BTU, firebox size and the two labels that matter · review
A plate steel stove with 224 Amazon ratings, a secondary burn with no catalyst, and both legs and a pedestal in the box.
Ashley states 68,000 BTU, up to 1,200 square feet and a 1.3 cubic foot firebox that takes 18 inch logs. It burns without a catalyst, using secondary combustion instead. The legs and the pedestal both come in the box, so you can pick the look later.
At 4.1 out of 5 across 224 ratings, it has a real buyer history. The US Stove US1100E has the same stated output and firebox with only 3 ratings, so here you pay for a known quantity.
The firebox is covered by a limited lifetime warranty, and everything else for 1 year. That is a common split, and it means the door, the handle and the glass parts are on the short side.
This stove ships by LTL freight, and the listing asks for a phone number or email for delivery. Plan how you will move it from the curb into the house. Before ordering, download the manual and read the clearance table, then ask your local building department what it requires. Have the installation inspected, and put a CO alarm on the same level as the stove.

No. The listing says it runs without electricity, so it keeps working in an outage. The blower sold for this family is a separate option.
Up to 18 inches, in a 1.3 cubic foot firebox. Cut your wood shorter than that so it loads without touching the glass.
