Why The Ashley AG23 Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a gas heater, it's a genuine cast iron stove aesthetic, giving homeowners the classic look of a wood-burning stove along with the flexible installation and push-button convenience of gas.
The AG23 specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want the traditional look and durability of cast iron construction on graceful legs, without the maintenance of an actual wood-burning stove.
Turns Classic Cast Iron Styling Into Push-Button Convenience. With the included remote control, flame height, accent lighting, and blower speed can be adjusted at the touch of a button, so the classic wood-stove look comes with none of the manual fire-tending a real wood stove requires.
Built For Realistic, Efficient Heat. Heating up to 1,000 sq. ft. with up to 23,500 BTUs on natural gas, the AG23 delivers real warmth alongside its visual appeal. An included red brick liner and Ridgewood timber logs create a realistic flame presentation, and a large glass viewing area maximizes enjoyment of the burning fire.
Engineered For Flexible Fuel And Circulation. Designed for natural gas operation, the unit can be converted to propane using the optional 23LP conversion kit, sold separately, giving flexibility if fuel access changes. A 130 CFM blower helps distribute heat evenly throughout the room.
Real Savings. Converting fuel type later with the optional conversion kit avoids the cost of buying a separate stove if the available gas source changes. Durable cast iron construction supports long-term use, reducing the likelihood of costly early replacement, and remote-adjustable heat levels help avoid running the stove at full output when it isn't needed. 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 classic look of a cast iron wood stove without the manual upkeep can't get the same combination of aesthetic and convenience from a standard gas insert. The Ashley AG23 is built with durable cast iron construction, a 130 CFM blower, and a full-function remote, so it delivers realistic ambiance and real heat output up to 23,500 BTUs. For anyone wanting genuine stove styling with modern gas convenience, this is the stove built to make it work.
