What you get
The Comfort Glow CGWS2500 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.
Treat the 2,500 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 21 in, so cut or order wood a little shorter than that.
It needs no electricity to burn, so it keeps heating in a power cut.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 25.5 in (D) x 27 in (W) x 31.6 in (H) and cast iron door, plate steel construction.
Warranty, per the listing: 2 year manufacturer defect only.
