Lopi is awesome! OMG, I love the designs and the ruggedness of it too. Best of all, the beauty and long lasting. YES..... NO ONE is paying me or do I work for Lopi!
I Inherited my grandparents Lopi stove when I purchased there home, which they built themselves in 1980. I had many good memories with that stove, and my grandfather especially. When my sons were young, we were able to enjoy that fire and i enjoyed passing on the teachings and enjoyments of a good wood stove in the home. When that house went away that stove was the only thing I really really wanted to take with me. Ten years after losing that I still think about that stove whenever its cold out. If im ever fortunate enough to own my own home again and be able to have a wood stove, it will be a Lopi.
It's 2021 and I am so glad this detailed video exists! It's been a few years since I've used my wood stove so very grateful for all of the easy to use and understand info! Outstanding!
When we bought our endeavor the said they would install it for $300. Being cheap I wanted to do it myself to save the money. My wife insisted we let them do it citeing insurance reasons. Best decision of my life!! Two middle aged guys took 6 hours to put it in and these guys were as smooth as butter. Talked about football the entire day and I don't think they mentiond what they were doing as they were so well informed on what they were doing. DON'T PUT IT IN BY YOURSELF !!
@Level3-RC Okay, put one in yourself to see if this is a fake comment. save yourself $300 (20 year ago figure) and spend it on hireing someone to come in and straighten up your mess. My chimney went through two floors and a closet. Pitch of my roof is nearly 45 degrees and to keep things interesting a lightening storm brewed up as they were finishing the roof but the guy wouldn't come down until everything was flashed off with his partner nearly screaming at him from the ground. Believe what you want. (just noticed this original post was from Countryside Stove and Chiminey. There may be more than one but we used a company by the same name in or near Chaffee NY.) ( could give two shits what you believe, I just wanted to give fair warning to anyone thinking it was too expensive to have installed for them and wanted to do it for themselves)
I have an old Endeavor in my basement and an Avalon 1190 insert in my fireplace. Travis Industries makes amazing stoves. I used to be a small dealer. Never had any problems with them ! Even their pellet stoves require less repairs than others. Thank you for your great products !!
This was an excellent video. Wished it had been available in 2006 when I bought my Lopi Endeaver. But I did figure most things out with it. I no longer have the house with my stove but if I ever get another wood stove, it will definitely be a Lopi.
We are so excited. The local dealer is coming to our home tomorrow to install our Lopi Endeavor. Warm at last! Thanks for taking the time to make such a quality product. It's especially good that you are environmentally conscious also. Great job. Thanks for the information.
Yeah David, 6 years later how is it?? What are you too good for us old Lopi Endeavor owners or the poor people who can't even afford one in the first place! Give us an answer David, give us an Answer!
@@bayside6207 6 years later - it's AWESOME! It's blazing at this exact moment out in the living room, keeping the entire large living area a toasty 74 to 80 degrees warm, depending how much wood we feed it. We have had not one issue; well, a bit of paint has scraped off the front tray below the window. Other than that, it just works. We have a magnetic temperature gauge attached to the top of the main burning chamber. We tend to operate the stove at the high or hot end of the spectrum. The installer said this is good to do, as it keeps the chimney cleaner with less carbon and soot build up. What's amazing is how generally cool (except for the top) the area is around the unit. The back of the stove is only 6 inches from a painted wall. However the wall has suffered no bubbling or blistering paint over the six years of use. It was a great investment. It's nice when the house is 80 degrees inside when outside it's 32 degrees. Glad we had it put in.
I worked for a Lopi dealer in northern Minnesota years ago, and I have to say, I have yet to see a better stove. We had a Liberty in our showroom and it put off a massive amount of heat. I am getting ready to build a new cabin in northern Wisconsin and the only heat source is going to be my Lopi and several ceiling fans. I will probably buy an Endeavor, but it will most likely be too much stove for the space. I don't mind. I'll just adjust the air flow. With good wood and the the fans I won't have a problem heating 1,500 sq. ft. with the stove. Most problems are user errors; no ash in the box, ceiling fans pushing down instead of pulling up, damp wood, bad install. Reading through the comments below pretty much confirms this. I have not had any ties to Lopi in almost 20 years, but they are still the best damn steel stove you can buy.
