Gm guys,
Question for ya, has anyone ever cut the feet off of an Alaskan Kodak Hand Fired Stove? Then relocated the blower and or upgraded the blower to a quieter blower? I want to move the stove up onto our hearth, but with the feet on it will not allow access to my SS liner without an elbow down which is a no, no.

There is an air space there, likely, to keep heat off the floor for safety. Other than that I dont know if it would cause any other problems except maybe rust.

Wow..nice stove! I just got one of those for $150 a few months back when I went to pick up a loaf of coal from someone who bought a house and was removing it and getting rid of it and contents of coal bin...just missing glass and needs a few gaskets...

I’ve gotten 3 stoves from people I went to pickup free coal from one I paid 75 because it was a beautiful chocolate and cream coalbrookdale ( had a 3-4 year old hitzer insert offered free if removed 6 months ago , took the 60 bags of blashack young couple just bought and were scared of stove because of 2 toddlers)

Thanks bill , this is a Penn Royal " baron " I think it's rated for 90-100 k btu ( this thing is at least 2 1/2 times the size of 50kbtu stove , bottom grate is like 20x20 with another 2" angle to the brick ,kind of a PIA to fully clear when shaking so I usually run it 6-8 days than do a good clean , it burns wood really well with top spinners

So is Penn Royal the brand, or is the brand a Pine Baron? Seems I’ve heard of Pine Baron but I don’t know anything about them.
Your stove, whatever it is seems built very heavy. I like the looks of it.

The Penn Royal name rang a bell in my head. I could be wrong but I remember a welding shop a couple miles from me that made stoves in the 70s. Long gone now.

I think you are spot on ( my impression of the company is that it capitalized on the well known names of Penn stoves and Royal at a time where everyone who could was switching or adding a supplementary heater) they made enough to justify the casting of there own badges
