Plate steel stoves with a lifetime firebox warranty
The AW1120E-P is the most reviewed wood stove on this site, with 224 Amazon ratings, and the AW1820E insert has 193.
Ashley listings state BTU, firebox volume and log length, and give a limited lifetime warranty on the firebox with 1 year on other parts.
The weak spot is consistency. The AW2020-P page gives two firebox sizes. The AW3200-P page lists the stove under the United States Stove Company, which also sells the US Stove and Vogelzang models reviewed here.
Everything here comes from the Amazon.com listings of the products below, read from a New York address. Where a listing is silent, the review says so. Prices move, so use the live price on each review.