Great video. Just bought a house with this in it. Had the rest figured out but didn't know what way to set the exhaust damper. I love the stove, woke up this morning to a strong coal bed after a rushed fire last night.
This is the best video I have ever benefitted from. Thank you very much Kip. You did a fantastic job and I have learned a lot. Now I understand my Lopi wood stove completely! Thanks again.

Hi, I know you are a salesperson for lopi wood stoves but the house I just bought has a fairly new wood stove installed in the living room. My last home had a lopi and I loved it! I have been using wood stoves for 30 years. This woodstove has a fan installed on the back of it has the tubes air tubes in the top of it a damper in the stove pipe and an air control in the bottom. Our home is 936 square feet single-level the living room is pretty much closed off with the kitchen through a small doorway, down the hall at the other end of the hall are the two bedrooms. My 92 year old mother is in one bedroom I am in the other one. The heat from the wood stove does not reach down the hallway into the bedrooms so I try to keep the woodstove going from morning till evening, letting the fire die off and then the furnace runs at night while we're sleeping. However my problem is when the furnace comes on at about 9 at night and the heat blows out of the baseboards, smoke comes out of the wood stove around the door and out of the upper damper and the lower air damper. Some help to solve this would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Really nice video. I just moved into a house that has a wood stove. Not sure what brand but this video helped me understand how to operate it. Thank you.
I’m on my 3rd Lopo. 2 inserts and one free standing in 3 different houses. Wouldn’t have anything else. It’s the first thing I buy when I move into a new house. I save a ton of money in gas bills.
I watched a few videos about this stove by this man. I went to a dealer today, confident that I was going to buy the Lopi 1750i or the Revere. (I even had the installer lined up.) Unfortunately, the look and feel of the stove was extremely disappointing. Moreover, the door did not appear to be as solidly built as it is said to be in this review. It is now a two-piece door, which may not have been the case when these video's were produced. It had up-and-down play to it and rattled when I jostled it, and the glass did not visually appear to fit evenly with the door frame. Thanks a lot. The owner of the store was honest and admitted that this was not an exception or a bad stove, and Lopi appeared to be cutting corners to keep up with competitors in the steel stove market. One apparent positive another dealer gave me that accrued to the different door design did not convince me: the gasket is easier to replace. The ease of a gasket replacement does not make up for a weaker door that to a non-specialist appeared rather flimsy. There's more. Of all the stoves I have closed lately, the Lopi 1750i or Revere have the least positive lock. Again, this is a subjective and tactile observation, so don't take my word for it: go and see for yourself and compare. I am not saying the door does not seal or anything like that. What I am saying is the word "quality" does not dance in front of you when you actually lock the door. All the research I did lost its persuasive force when "customer met product." I thought my journey to find a wood insert that fit my rather small fireplace, one which had a decent-sized fire box (2.2 cubic feet), had ended. It started again at what seemed to be the finish line. Shucks.
This outstanding presentation- very informative! I interested in ripping out my prefab fireplace then opening up / converting the void to an alcove with wood stove. How tall is the alcove in your demonstration?
I just bought one (evergreen) and it puts out a lot of heat but there are some minor drawbacks: 1) The ash collection system is clumsy and cumbersome and I eventually just went back to scooping out the ashes manually with a metal bucket and fireplace shovel. 2) The fan that comes with it (optional) really broadcasts the heat nut is NOISEY as hell, especially on the higher settings. But the baffle system really gets the heat moving and the bypass lever allows you to load the stove in a smoke-free fashion. That being said, it's a quality stove made of sturdy, plate steel (no brittle cast iron parts) that is well finished and allows it to also be used as a cooktop, which I took advantage of during this last Winter from hell that knocked out our power for two weeks. Another big plus: no catalytic converter is required for the unit, which is an expensive component that periodically needs replacement. Should you buy one? I'd give it a solid four and a half stars from being a consumer who has used wood stoves for over 40 years....
Great, informative video - excellent in all respects. However, I am having a very difficult time finding a dealer and/or a price list for the various wood stoves manufactured by Lopi. Please advise.
