Put a down payment on ashford yesterday, Was really unsure of the stoves ability to heat our 1875sq ft home in Wisconsin, did a lot of talking to people on this site and mentioned my concerns to my dealer he assured me I would be happy with the stove and if I wasn't they would take it back, that sealed the deal, I know five people who have bought there and were very happy with there transaction and they carry a large number of different brand stoves. Thanks to everyone answering my questions.
