[Hearth.com] Rika Combi Stoves?
Has anyone managed to get their hands on a Rika Combi (pellet and wood) stove? To my knowledge, they aren’t available in the US yet, but I would be very interested to hear how they perform. The old Austroflaums were real workhorses, but a duel fuel pellet/wood stove would be something else if it worked well.
 
I think you may have to wait a long time as I believe Austroflamm (Rika) has pulled out of the US marketplace.
 
I think they just didn’t want to mess with passing EPA emissions in which case we may never get them.
