Comfort Glow CGWS2500 Wood Stove review

A big plate steel stove, stating 112,800 BTU and 21 inch logs, with secondary combustion but only 3 Amazon ratings.

What the listing commits to

Comfort Glow states up to 2,500 square feet and 21 inch logs, with 112,800 BTU in the table. The body is plate steel with a cast iron door, and the firebox is brick lined with secondary combustion.

Value, with a caveat

Those numbers come cheap compared with other large stoves, yet the page omits firebox volume and weight, which show the true size better than a BTU claim.

What to ask

Ask the seller for the manual, the EPA certificate number and the parts list. A stove you cannot get firebrick or a door gasket for is a short-lived purchase.

Setup

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.

Questions this one prompts

Does it need power?

The listing describes no powered parts for operation, and it is a natural vent wood stove. A blower, if fitted, would need power.

What size flue does it use?

The part of the listing we read does not say. Check the manual before you order pipe.

Our score

7.6/ 10

Cheap for its stated output. Thin buyer history means you should confirm the warranty and spare parts first.
