Hello

I picked up a 1997 Lopi Pioneer Bay FS pellet stove with mostly all original parts.
Since it was working, I decided to install the Travis damper upgrade kit!

Has anyone done that?

To set the original damper you must open the right side door.
This upgrade allows the damper to be adjusted without the right door open and the fire going.L
