Hello all. Been lurking for months now. Tons of valuable info to be found on this site. I've been reading pros and cons of many of the stoves out there and was trying to find some info on Alaska wood stoves. Living in Central PA I would like to support a local brand, if they were worth their salt. Saw their models at a local dealer, and they seemed to be made fairly stout. The only mention I've seen of them on this site is their Kodiak coal stove. Is there a reason why they don"t seem to be popular?
