i recently moved into a 1000sf house that came with a worn out mobile home woodstove installed.
My last place had a Lopi Endeavor that served me well for 10 years.
I wanted to get something with a little bit bigger firebox this time but ended up with another Endeavor because I didn't want to overheat my tiny house.
These things are pricey!
My last stove was a 1993 model, there is nothing different about this new stove.
No changes in over 20 years! I thought that was odd.

What's the point of this post?
There isn't one, other than I am excited to get my new stove installed and fired up. I've got to move my wood pile from the old place to the new and I'll be set.
C'mon Old Man, bring it on!

It’s a solid heater. Good choice. There’s no reason for them to change the design since it works so well!
 
Didn't they change from steel tubes to stainless tubes along the way?

Got it installed and fired up today.

It looks great and just in time for this cold weather. Wondering though if those shelves are combustible or stone. They seem a bit close to the stove pipe, but it might just be the camera angle.
 
Oh geez.

Begreen-I just knew you would have something to say about either the shelves or the crap laying in front of the stove.
You need to get out more often.

Heftiger- thanks for the compliment.

On a positive note, the sensor for the fan and also the location and mounting system of the rheostat are much better than my last Endeavor. I’m pleased with it all.

Figured the stuff in front was temporary, the shelves not. Combustibles closer than 18" to single wall are a risk not worth taking.

Well, that is a valid point about the shelving. No need to be harsh...