I just moved into a house with a Lopi Stove. Coming into the winter, I'm trying to learn this heating system. I've never used one before. I think mine is pretty old. I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts. Mine doesn't have all the features this one in the video does either
This was a well-presented introduction. I felt as if I needed just a Lopi and nothing else! Does your boss know about your talent or are you already the owner? Thank you for this informative presentation.
One thing about burning dry wood in stead of damp wood is that the water in wood will turn to steam and carry your heat out the chimney and also cool the smoke and cause your chimney to plug up with creasote faster, so if you want the most heat out of your stove use dry seasoned wood.
I sure love our Republic 1250. Say, do you recommend an outdoor air kit? My house is tight as a frogs butt, but I have heard that an outdoor kit can introduce moisture and therefore rust into the stove.
You need what is called “MAGIC HEAT”-it hooks a few feet above the stove into the stove pipe. It catches heat that usually goes out the stove pipe and outside and is waisted heat. It has a built in fan and throws a lot of the heat back into the room. It does require 110v hook up.
@ Hippie Lewis The old, old stoves from way back when had poor heat extraction compared with the new modern design. The efficiency of the new generation of wood stoves prevents excessive heat loss up the flue, rendering the “Magic Heat” device useless. In fact, it would be a bad mistake to install one of them on a new stove.
Do you recommend doing a direct vent for incoming combustion air? I have a Lopi Liberty stove with the pedestal, and can cut a notch thru the hearth, and bring air right under the stove if it's best practice to do so.Should I do this?
Question. Does it make a big difference if you have an 8 inch chimney flue and use a 6 inch stove pipe ? Should you go 8 inch to 8 inch if you have a 6 inch stove exit ? Thanks.
I have tried to reach Lopi because the screw fell out of my damper handle. No one up here claims to work with Lopi. I finally had to drill-out the handle. Now I need a new handle and the screw that goes with it.
Two years ago I posted the entry below, and two years later no one has posted not one more comment?Weird. Anyway, my Lopi firebrick did not last the life of the stove. I have a Lopi Liberty stove, and the brick anre shalling away, and cracking. Is it supposed to last the life of the stove? It was recommended to me by my chimney sweep to replace most of them, and I'm disappointed about this.
The new NexGen 2020 models are a sad excuse for this kind of proven quality. Sadly they are not as robust anymore as cost cutting has plagued the baffle system and door rivets to name two changes out of MANY.
In November 2011 I purchased the Republic Lopi 1750 wood stove that was recommended by the local stove dealer.. It is the worst wood stove I have owned. Others were a Nashua and a Jotul No. 8. This stove does not adequately heat my 950 square foot home. The draft control is poor. When opening the door to reload wood, smoke almost always enters the room with the flue damper open and the air flow open to max. this should not happen. I always burn well seasoned hardwood. My chimney is new and cleaned annually. It requires constant monitoring to keep an even temperature and will not burn overnight. I have been totally disappointed with the performance and can't wait for this heating season to be over so I can buy another stove that works! I've kept it this long because of the over $1900.00 purchase price. I wish I did more research before making the purchase.
Sounds to me like you definitely have a "draft problem" If your flue clear as it should be, then i suggest you have the dealer address the problem. I'm guessing there is something "drastically wrong" with the stove itself. Something INTERNAL?? With damper and draft control open there should be "no smoke" backing up into the room. It does sound like a stove problem to me. I just looked it up Heats homes "1200 to 2000 square feet". Baloney My home is 984 sq ft. Newer stove You absolutely "Need a blower to push the heat" My stove brochure said the same damn thing...heats up to 2000 sq ft Nope. I doubt that buying a new stove will solve your problem. You need to find out ( for sure ) what the problem is. Stove or poor chimney draft? Good luck
I'm in the market to purchase and install a woodburning stove. Lopi was one of the stoves I was interested in until I found out from a person who has a Lopi in her cabin, that Lopi does not come with a guarantee from the company it's self but you must attempt to obtain a guarantee from the installer it there is an issue with the stove. The person who informed of has an issue with a defective seal around the glass and the intaller has broken the promise of fixing the issue. No thanks.
