Building with stone that have been hand selected from nature has once again become a lost art. The ability to construct a real masonry fireplace has become rare as well. The pictures here are of real masonry fireplaces that have been done recently. The stone masonry fireplace is a main focal point of our homes. We believe they should not only look spectacular but be highly efficient as well. Our high efficient wood burning units will heat up to 2400 square feet so if or when you experience a power outage, you will at least be able to stay warm. The units themselves are constructed of ¼” plate steel. They have positive locking glass doors and the glass itself will withstand 1400 degree heat with the use of ceramic glass. There is a damper control in the stack and a damper control for outside combustion air that maximizes the burn of the wood and at the same time stops the draw and use of inside room air for the fire. In most of the old style fireplaces room air was drawn up the stack and wasted. Room air is drawn into a lower grill and then heated by the firebox then forced out the upper grill by gravity feed or in some cases a blower fan. We have an optional hot water attachment as well for domestic water or in-floor heating. The relief carving on the one mantle was done by jordanscustom.com.   While log home construction is our primary focus, stone masonry has worked hand in hand with all of our log structures. There is over 100 years of stone masonry experience in our family.  Alaska Log Structures 2nd and 3rd generation stone masons Greg and Jason Anderson continue a tradition of decades of quality work.  We provide real and cultured stone masonry.  While there are many styles of fireplaces to choose from, many you see now are of a generic nature. We work on new and renovation projects.  If you want a new stone masonry fireplace built from scratch, or perhaps you have an exposed foundation block wall you would like to have covered with a rock veneer, we will be glad to look at your project.
