I am thinking about purchasing a manufactured home, but installing a wood stove is a must for me. I'm glad you did a video on it.
😊Hi Purepraire!
Good luck with your home purchase! Thanks for checking out the video!🚜🇺🇸🌲
Very helpful video, thank you. We are shopping for a wood stove and it was great to see this one in action.
😊Hi Jane!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!🪵🇺🇸🚜
I installed the same stove without the fan or green start. I like to light it myself so it feels like camping. The first half dozen or so fires sure stink up the place, but after it's cured it's really nice.
👍😊 Hi Joe! Excellent! I hear you about going old school, but I wanted my bride to be able to get it done when necessary. Good to hear to like yours. Thanks for checking out the video!!🚜🇺🇸🍺🌲
Never knew they even had any kind of auto start feature for wood stoves. I again learned that the stove has to be rated for a manufactured home, so learned that from your video.
😅👍Hi Steven!
Definitely recommend the green start feature. It is awesome, an almost effortless way to start the fire. Thanks for checking out the video! Take care!🚜🇺🇸🌲
Nice. Amazing the things we have now to make our lives easier.
🔥👍 thanks buddy! Yes! Very much so! Love it! Take care friend!🚜🇺🇸🍺
That is one fancy ass stove!!! I wish I had a wood stove!
😊😎 You can come play with mine anytime. 🇺🇸💙🍺
Thanks so much,
Greetings from a Daoist Monastery in Snohomish! 🌲🌲🌲
😊Hi There!
Thanks for checking out the video!🚜🇺🇸 🌲
Nice Video. After having the stove this winter, how do you like it still? Does it really burn wood up to 20.5 inches long? Does the glass stay clean? How is the door latch and seal? Is it easy to clean out with the ash pan? Do you think the other box / ash pan would be better to have? Thanks for the video. Big purchase it helps to see videos like this.
😊 Hi Robert,
Thanks for commenting and checking out the video. I would say you could probably burn 20”, it is going to get tight in a hurry cuz the door is smaller than the box. We use 16”.The glass gets dirty. Factors are the moisture in the wood and how close the flame is to the glass. No issues with the door or seal. Very easy to clean, although the ash box can easily overflow and make a mess. We use vinegar and ash to clean the glass, generally works well. Hope that helps!🍺🚜🇺🇸
Gorgeous quilt! ❤
😊👍 Hi Tina! Thanks for checking out the video!!🇺🇸🍺😎
the greenstart is attractive feature im tired of having smoke come out even after warming flue plus in my morning rush to get out door it would expedite lighting up
😊Hi David,
Yes! We actually love the green start. There’s a slight learning curve, but it is definitely handy. I would definitely recommend it. I think my only complaint would be the obnoxiousness noise it makes for the 15 minutes. Thanks for checking out the video!🚜🇺🇸🍺
I love my Evergreen! The blower is able to heat the whole house bottom and top in split level 1330sq ft home keeping the house 76° on a cold night 48°.
😊 Hi Nikia,
That’s awesome! We love ours as well. Thanks for checking out the video!🌲🇺🇸🚜
did you purchased the blower separately?
@@jonathancruz4198 i bought it as a package.
@@jonathancruz4198 Hi There!
No, we purchased the entire package from the store we purchased it from. Thanks for the view!🔥🚜🇺🇸
Just ordered my Lopi with the start system
😊👍 Hi J Clark! Awesome! We are so looking forward to firing ours up this winter. Congratulations! Thanks for checking out the video!!🍺🚜🇺🇸🌲
Came to this video from rewatching your home review.
Excellent! I appreciate the view! Cheers!👍👊
Hello to my fellow Lopi owner. I have the same stove but mine is a full size fireplace insert and it sits out about 5 inches from the faceplate. My old insert lasted well over 30 years and only cost a fraction of what this Lopi cost me at just over $6600 which included the stove, custom built faceplate, blower, connections, new chimney liner, new chimney cap and labor. It's an insert verses your free standing stove but has the same specs as yours does. I did not get the green start system. It's mid October 2022 and I'm about to use it for the first time fairly soon but as I also have a real nice pellet stove I can wait till it's colder here in Northern Michigan. I was wondering though as to the issue of first start. I was told that the stove can have a metallic smell at first while the metal is heated for the first few times. Is this something that you dealt with. Thanks for your informative video and don't worry I have some of those socks as well.
😊 Hi Kagnewmp! Thanks for checking out the video. 👊🙌 We experienced a little bit of paint smell the first couple burns. My wife loves to have a fire with windows or doors open, so it really wasn’t an issue. The green start does have a learning curve. I figured out to cut some 2”x2” size starter wood, about 8” long and pile it up about 1-2” away from the igniter. I also tried putting firewood under the pile or on top, both ways seem to work. My wife is a city girl and loves being able to start her own fire. I hope that helps! Nothing like wood heat. I have two pellet stoves in the shop, still love the wood heat, it’s the best. Take care and stay warm!!!🍺🚜🇺🇸🌲
Beautiful. 🤘😎🤘
😎👊 Right on! See?! It’s cool! Right?! Thanks for checking it out! See you on the next one!!🤠🚜🌲
Thanks for the video! Did the hearth pad come with it or did you have to buy that separately?
👍😊 Hi Marian, we had to buy the hearth. Thanks for checking out the video, I appreciate it!🇺🇸🍺
Thanks for the reply! Did the hearth pad cost also qualify for the rebate as part of the installation? The irs forms don’t have detail, just say “installation.” Hope you’re still enjoying your stove!
Hi Mike, this is a nice one 🤩 I didn‘t know a automatic lighter for wood stoves. We have a wood stove for cooking and heating in the winter
🔥 🥘 I love it
Have fun! 🌲 🪵 🚜 🍻😄
Christian
👍😎 Hi Christian! Thank you! Yes! We are very happy with it so far! My wife is getting a lot of practice with it!😂🔥We plan to use it to supplement our electric heat and to use when the power goes out. We have lots of wood on the property. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting! Take care buddy!🚜👩🌾🍺
@@tractorrookie This is a good idea 👍Supplement to the electric heat, because of the rising energy prices 🤓
I am just planning to install a central wood heating system in my house. I will send you some pictures of the system, when the projekt is finished. 🧑🔧 🪵 🔥🤩
Take care and have fun with your projects 😊🍻
Christian
Oh cool! Sounds good buddy!👍🔥🍺🚜
Hey Mike, awesome stove! Love the igniter. Enjoyed the video.
👍😎Hi J Boykin! I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting! Take care! 🇺🇸🚜🔥
Thanks for the video! I'm considering the Evergreen as a fireplace insert. Would you mind sharing how much you paid for it? I was quoted $8600 (without the GreenStart) with installation and am wondering if that is a fair price.
Hi Rocklob,
That sounds about right! I think we were around 10k all in. We added the blower and the Greenstart. We almost went with the smaller stove, but it did not have the tax break. I think the install with pipe etc was about 3k of the 10. Thanks for checking out the video!🚜🇺🇸🍺
@@tractorrookie Thanks for the info!
Nice vid but I will stick with cardboard and kindling for the lopi 1250, I modified it with a slider opening for the smoke to make a straight shot through the pipe when starting which really helped. Lopi is top notch :)
😊👍Hi jumpinjack! Roger that! If it was just me… I would have went the simple route, but having a city slicker bride I had to bend to the pressure. I appreciate you checking out the video and commenting!!! 🔥 🌲🚜🇺🇸
Fun fact. If that is a catalytic stove, which im pretty sure it is, then that wasn't smoke. That was just water vapor. Cats convert carbon and hydrogen compounds from the wood to just CO2 and H20. You will see the white whisp when it's cold outside and the moisture condenses. That's where the efficiency comes in to play buring nearly 100% of the smoke and wood. You should be left with very little creosote in the chimney other than light weight fluffy brown ash. If the cat is not working properly or often engaged it before it was warmed up and not active then end of season you will find crunchy creosote in the chimney. The steam is oddly just as satisfying as watching the fire.
😅Wow! Okay! Thanks for the lesson. I appreciate the information and the view!🚜🇺🇸🌲
@tractorrookie lol sorry for nerding out on ya. Just wanted to share because it's satisfying how the stoves work and wanted to assure people that its working properly. Ive seen people comment on forums and see that wisp on their own stoves and think that their stove is smoking and not working properly.
I have a regency HI500 that is a catalytic hybrid stove, and it's cool seeing it steam on cold days while running. Mine isn't as cool as yours though. I wish mine had a self start feature so I could leave the door shut on not get smoke in the house on cold starts.
How dirty does your glass get?
@@CK-dt6nx 😅😜 No Worries! I am always happy to learn something new. With regard to the glass, I would say we have good days and bad days. It seems that the glass gets more smoky/ dirty when the we use certain wood, perhaps it’s the moisture content. Most days it will clean with a paper towel and glass cleaner, other days it’s vinegar and stove ash. Happy thanksgiving!🦃 🚜🇺🇸
@tractorrookie that's one thing I'm fighting and haven't figured it out yet. Some say a hot day fire burns it off but I didn't see a difference. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Well at least you can still light it conventionally In case of powerless which I thought that's why people have wood stoves no power needed just cutting wood, cure it, burn it.
Hi Kip! Very true! Definitely wanted it for the heat and back up heat. The ease of use is a positive for my wife to want to mess with it and build her own fire!😊 Thanks for checking it out! Take care!🇺🇸🍺🚜
Hi Mike, how hot does the top get? With the convection features, does it still radiate a nice amount of heat you can feel?
😊 Hi MudaholicJr, it takes a while for it to heat up, but once the fire is going good, the top is nice and hot . Definitely more stove than we needed for our place, but we wanted the tax credit 😂😎 Lopi claims you can cook on it during power outage etc. hope it doesn’t come to that. Thanks for checking out the video!🚜🇺🇸🍺
What starts the flame is it gas?
Hi Robin, It’s an electric igniter. So kinda like a pellet stove igniter, just blows super hot air for 30 seconds and catches the wood on fire. Obviously, when the power is out, we will doing it the old fashion way! 🔥 😊 Thanks for checking out the video!!!🚜🇺🇸🍺
Even when the starter is off, it seems really noisy???
It’s the longest 15 minutes ever! Thanks for checking out the video.🍺🚜🇺🇸
Nice video.
😊👍🌲Hi Carolina Firewood! Thanks a bunch! I appreciate you checking out the video! 🚜🇺🇸🍺

"If you order beer and get a coke instead"
Perhaps changing the title would fix this for the first 5 min 🤓
Hi @lostmoose9994
I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so, in other words, you lost me. Maybe you are saying the title doesn’t fit the video content. A more specific critic would be helpful! Either way, thanks for checking out the video! Cheers!🇺🇸🚜
Well, instead of a stove vid, its a splitter vid, at least for 6 minutes.
@@lostmoose9994 ahhhh! I see! Okay, you don’t like the intro. Sometimes if the intro is too long for me, I just skip ahead. I think you were the first to complain out of the 12k views. Thanks for the feedback!
Has insurance been difficult with this installation?
😎Hi There!!! No, but we were required to get a stove specifically designed for manufactured homes. Thanks for checking out the video!!🚜🇺🇸🍺
I would have placed a log on the splitter to split those small chunks and reduced that travel time on that ram, ram travels 3 feet to split 4 inch blocks LMFAO.
😊👍 Hey Tentfever! You laughing your ass off can’t be a bad thing. I get accused of doing things the hard way quite often. I guess that is one of the benefits of being retired. I can do my wood therapy the hard way and enjoy it and entertain guys like you at the same time. Thanks for checking it out and commenting! Merry Christmas 🎄🇺🇸🚜🍺
Hey Mike, i like your video. Here's perhaps a better way to set up your fire for easier burn loads. Hope you can use the idea. It's a long full burn video but you can see the set up in the very beginning. Have a great day. ua-cam.com/video/e5CCOSCjnyM/v-deo.html
😊 Hi There!
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the video and commenting. Excellent! I’ll checkout the video. Thanks for the tip!🇺🇸🍺🚜
