Does anyone have one and can you tell me what you think of it. How long of burns do you get out of it? I am looking at a 2500sf model.

I`ve been using mine for over 30 years. It`s a real monster I guess. Replace the door gaskets every few years. I don`t know the model # of mine, but it has 2 doors. split in the middle. A few years ago I was having a smoking problem and I thought it was leaking somewhere around the pipe. Turns out in the back left corner there was actually a gap between the back plate and the top plate. Enough of the weld got worn away from heat and rust, then I went in with the wire brush scouring the joint and I was kind of surprised at the size of the gap. Maybe 3/16". The welder just floated the gap, but it eventually wore through. I think I paid like$175 for it about 40 years ago and it will definitely outlast me except maybe for a direct hit from a 500 pounder or something.


The Beaver and the Bear will show the way.

Bought one off Craigslist for $70 about 20 years ago.
It was worth it!
Although, it was in a shed out in a muddy field, couldn't get the truck real close, and I was by myself,lol.

Had an Ashley wood cook.stove at one point as well, but sold it before using it.
" Modern" looking, in a 1950s way

My dad had one years ago, it was a good stove. Had an automatic damper on the air intake.

Ashley has gone down hill over the years. Now their steel is Chinese and they have become less than they used to be. Drolet makes great budget stoves, made in Canada and are way better quality than Ashley.

Mark, I have owned Ashley cabinate/circulator type stoves for nearly 40 years. I had one in the house as our main heat source and one out in my taxidermy shop. I love them. I have the size that can take a 24 inch log (model number unknown).There is no problem holding a fire overnight as long as the gasket is in good shape. I never used the electric blower on any of my stoves (they all had a thermostatic senor that would kick on when the stove got going good.......instead, I used a ceiling fan installed above the stove. It/they were much quieter than the stove's fan. My old farmhouse is around 1500 sq ft, and my shop just under 1000 sq ft. I have mainly propane in the house now because of my health preventing me from cutting wood. I'd go back to all wood heat in a heartbeat if I could cut wood. It is WAY more comfortable heat.
