Hello to all.

I am looking to buy a coal stove for my house, but the more I research them the more confused I get. I am looking at Harman, Keystoker, Alaska and Leisure Line.

I like the Harman but the clearances are very large on the sides. Keystoker seems well built but its not a good looking stove for a den. The Alaska and Leisure Line look good but I have not seen them in person only on their web sites. Are they all equal in quaility.

All these stoves come in Stoker and Hand Fired models, and I still dont know which way to go on that either.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you very much.
