Why The Ashley AP5617-W Is Worth The Investment

This isn't a different stove under the hood, it's the same 90 lb. hopper, AURORA burner system, and Smart Stove Technology platform as the US5517-W, giving homeowners who prefer the Ashley Hearth name and styling the identical performance and features for a mid-size home. The AP5617-W specifically addresses the needs of homeowners heating up to 2,200 sq. ft. who want the Ashley Hearth brand's traditional pedestal styling alongside app-based remote control.

Turns A Mid-Size Home Into An Efficiently Heated Space. A 50% larger 90 lb. pellet hopper delivers up to 47 hours of continuous warmth and comfort, so a mid-size home gets nearly two days of heat per load without the bulk of the largest 170 lb. hopper models.

Built For Efficient, Well-Rounded Heat. The AP5617-W delivers up to 30,000 BTUs of heat for spaces up to 2,200 sq. ft., with the AURORA diverse airflow burner system providing a beautiful flame alongside an unmatched increase in airflow and heat output. Traditional pedestal styling fits a range of home interiors without demanding a redesign of the room around it.

Engineered For Modern Convenience. Smart Stove Technology gives Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control through the US Stove App, so heat settings can be checked and adjusted from anywhere in the home. A 90 lb. hopper delivers up to 47 hours of burn time on the lowest setting, and because it runs on wood pellet fuel, a carbon neutral green energy source, it stays among the most environmentally friendly heating options on the market.

Real Savings. A right-sized hopper avoids paying for capacity beyond what a mid-size home needs, while app-based remote control allows adjustments without physically visiting the stove. Automated pellet feeding helps avoid wasted fuel from inconsistent manual feeding, and free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately.

The Bottom Line Homeowners who want the Ashley Hearth brand's traditional pedestal styling without sacrificing hopper capacity or smart features can't get that combination from a smaller or differently branded stove. The AP5617-W is built with a 90 lb. hopper, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth app control, and the AURORA burner system, so it delivers up to 47 hours of heat per load in a right-sized package. For anyone wanting Ashley Hearth styling in a mid-size heating solution, this is the stove built to make it work.

Can I install a wall thermostat?

Yes, however, it must be a wired thermostat.  The control boards do not accept wireless or smart thermostats.

Is there another model that ends in “W”? What the difference?

The models ending in W has Wi-Fi capabilities. This allows you to control the stove using the USSC App. The model without the W comes with a remote control that works with an IR sensor on the stove.

Can it exhaust through the ceiling?

Yes, it can be exhausted through the ceiling. Refer to the owners manual with installation recommendations.

Do you offer installation?

We recommend using an NFI Certified Installer.

Will my stove shut off when the desired temperature is met in T-Stat mode?

No.  These control boards are designed to be a High/Low thermostat mode rather than an ON/OFF.  This means that the control board will operate between heat range 1 and the setting that the control board is set to.  For example, if you have the control board set on heat range 3 and are running the stove in T-Stat mode the heater will run on heat range one any time that the temperature is sufficed, and it will run up to setting 3 anytime the thermostat is calling for heat.  If the Thermostat isn’t calling for heat, the stove will still run on the lowest setting, so this means that it is possible that it can exceed the setpoint temperature.

Why is my Wi-Fi control board flashing all the time?

This is likely due to the hopper fuel sensor. This is intended to indicate that the hopper fuel is getting low, however, this can also mean that the sensor just needs to be recalibrated.  This is a simple task.  You will just need a small flat head screwdriver to turn the small brass screw on the fuel sensor located on the back of the hopper.  Turn it clockwise slowly until the control board stops flashing when there are pellets in the hopper.

How often should I shut the stove down and clean the burn pot out?

This depends on how often you are running the stove.  It is recommended that the burn pot be emptied and cleaned before each ignition.  The burn pot should be inspected daily if you are continually using it to see if it needs to be cleaned.

What type of pellets should I be using?

We recommend only using PFI certified premium hardwood pellets.

Can I burn corn, coffee pellets, or other fuels in my pellet stove?

No. These stoves are designed and tested to specifically burn only wood pellets.

Do I need a fresh air kit?

If you have a mobile home certified pellet stove installed in a mobile home, then a fresh air kit is required.  If you are in a newer build home it is also recommended. If you are in a home with a small area for makeup air or you are getting a poor burn, then it is also recommended that you use a fresh air kit.

What type of power backup can I get to use during a power outage?

We recommend a minimum of 1000w pure sine wave invertor battery backup for a short period of time. If you are using a generator, we recommend that it is 1000w inverter generator.

Why is my auger not turning?

• First check that the auger pin is connected and not broken. If it is broken, then there is likely an auger jam.
• Auger jam is a potential cause.  This typically occurs due to a buildup of pellets in the auger tube. If this is the cause, you can usually clean out the hopper and remove the jam and the heater will then work as it should.
• The hopper switch is another likely culprit, this can move over time to where it is not fully engaging and may just need to be slightly adjusted.
• An issue with vacuum can also cause this to occur.  Vacuum issues are typically a result of a dirty stove/flue pipe, leaking gasket, or improperly installed exhaust pipe.
– Start by making sure that all clean outs are clean and free of debris.
– Make sure that the venting is installed per the owner’s manual and is not clogged with debris or ashes.

Do these heaters get hot to the touch?

Yes.  Though some parts such as the hopper and the back of the stove should remain relatively cool, the front and sides of the stove will get extremely hot and will cause burns if touched.
