What you get
The Comfort Glow CGWS1500 Wood Stove is a wood stove that its maker says heats up to 1,200 square feet.
Treat the 1,200 square feet as the maker's best case for an open, reasonably insulated space. Measure the open area around where it will stand, and check it against the calculator; a heater far bigger than the room ends up run low and smoky.
The firebox takes logs up to 18 in, so cut or order wood a little shorter than that.
A wood stove keeps working when the grid goes down, though its blower needs power.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 21.5 in (D) x 22.5 in (W) x 29.5 in (H) and alloy steel, cast iron door construction.
Warranty, per the listing: 2 Year Manufacturer Defect Only.
