New Furnace coming soon

I spoke to Fred, the midwest Rep for Alaska Stove.

They use basically what consists of a coal stove type direct venter to supply the air for combustions as do most bio mass stoves. They pull the combustion air through the material in the burn pot rather than pushing up through like on all coal stokers. However they are well made and very efficient bio mass stoves for those who are not in or close to the coal region they are definitely a unit to look at.