At time 4:20, you DON'T want cool air at the bottom of the floor to be sucked into the stove. That stove is bringing cool and warm air into it, but it's causing its own drafts by sucking air from say under the exterior doors of the house, from around your windows, from the electrical outlets, cracks from ceiling lights, from air ducts of your furnace, etc. You're best to bring in outside cool air direct vent to the stove, and that's where the stove can fuel the fire. Otherwise the stove will draw upon all the imperfections of the house, and continually cause a large draft situation. At the same time you have heat from the stove, you'll also have drafts coming into the house. I should've never listened to a LOPI 'Salesman" when I bought my stove. I like my stove, but he didn't think I needed the outside air kit. That fresh air inlet is everything to having an efficient operating stove. Don't listen to this salesman. He doesn't really have your best interests in mind. He's trying to undersell the product. Shame shame.
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
You have to call a store to get pricing. If you pop on their website there should be a dealer locator you can put your zip code in and all your local dealers will pop up.

Not at all. Just get a decent stove and all is well. The steel is NOT "paper thin" This is my #3 stove over many many years, the one i have now i about 10 years old "Avalon Rainier" If you need to really worry, then don't buy CAST IRON They can crack if overheated. "Buy a blower"
I used a Liberty for years in northern Minnesota for years and never once had a problem. We ran ours hard every day and never had a single problem. Lopi's don't warp like cheap stoves from home improvement stores.
Great instructional video. Regarding the oxygen that the stove uses as fuel, can you comment on whether that is sourced from the house air or an external source? Yours seems to be burning the house's air. What about bringing air in from outside?
If I remember correctly, Lopi wood stoves typically use less than 100 CFM when you are burning. Compare that to a traditional fireplace with a spark screen that can use over 1,000 CFM. Lopi used to make what is called an outside air boot for bringing combustion air in from the outside. In northern Minnesota this was required for a mobile house install. Not sure if it is still available. In a traditional house I don't think it is necessary. Even a Lopi Liberty will consume a lot less air than your clothes dryer.
He says it will burn 8 to 10 hours. NOT!! We have a new stove and have been using it for one year. It will NOT burn all night. Someone feeds it at bedtime at 10p then again at 2am then again at 5am and again at 8am and this is regardless of which wood we use,, soft or hard.. If we do not feed the stove the house gets very very cold and we worry about freezing the pipes.
Very FEW of the stoves will "burn all night" ( if any ) Notice they all say ""up to 8 yours" or up TO 10 hours. It's the UP TO we don't pay attention to.. WHY is it so cold in the house? Bad windows and doors? I would be concerned. I always try to buy the best hardwood for heating........red or white oak hickory black birch cherry The better ( more dense ) woods will give a longer burn.
What’s the difference? Honest question. I have only a wood stove for heat in my home nothing else but it’s a traditional standing wood stove (not plumbed for outside fresh air)
Very good presentation. Thank you very much!
Lopi is awesome! OMG, I love the designs and the ruggedness of it too. Best of all, the beauty and long lasting. YES..... NO ONE is paying me or do I work for Lopi!
Our Lopi Model 400 PS IS 30 YEARS OLD and still heats our 2000sqft raised ranch home.

I must admit your wood stoves are well built! I have owned many stoves over the years your doors are the best.
Makes me want to get a Lopi! Looks like some smart design features for a basic wood stove. I really like it.

LOPI Endeavor, best Stove ever made! 👊😎
We have had ours for 28 years. 1993 we installed it and it looks brand new yet!
Awesome video. I got a lot of information from it. The best video I've seen on youtube. Thanks!
11:20 ...some of the best fire starter is birch bark. Use it all the time in my Lopi stove. Works like a charm and it's free!

Some help to solve this would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Really nice video. I just moved into a house that has a wood stove. Not sure what brand but this video helped me understand how to operate it. Thank you.
I’m on my 3rd Lopo. 2 inserts and one free standing in 3 different houses. Wouldn’t have anything else. It’s the first thing I buy when I move into a new house. I save a ton of money in gas bills.
Would ave liked to see te secondary tubes but certainly te best most informative video on tis subject ! Tank you, sir !
I watched a few videos about this stove by this man. I went to a dealer today, confident that I was going to buy the Lopi 1750i or the Revere. (I even had the installer lined up.) Unfortunately, the look and feel of the stove was extremely disappointing. Moreover, the door did not appear to be as solidly built as it is said to be in this review. It is now a two-piece door, which may not have been the case when these video's were produced. It had up-and-down play to it and rattled when I jostled it, and the glass did not visually appear to fit evenly with the door frame. Thanks a lot. The owner of the store was honest and admitted that this was not an exception or a bad stove, and Lopi appeared to be cutting corners to keep up with competitors in the steel stove market. One apparent positive another dealer gave me that accrued to the different door design did not convince me: the gasket is easier to replace. The ease of a gasket replacement does not make up for a weaker door that to a non-specialist appeared rather flimsy. There's more. Of all the stoves I have closed lately, the Lopi 1750i or Revere have the least positive lock. Again, this is a subjective and tactile observation, so don't take my word for it: go and see for yourself and compare. I am not saying the door does not seal or anything like that. What I am saying is the word "quality" does not dance in front of you when you actually lock the door. All the research I did lost its persuasive force when "customer met product." I thought my journey to find a wood insert that fit my rather small fireplace, one which had a decent-sized fire box (2.2 cubic feet), had ended. It started again at what seemed to be the finish line. Shucks.
I respect your opinion but can you summarize just a little. What is the MAIN problem.
Looks like a very high quality stove. And an excellent informative video!
Amazing video, learned so much, thanks.
This outstanding presentation- very informative! I interested in ripping out my prefab fireplace then opening up / converting the void to an alcove with wood stove. How tall is the alcove in your demonstration?
I just bought one (evergreen) and it puts out a lot of heat but there are some minor drawbacks: 1) The ash collection system is clumsy and cumbersome and I eventually just went back to scooping out the ashes manually with a metal bucket and fireplace shovel. 2) The fan that comes with it (optional) really broadcasts the heat nut is NOISEY as hell, especially on the higher settings. But the baffle system really gets the heat moving and the bypass lever allows you to load the stove in a smoke-free fashion. That being said, it's a quality stove made of sturdy, plate steel (no brittle cast iron parts) that is well finished and allows it to also be used as a cooktop, which I took advantage of during this last Winter from hell that knocked out our power for two weeks. Another big plus: no catalytic converter is required for the unit, which is an expensive component that periodically needs replacement. Should you buy one? I'd give it a solid four and a half stars from being a consumer who has used wood stoves for over 40 years....
I have a liberty. Love it.
Great, informative video - excellent in all respects. However, I am having a very difficult time finding a dealer and/or a price list for the various wood stoves manufactured by Lopi. Please advise.
Best sales man on UA-cam
That's w really good wood stove
I just moved into a house with a Lopi Stove. Coming into the winter, I'm trying to learn this heating system. I've never used one before. I think mine is pretty old. I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts. Mine doesn't have all the features this one in the video does either
This was a well-presented introduction. I felt as if I needed just a Lopi and nothing else! Does your boss know about your talent or are you already the owner?
Thank you for this informative presentation.
The best part about secodary air is that the flame looks like magic :)
Great video planning right now.
Can you please advise how to get the blower started a bit quicker? Sometimes it takes a long time - thanks.
Nice Dietz Lantern on the shelf......
One thing about burning dry wood in stead of damp wood is that the water in wood will turn to steam and carry your heat out the chimney and also cool the smoke and cause your chimney to plug up with creasote faster, so if you want the most heat out of your stove use dry seasoned wood.
Too bad Lopi dealers near me suck. If I could buy one of your stoves directly, I would’ve already.
very good detailed video thank you
I sure love our Republic 1250. Say, do you recommend an outdoor air kit? My house is tight as a frogs butt, but I have heard that an outdoor kit can introduce moisture and therefore rust into the stove.
I have the same question?? Guess no answer??
You need what is called “MAGIC HEAT”-it hooks a few feet above the stove into the stove pipe. It catches heat that usually goes out the stove pipe and outside and is waisted heat. It has a built in fan and throws a lot of the heat back into the room. It does require 110v hook up.
@ Hippie Lewis The old, old stoves from way back when had poor heat extraction compared with the new modern design. The efficiency of the new generation of wood stoves prevents excessive heat loss up the flue, rendering the “Magic Heat” device useless. In fact, it would be a bad mistake to install one of them on a new stove.
I'd said give and take. If you want to clean, sure install the “MAGIC HEAT”. Other than that, Lopi is very well thought-out and very efficient.
Excellent stoves!!... 10/10!!.
Kip, Sam Sullivan here. Still at it I see!
With step up venting will the first flat top get hot enough to cook on?
Do you recommend doing a direct vent for incoming combustion air? I have a Lopi Liberty stove with the pedestal, and can cut a notch thru the hearth, and bring air right under the stove if it's best practice to do so.Should I do this?
Question. Does it make a big difference if you have an 8 inch chimney flue and use a 6 inch stove pipe ? Should you go 8 inch to 8 inch if you have a 6 inch stove exit ? Thanks.
Best video...thanks...
Do they make them so a Back boiler can be connected to them
if you have central air you can always turn on the fan only mode and circulate the warm air through the house.
I have tried to reach Lopi because the screw fell out of my damper handle. No one up here claims to work with Lopi.
I finally had to drill-out the handle. Now I need a new handle and the screw that goes with it.
YES, you can easily do it by yourself, congrats!
With my Lopi, pressing the air control in is full open and pulling it out chokes it down. Is something wrong or is my model just older?
That's how they are made.
Two years ago I posted the entry below, and two years later no one has posted not one more comment?Weird. Anyway, my Lopi firebrick did not last the life of the stove. I have a Lopi Liberty stove, and the brick anre shalling away, and cracking. Is it supposed to last the life of the stove? It was recommended to me by my chimney sweep to replace most of them, and I'm disappointed about this.
Regarding that insulating blanket material that falls apart.....it does. My Lopi Spirit gas stove has that stuff and it's disintegrating.
We have a Lopi, Avalon...I think.
Doesn’t the movement of cool air into the stove cause a draft? Wouldn’t it be better to bring that cold air from the outside instead?
Always good to have outside air coming in. You will be surprised what a 2 inch fresh air pipe can do to your stove and your heating.
I've had this stove for 4 or 5 years. It's a nice stove but the fire box is to small especially for all night burns.
Excellent information on the technical points, however a little long.
The new NexGen 2020 models are a sad excuse for this kind of proven quality. Sadly they are not as robust anymore as cost cutting has plagued the baffle system and door rivets to name two changes out of MANY.
How much does it cost.
In November 2011 I purchased the Republic Lopi 1750 wood stove that was recommended by the local stove dealer.. It is the worst wood stove I have owned. Others were a Nashua and a Jotul No. 8. This stove does not adequately heat my 950 square foot home. The draft control is poor. When opening the door to reload wood, smoke almost always enters the room with the flue damper open and the air flow open to max. this should not happen. I always burn well seasoned hardwood. My chimney is new and cleaned annually. It requires constant monitoring to keep an even temperature and will not burn overnight. I have been totally disappointed with the performance and can't wait for this heating season to be over so I can buy another stove that works! I've kept it this long because of the over $1900.00 purchase price. I wish I did more research before making the purchase.
Sounds to me like you definitely have a "draft problem" If your flue clear as it should be, then i suggest you have the dealer address the problem. I'm guessing there is something "drastically wrong" with the stove itself. Something INTERNAL?? With damper and draft control open there should be "no smoke" backing up into the room. It does sound like a stove problem to me. I just looked it up Heats homes "1200 to 2000 square feet". Baloney My home is 984 sq ft. Newer stove You absolutely "Need a blower to push the heat" My stove brochure said the same damn thing...heats up to 2000 sq ft Nope. I doubt that buying a new stove will solve your problem. You need to find out ( for sure ) what the problem is. Stove or poor chimney draft? Good luck
I'm in the market to purchase and install a woodburning stove. Lopi was one of the stoves I was interested in until I found out from a person who has a Lopi in her cabin, that Lopi does not come with a guarantee from the company it's self but you must attempt to obtain a guarantee from the installer it there is an issue with the stove. The person who informed of has an issue with a defective seal around the glass and the intaller has broken the promise of fixing the issue. No thanks.
At time 4:20, you DON'T want cool air at the bottom of the floor to be sucked into the stove. That stove is bringing cool and warm air into it, but it's causing its own drafts by sucking air from say under the exterior doors of the house, from around your windows, from the electrical outlets, cracks from ceiling lights, from air ducts of your furnace, etc. You're best to bring in outside cool air direct vent to the stove, and that's where the stove can fuel the fire. Otherwise the stove will draw upon all the imperfections of the house, and continually cause a large draft situation. At the same time you have heat from the stove, you'll also have drafts coming into the house. I should've never listened to a LOPI 'Salesman" when I bought my stove. I like my stove, but he didn't think I needed the outside air kit. That fresh air inlet is everything to having an efficient operating stove. Don't listen to this salesman. He doesn't really have your best interests in mind. He's trying to undersell the product. Shame shame.
Firestarters are a petro chemical product . Better to use newspaper and wood kindling .
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
Thanks! I forgot how to do this lol
Cooled ruled steal from my understanding is mild steal. Hot or cooled roleing is just the methid of forming it.
Which Lopi Stove do ye regard as best..Endeavor..Cape Cod or Rockport ?
Still Waiting for Reply
Why is it impossible to find any kind of pricing on this stove anywhere?
You have to call a store to get pricing. If you pop on their website there should be a dealer locator you can put your zip code in and all your local dealers will pop up.
Lopi is the worst stove we ever bought. Good luck getting a warranty recognized.
Where does the steel come from? And where is the ore mined?

Do you shut the bypass completely off when burning?
looks like you must otherwise you loose your second burning
Yes

Do you service Chimneys ?
It is better to draw cold air from outside otherwise you cool the room ?

I am worried that this metal type of a wood stove will warp after some time. Any info out there?
Not at all. Just get a decent stove and all is well. The steel is NOT "paper thin" This is my #3 stove over many many years, the one i have now i about 10 years old "Avalon Rainier" If you need to really worry, then don't buy CAST IRON They can crack if overheated. "Buy a blower"
I used a Liberty for years in northern Minnesota for years and never once had a problem. We ran ours hard every day and never had a single problem. Lopi's don't warp like cheap stoves from home improvement stores.
VERY GOOD
how much is this stove costs,i live in southren ontario,canada,where is there a place in ontario where i can buy this stove,henry here
Great instructional video. Regarding the oxygen that the stove uses as fuel, can you comment on whether that is sourced from the house air or an external source? Yours seems to be burning the house's air. What about bringing air in from outside?
If I remember correctly, Lopi wood stoves typically use less than 100 CFM when you are burning. Compare that to a traditional fireplace with a spark screen that can use over 1,000 CFM. Lopi used to make what is called an outside air boot for bringing combustion air in from the outside. In northern Minnesota this was required for a mobile house install. Not sure if it is still available. In a traditional house I don't think it is necessary. Even a Lopi Liberty will consume a lot less air than your clothes dryer.
I got a quadrafire 4300st. I really wish i would have saw this stove first. I have no where near the amount of air control that stove has.
What is the price for this stove?
We paid $4,500 for the stove and installation, including piping. New home construction with chimney. The piping flows up the chimney.
how long dose the stainless still last
I am loving this stove but i have been looking at the Vermont wood stoves. I just can't make my mind up. HELP!!!!!
DON'T
Mukilteo WA = SOLD!!! Got any stores near Tacoma?
Why does a metal box cost $3000?
He says it will burn 8 to 10 hours. NOT!! We have a new stove and have been using it for one year. It will NOT burn all night. Someone feeds it at bedtime at 10p then again at 2am then again at 5am and again at 8am and this is regardless of which wood we use,, soft or hard.. If we do not feed the stove the house gets very very cold and we worry about freezing the pipes.
Very FEW of the stoves will "burn all night" ( if any ) Notice they all say ""up to 8 yours" or up TO 10 hours. It's the UP TO we don't pay attention to.. WHY is it so cold in the house? Bad windows and doors? I would be concerned. I always try to buy the best hardwood for heating........red or white oak hickory black birch cherry The better ( more dense ) woods will give a longer burn.
I have the lopi liberty and I'm seeing up to 14 hours of one load.
I'm burning a mixture of unseasoned and seasoned oak
electric parts ?
a good stove should get air from outside the house
What’s the difference? Honest question. I have only a wood stove for heat in my home nothing else but it’s a traditional standing wood stove (not plumbed for outside fresh air)
