    So I would like to upgrade my wood stove at some point in the near future to an epa certified stove. At this point I have an Alaska Co wood stove. I was browsing a Pennsylvania classifieds site and found this. I was wondering what you guys thought. I haven't reached out about any info yet but I'm wondering if this is an Osburn and the seller misread it. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Don't know about the stove, but since you didn't ask, I really like my PE stove.

    I'm planning on contacting them as soon as my membership for the classified thing gets approved. The seller didn't leave any contact info. I'm not sure how you sell something that way :doh:.

    Do you know anything about these stoves? Guess I could just consult the Google magic internets. It's got all the info.

    I have spent the last few days preparing my Osburn 2200 for install. I took it apart and repainted it and am doing the first burn outside today. I have some smoke coming from the stove top but am assuming this is the paint curing. Some pics... 20180805_194630.jpg 20180805_194832.jpg

    You bet it is :thumbs:

    It took some time to get it up to temp with the warm air outside but it's going now. I think I will transfer some of the pieces to the little fire ring we have and enjoy the rest of the evening. The secondary flames are really cool to watch.
