Lopi Liberty Picture

After starting the fire with some kindling and small splits of Cherry then adding some bigger Cherry splits it's taking off.

Wow! I have fire envy. And Lopi envy. Somebody near here is selling a liberty for a good price, but unfortunately I am waiting on an insert. That's a beautiful flame!

Mike, it's nice to hear another manufacturer say such a thing. Too often it's easier to trash a competitor's product rather than acknowledge it, so kudos to you for recognizing quality when you see it! Clearly Travis and England's both make a great product. It's nice when two quality manufacturers can admire one another's products and say "good job". Capitalism at one of its finer moments, I believe.

I burned wood with a Lopi Patroit for probably ten years. I pretty much heated my wholehouse with that baby. I picked it up used from an ad in the paper for 300 bucks. It was like brand new at the time, so it was a steal no matter what. Just sold it through Craigs List for 400 bucks, and the people were overjoyed to get it. Could kick myself for not asking for alot more money. The guy actually tried to get me to come down on price because the ad said "or best offer", the American way I guess? I told him I had 3 other people coming to look at it today. He pulled out 4 new 100 dollar bills instantly. Tears.... I actually hated to see it go :long:

A Pellet stove is my new baby

Another Liberty burning. Over a good bed of coals from softwoods, I loaded in 5 splits from my precious stash of Oak & Madrone, nearly (but not exactly) N-S. Trying a few things out before our real cold weather comes in Jan/Feb. We're very happy with this stove...I just wish it was an inch or so deeper. Ah well, you can't have everything...where would you put it? %-P Rick

Fossil I'm cutting my hardwood for next heating season 15 inches so I can load n/s for some longer overnight burns.

Yeah, man...looking to the future I think I may do some of the same. Most of my wood's at ~16", and it'll almost fit N-S. Actually, 16" does fit (except right on the floor where the doghouse is), but that puts the ends of the splits too damn close to the window for my liking. When I find a few "shorties" no prob, I can stuff 'em in N-S. Loading just a little bit catawampus works pretty good. We'll see how it goes. In any case, I'm happy with the Liberty, it's a great heater for our house. Burn on, zap. Rick

I'm making a cutting rack so I can cut some of this years wood to 15 inches, when I get it together I'll put a picture up


Zap.

Now that I have my Lopi I have had to force that Englander I bought ought of my head. If I didn't have a flush hearth, it would have been perfect (and I still think it might have worked fine flat on the floor just like the Lopi that cost 5 times what that (used) Englander cost) Wish they made a little bigger insert in their current line. love the new Lopi but you could tell Englander makes a great product and their customer service really just can't be beat.
