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?

Since both of their larger stoves are catalytic and require 8" flues that probably limits sales somewhat. That and a limited dealer network.
Made out of 1/4" plate steel and with a 3.5 cf firebox and cat the big one ought to be a sturdy heating beast.

Thanks for the reply Brotherbart. I did forget about that 8" flue. Out of all the stoves I looked at, Alaska's two big ones were the only ones I saw that jumped into the 8" catagory. I am kinda interested in their model 1600, it looked like that one still utilized a 6" flue.
