What you get
The US Stove SR57E Wood Stove is a wood stove that its maker rates at 60,000 BTU per hour and says heats up to 1,000 square feet.
In EPA's terms this is a small heater. If the space it will sit in is much smaller than 1,000 square feet, look at a smaller model so it can burn at a healthy rate; the calculator lists the closest fits.
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.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 20 in (D) x 24 in (W) x 28 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 160 lb and cast iron construction.
Warranty, per the listing: 1 year limited.
