Ashley 1,200 Sq. Ft. Wood Stove Insert AW1820E

The Ashley Hearth Products AW1820E is an air tight fireplace insert that will greatly improve the efficiency of an existing fireplace. The AW1820E fireplace insert meets the stringent requirements of the EPA "Step 2" 2020 certification guidelines. With a heavy cast iron door with a cool touch wood handle and air washed ceramic glass that allows a magnificent view of the burning fire, it will be a beautiful addition to an existing hearth. Producing 69,000 BTUs, this insert heats up to 1,200 sq. ft., accepting logs up to 18 in. in length. Heavy gauge 3/16 in. reinforced plate steel with firebrick lining supports long-term durability and combustion efficiency, and an adjustable high-speed 150 CFM blower is included to help circulate warm air. It comes with a large 31 in. x 44 in. hearth surround to fully enclose the existing fireplace and is equipped with a spring-loaded automatic adjustment to make installation a breeze, achieving over 75% efficient heating. This model replaces the previous Vogelzang model TR004 Colonial fireplace insert and the US Stove Company model 2200IE insert.

How The Ashley AW1820E Compares To The US Stove US1800E

Homeowners evaluating brand identity for a fireplace insert usually face this question: should I choose the US Stove-branded US1800E, or this Ashley-branded AW1820E with its cool touch wood handle, since both share the same 69,000 BTU output and 1,200 sq. ft. coverage.

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Ashley AW1820E Is Worth The Investment

This isn't a different insert under the hood, it's the same 69,000 BTU output, firebrick-lined construction, and 150 CFM blower as the US1800E, giving homeowners who prefer the Ashley Hearth name and cool touch wood handle detail the identical performance.

The AW1820E specifically addresses the needs of homeowners with an old, inefficient fireplace who want the Ashley Hearth brand's styling alongside genuine EPA-compliant heating efficiency.

Turns A Drafty Fireplace Into An Efficient, Airtight Appliance. An air tight fireplace insert design greatly improves the efficiency of an existing fireplace, so the same opening that once let heat escape up the chimney now genuinely warms the room.

Built For Real Supplemental Heat. Producing 69,000 BTUs, this EPA "Step 2" 2020 certified insert heats up to 1,200 sq. ft. and achieves over 75% efficient heating. Heavy gauge 3/16 in. reinforced plate steel with firebrick lining supports long-term durability.

Engineered For Clean Viewing And Easy Installation. A heavy cast iron door with a cool touch wood handle and air washed ceramic glass offers a magnificent, safe-to-touch view of the burning fire. A large 31 in. x 44 in. hearth surround fully encloses the existing fireplace, with spring-loaded automatic adjustment for straightforward installation.

Real Savings. Converting an existing fireplace avoids the cost of a full fireplace replacement or new construction. An included 150 CFM blower avoids the added cost of purchasing air circulation separately, and over 75% efficient heating reduces the amount of wood needed to heat the same space compared to an open hearth. 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 with an old, inefficient fireplace who want the Ashley Hearth brand's styling alongside genuine heating efficiency can't get that combination from a differently branded insert. The Ashley AW1820E is built with a cool touch wood handle, a firebrick-lined firebox, and an included 150 CFM blower, so it delivers up to 69,000 BTUs of real heat at over 75% efficiency. For anyone wanting Ashley Hearth styling in a genuinely efficient fireplace insert, this is the insert built to make it work.
