Just got the Avalon Arbor (same makers of Lopi Leyden)installed. I had heard some mention of low temp burns prior to really burning on the threads but there is no mention of it in the manual. Anyone know if I need the low temp burns?
Burn in?

I have the same stove. While I do not remember if the break-in burns were required by the manfacturer, (I thought they were). It can not hurt to do it. Remember you also need to cure the paint on any new piping associated with the install. I do remember that there were smells associated with curing paint. It must have been the stove as I was reusing existing flue pipe. Why not go ahead and do it in case. Wait a couple of hours between small and growing fires until you can fire it up completely in the evening. I think that I did two break in fires.
Hope this helps.

Jack, a couple small fires never hurt. For one thing, it will help get the crap off the stove pipe. Maybe a 300 degree stove top followed by a 400 degree and you should be good.
