Ashley Hearth AP5617-W Pellet Stove 90 lb Hopper 2200 Sq Ft

The AP5617-W is rated to efficiently heat living spaces up to 2,200 square feet, making it well-suited for medium to large homes, open-concept floor plans, cabins, and shops. Actual heating performance will vary based on insulation quality, ceiling height, climate zone, and home layout.

The "W" designation indicates Wi-Fi capability. After connecting the stove to your home network, you can download the US Stove App to control your stove remotely from your smartphone. The app allows you to adjust heat settings, monitor operation, and turn the stove on or off from anywhere. Bluetooth connectivity is also built in for direct local control.

Ashley/US Stove recommends using only PFI (Pellet Fuels Institute) certified premium hardwood pellets. The stove is specifically designed and tested for wood pellets only—burning corn, coffee pellets, or alternative biomass fuels is not permitted and will void the warranty. Using high-quality premium pellets ensures optimal performance, cleaner burns, and lower ash production.

Yes, this stove is Mobile Home Approved in the USA. However, mobile home installation requires the use of the optional 69FAK Fresh Air Kit, which is sold separately. The fresh air kit is also recommended for newer tightly sealed homes or any installation where adequate combustion makeup air may be limited.

The AP5617-W requires a 3-inch diameter pellet vent pipe (Type L or PL vent), and the stove is configured for rear venting. It can be vented horizontally through an exterior wall or vertically through the ceiling and roof, depending on your installation needs. Refer to the owner's manual for required clearances and complete installation specifications. Professional installation by an NFI Certified Installer is recommended.

The Ashley AP5617-W is backed by a 5-year limited warranty on the firebox, a 1-year limited warranty on all other parts, and a 1-year warranty on electrical components. The warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal residential use when installed and operated according to the owner's manual.

For optimal performance, the burn pot should be emptied and cleaned before each ignition cycle. During continuous use, inspect the burn pot daily to determine if cleaning is needed. A more thorough cleaning of the firebox, heat exchanger, and exhaust system should be performed periodically based on usage—generally every few weeks during heavy heating season and at the end of each burning season.

Since pellet stoves require electricity to operate the auger, blower, and control board, a backup power solution is recommended for areas prone to outages. US Stove recommends a minimum 1,000-watt pure sine wave inverter battery backup for short-term operation, or a 1,000-watt inverter generator for longer outages. This will keep your stove running safely and prevent any combustion issues during a power interruption.
