What you get
The US Stove 5040 Pellet Stove is a pellet stove; its listing doesn't state a heating area or heat output, so size it with the maker's manual.
It runs on electricity as well as pellets: the auger, combustion fan and room blower all need power, so a power cut stops it. Outage options.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 24.5 in (D) x 21.5 in (W) x 28.5 in (H) and alloy steel construction.
