Comfort Glow CGWS1500 review

Comfort Glow CGWS1500 Wood Burning Stove, Fits 18" Logs

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.1 / 5

Comfort Glow's pedestal stove heats up to 1,200 square feet per the listing and takes 18-inch logs. EPA's list names the CGWS1500 in its US1100E certified group at 2.4 g/hr and 66% efficiency, with a tested output of up to 39,683 BTU/hr. The listing gives no BTU rating, so compare it on size and EPA's figures.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
