What you get
The Ashley Hearth AW2520E-P 2,500 Sq Ft Wood Stove is a wood stove that its maker rates at 112,800 BTU per hour and says heats up to 2,500 square feet.
In EPA's terms this is a large heater. If the space it will sit in is much smaller than 2,500 square feet, look at a smaller model so it can burn at a healthy rate; the calculator lists the closest fits.
The firebox takes logs up to 21 in, so cut or order wood a little shorter than that.
It connects to a 6-inch flue; the pipe and any liner should match that collar as the installation manual sets out. Stove pipe basics explains the parts.
No power is needed for the fire itself, which is why wood stoves are a common outage backup (the blower won't run without it).
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 25.6 in (D) x 27 in (W) x 31.4 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 291 lb and alloy steel construction.
Warranty, per the listing: Limited LIfetime Firebox warranty, 1 year all other parts.
