After my trip to Wyoming a few weeks ago I decided to sell my cylinder wood stove. It worked great but at 70lbs I decided it was time in my life to get a lighter one. It sold in one day on Cragislist for what I paid for it 13 years ago which would almost sound good if money were worth the same today....
Anyway, I'm leaning towards the
Kni-co Alaskan or the
Riley Colt but please let me know if I should consider any others.
I like the Riley for its galvanized metal, double walls, and simple design but I'm a little concerned that embers can fly out the air intake vent because it seems there's nothing in the way.
I like the Kni-co because it seems better sealed, appears to be more popular, and costs less but I don't like that it rusts and requires dirt in the bottom or a false bottom.
Both are in my weight range.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer.
