I have the same stove. I have never found a way for the ash to be able to fall into the ash drawer. I’ve pulled up the bricks on the bottom to see if there was a way but I can’t figure it out. Do you have the same problem?
Hello! Our pan is just like yours and we don't use it. The stove brochure says "Integrated ash pan with brushed nickel handle makes cleanup easy". It's just to small for an ash pan, plus you have to take it out to put ashes in it? We scoop our ashes into a metal 3 gallon can and them spread them on the garden. Take care!
Me neither. Than found out it was just a scam.. only for the eyes. Lying animals. My excitement dissipated when I did the same and realized I was scammed. What a great company. Why in the world would you even make an ash trey if is not usable. Probably it was a little too hard for the welder to come up with something. Back in our country we had our own scams, but here in America, man looking back to the Old Country we were chicken shit compared to the American hypocrisy and crookedness
Awesome video thanks for sharing. Good to see Libby! Curious, our mini splits seem to not do as well at -4 and lower. Do you use yours at lower temps than that?
Hey Mike! Our mini splits work around zero but not as efficiently as say 20 to 25 degrees. We like to supplement heat on cold days with the woodstove to keep the energy bill lower. Plus, we feel much warmer with the wood heat. Libby needs her own cat channel, lol! Take care
@@tbb10785 I hear you on the wood heat! Our heat pump still runs at -20 Celsius but just blows warm air not hot. Like you we also don’t have ducting so it’s hard to move the heat around. Thanks for reaching out. Cheers,Mike.
Hey Mike, I just realized you are located in Canada. My degrees above are in Fahrenheit. My brain doesn't work very well for air temps in Celcius. However, most of my mechanic work has been using metric tools which I prefer. What a hodge podge of going back and forth, lol
Hello, thanks for the question. 12 feet of total pipe from the stove top. This question was asked on the Home Depot page for this stove, here's the Q&A "Q:Do I really need 12' of stove Piping? I live in a mobile home,and that wood mean 7'feet of chimney pipe above the roof line! Dec 4, 2022 1 Answer A: Yes, there must be a minimum of 12ft of vertical piping. by USStoveExpert Mar 12, 2023" www.homedepot.com/p/Ashley-Hearth-Products-1-200-sq-ft-2020-EPA-Certified-Wood-Burning-Stove-AW1120E-P/313268588 This was an issue on the our previous Jotul wood stove has it had minimum length and we were 1 foot short, and the stove did work well. The minimum length was in the Jotul manual be I didn't see in in the Ashley manual. I hope this answered your question!
Sorry for the delay, Thursdays start at 4:30am for us and end late. The Owners Manual doesn't address using or not using a damper, so that wasn't any help. I found this after a search "Newer models of wood stove don’t typically require a damper. A damper was traditionally used on older, less efficient, models of stove to help reduce the flow of air leaving the firebox. Certified modern stoves meet stringent regulations and typically won’t need a damper to perform well." at fireplaceuniverse.com/does-wood-stove-need-damper/ I personally have never used a pipe damper with the 3 modern stoves we have owned. I could see it being used if you had a chimney fire and wanted to block the air feeding the fire. Hope you have a great weekend!
@tbb10785 I was thinking newer models didn't require them. I was just wondering is all. We have the same model as yall and it was installed by a professional and he said the manual said not to use one so we didn't put one in. Although you made a good point as to a chimney fire, it would aid in choking that out. Thanks a lot. Take care and God bless.
@tbb10785 Okay, good to know. Thanks for the information. I'll probably not worry about one and certainly pray that we or anyone for that matter ever has a fire.
I plan to run a chimney brush through the pipe once a year. Probably not necessary but good insurance 🙂. FYI, I burn about half kiln dried oak scraps in the stove and the moisture content is around 7%. Good stuff!
Everything you guys said was how beautiful the stove is, however never mention that he has one sorry lousy airflow hole which barely gets the fire started therefore that's the reason why the front door has to stay open a little bit because it was engineered completely wrong. Back in Europe this would not even sell for $20 . even the Russians would make fun of it. To keep the door open when starting a fire is the dumbest thing in the world because obviously the fire May jump out and burn your house
To each their own. Our video was with experience from 3 stoves we've personally owned, Vermont Casting, Jotul, & Ashley. The Jotul 602 made in Norway, we had to crack the door on it to start a fire too. Jotul must make crap stoves according to your comments.
@@tbb10785 i just bought one and trying to get it started. Having a hard time cuz it has no air flow except opening the door. Absolutely nothing. They could have been done better. When I completely close the glass door, fires dies. I guess I will need to let the fire get bigger before closing the door, like ur husband said. I'll see how that goes. No idea y they did that disappointing job concerning the air flow. I put my hand through the bottom opening and try to see how the air comes right inside the chamber, never found any holes. Nothing. All my house was full of smoke. Couldn't get any air flow
Good morning. Now I understand your frustration! Is your chimney pipe straight up? We had the Jotul with a through the wall kit which put a 22 degree angle in the chimney pipe. We had to wiggle our hand up the first part of the pipe with newspaper and then light. Once it was pre-warmed the stove would draw. Also, the stove needs a minimum of 12ft of chimeny pipe. This is very important because we had an issue with Jotul back puffing smoke into the house because it had less the required 11ft. Here's our start up method for the Ashley. I use 3 to 4 pieces of kiln dried pine and oak kindling, mixed. I usually wrap a couple of pieces inside a paper grocery bag then put a couple slightly bigger pieces of oak on top. I light this and crack the stove about 3/8 of an inch and watch until the smoke clears, then move the door a little more closed. Finally if it's burning well I'll add small pieces of firewood and close the door completely. This takes about 10 minutes if all goes well. BTW, these new air tight and efficient stoves are all hard to start in my opinion. It's all about getting the chimney as warm as possible as quick as possible.

It’s a pos
The ash pan is meant for a vessel to shovel ash into.

@@tbb10785 I just did the conversions and it seams the heat pumps are approximately the same. Either way when it gets really cold light a fire. Lol.
Hey Mike at 5:18 of video you said you need 12' of pipe , is that straight off stove or did you mean 12' of chimney ?

Does this stove require or not require a pipe damper? Why or why not?

Hope you have a blessed day! I noticed that on the US Stove site (Ashley) that they sale a pipe damper as an accessory.
