US Stove 2500 Wood Stove vs Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P Wood Stove

These two are near twins on paper: both are 2,500 sq ft, 112,800 BTU non-catalytic steel stoves with a 2.73 cu ft firebox that takes 21-inch logs. The US Stove 2500 adds a 100 CFM blower and both legs and a pedestal in the box, so it moves heat into a room better out of the gate. The Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P is mobile home approved and has an air wash and brick-lined firebox, but its blower is sold separately. Buy the US Stove for a big open space where you want forced air; buy the Ashley if you need mobile home approval or prefer a pedestal with an ash pan.

• Choose the US Stove 2500 if you want a blower included and the option to run it on legs or a pedestal.
• Choose the Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P if you need a mobile home approved stove or want the ash pan and air wash.
