Hearthstone Bennington
From Hearthstone
Even on the coldest days, even in the most spacious homes… the Bennington model 8350 is sure to keep your entire home toasty warm. The largest of our cast iron woodstoves, the Bennington generates an impressive 70,000 BTUs when fully loaded, able to heat areas of up to 2,200 square feet.
With an exclusive double-wall cast iron frame and built-in rear heat shield, the Bennington’s huge firebox serves as a convection chamber that allows air to circulate within, and then return, thoroughly warmed, into the room.
The Bennington’s Non-catalytic combustion system creates more heat with less wood. And, with both front and side doors, loading the Bennington is simple. A large, self-cleaning window means you can relax and enjoy the flames for hours.

Don't buy this stove. It is extremely difficult to operate. We have burned wood for over 25 years and never had problems until we purchased this stove. It has a mind of its own, when you want it to burn hot it is impossible to get it going wiothout cheating and allowing a door or the ash pan to be opened allowing more air into the stove. When you shut the door the stove just smolders. It is ...Overall Performance:

TWO MAJOR complaints on this stove..... As mentioned in the previous post, you can not get a real flame unless the ash pan door is open. Also the 'self cleaning' system for the front glass forces the smoke to billow into the room when you open the front doors to load it. The smole billows out because the air intake forces the air to front of the stove. I get enough heat from the stove, but ...Overall Performance:
