Hello from Granite City, IL

Greetings all! My wife and I just bought a home with 2 wood burning stoves I found the manual the Lopi but I don't know what brand the other one is. It's encased in a fireplace and I can't get to the back. If I can post a picture of it hopefully someone here knows. HELP!! ☺️

Welcome to the site! The Lopi is a solid stove. Start getting your wood stacked and dried out and you will be happier with woodburning sooner rather than later.

My questions are mostly about the age of the two stoves and whether they are pre-EPA (around 1990) If they are pretty old, you will want to have them inspected anyway which may involve removing the mystery stove.

The other thing is how they are installed and what kind of flues they have. Stainless steel liner and chimney, etc. Have you had the flues inspected and cleaned? The one in the picture looks pretty sketchy to me, but I'm not an expert. Hopefully, more expert advice will come by. But I sure would have it all inspected by a certified sweep if not already.
