Ashley AW2520E-P Wood Stove vs Ashley Hearth AW1120E-P Wood Stove

Buy the AW2520E-P if you are heating a large, open space and want one stove to do it. Buy the AW1120E-P if you are heating a cabin or a single room and want a simpler, lighter unit. The AW2520E-P is the more capable stove on paper: roughly 112,800 BTUs against 68,000, a 2.73 cubic foot firebox against a smaller one, and a 21-inch log limit against 18 inches. The AW1120E-P counters with a cast iron door, airwashed ceramic glass, an integrated ash pan and a pedestal that suits a cabin. Both are EPA 2020-certified steel stoves from the same family, and owners of this line report solid heat output but expect to feed either one often in cold weather.

• Choose the Ashley AW2520E-P if you need to heat a large area up to 2,500 square feet and want the bigger firebox and longer burn from larger logs.
• Choose the Ashley Hearth AW1120E-P if you are heating a cabin or a room up to 1,200 square feet and want the glass door, ash pan and pedestal design.
