What you get

The US Stove 5040 Pellet Stove is a pellet stove; its listing doesn't state a heating area or heat output, so size it with the maker's manual.

It runs on electricity as well as pellets: the auger, combustion fan and room blower all need power, so a power cut stops it. Outage options.

Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 24.5 in (D) x 21.5 in (W) x 28.5 in (H) and alloy steel construction.

The figures, from the maker

Each figure is the maker's or the listing's own, with its source marked. A figure the maker doesn't give is shown as not stated.

Questions about this model

Does the US Stove 5040 Pellet Stove work without power?
No, not on its own: the auger and fans need electricity. A battery backup the maker allows, or a generator, keeps it running.
