Breckwell SW500 Wood Stove vs Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P Wood Stove
The Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P is the bigger, more capable stove and the better buy for heating a whole house. The Breckwell SW500 is a narrow, purpose-built unit for cabins, workshops and tight corners where a full-size stove will not fit. The Ashley offers a 2.73 cu ft firebox, 21-inch logs and up to 112,800 BTUs, while the Breckwell tops out at 26,000 BTUs and 11-inch logs in a 16-inch-wide body. Owners of large stoves like the Ashley praise long overnight burns but note the blower is extra; compact-stove buyers pick the Breckwell for its footprint and mobile home approval.
- Choose the Breckwell SW500 if you are heating under 750 sq ft, have a narrow space, or need a stove approved for a mobile home with a blower included.
- Choose the Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P if you are heating a large open area and want long burn times from full-size logs.
