Its the cabinet model circulator model BCAC.

My neighbor has same one I've run his before it's an awesome stove. I actually see these same models in town. My neighbor has gotten 20 hours burns with his Ashley his you can idle for days if you want.

I went with this because I've seen them in person and operated one.

You are aware that USS bought out Ashley a few yrs back & they do tend to CHEAPEN construction. I'd bet your neighbor has a regular Ashley. Just something for ya to check out before spendin MORE money on junk. Does the one you ordered STATE it'll burn wood, bit, etc??? $1051.00 at Home Depot

It's a coal burner

His is not an old model it's made by USS. It's took some abuse I'll say that for sure. He purchased it from same place I ordered mine from.

Corey, no matter what US Stove product you get, be sure to install that MPD. If you never have to use it, great.........if you need it one time, it can be a real life saver..........literally. Cheap protection that literally takes minutes to install.

Yes the MPD will be installed.

I just choose this one cause I've had more experience with the neighbors. One time we were hanging out in the kitchen had Ash door open it got roaring BUT we closed it all down it settled down in about 5 minutes. Then it just idled all night. Got more memory with his stove but that sums it up.

Corey, before jumping on that Ashley, you can get a Hitzer 55 for about the same money. Priced one last year $ 1025 from my dealer. And believe me that Hitzer is the far better of the two.

I know it may not compare to a Hitzer. But if it is as good as my Wondercoal was or bit better I'm a happy a camper.

My house is sealed up good normally I run a stove on low I'm good with that it's not built like a tank.
Even when it's at 0 outside I've never had to push a stove very much

Guys I apologize for all the trouble. I will have an MPD in my pipe should have never taken it out a while back.

I just thought I would share my buddy's experience with his Ashley. Also my EPA stove was made by USS. Actually a good product I just wanted a stove with a grate.

I honestly tried to order the Hitzer I have a good account with my current dealer. But he does not have an account with Hitzer.

I honestly think the Wonderluxe is just a bad model it is the cheapest model besides the box woods by the company.

Hell C, it just business as usual!

I would like to announce this Wonderluxe had some problems from day one. I could stick a fingernail in the top plate. Also the outside of the unit looked abused.

I never should have fired it.

I apologize for not sharing full information.

I'm optimistic that with an MPD in the pipe and the new Ashley you'll have much better luck.

Been talking with USS.

They got my pictures looks like the cost of that damaged Wonderluxe might slash the cost of the Ashley.
