Alaska Kodiak, Any Good as a Stove?

I have come across an Alaska Kodiak stove. It looks like about the same size and basic design with the glass door as my Harman mark II. Sorry I cannot tell you exactly what model and I do not have any pictures to post, so just looking for general feed back. I have not gone to look at it yet, but I wanted to get an idea if they are basically a good stove, or just junk. Hoping somebody has one, and can let me know about these stoves

I have 2 Kodiak stoves,one is from the 1980's and the other was bought new and is on it's 3rd year.The Alaska co. has been around since the mid 70's I believe ,so they are Definitely not junk.The factory is in Bloomsburg,PA and they have some great people there to help you out.Any other questions just ask.

New Kodiak

Old Kodiak

Anybody can run some beads on 1/4 inch plate to make a stove, but with good customer service--we've got a WINNER.

Thanks MKLine.

The first picture you posted is the stove that is for sale. It looks identical!

The Kodiak is my second stove, burning it for 5th season. Mine has a hopper, makes it foolproof to use. I like that it runs very low early/late season w/very little attention, I can shake it once/24 hrs. at that rate, or screaming away it only needs shaking 2x per 24 hrs. Clean looking, nothing bad to say about it. I have called Alaska for a couple questions, very nice and knowledgeable humans on the phone. You'll like this one!
