As long as you don't over fire the Englander or other wood stove it should last for 10 to 20 years or even longer depending on how it was made.

If the wood stove is thinner metal such as sheet tin then it may only last 10 to 20 years of wood burning which still isn't bad but if you get a thick steel made wood stove or cast iron stove those can last 80 to 100 years or more.

I have a cast iron wood stove that's 60 years old that I bought used on Craigslist and it still looks like it has many more years of heating that it can last through.
