    Lopi fireplace insert -wood or gas???

    We just moved into an older home with what I think is a Lopi fireplace insert. I don't know anything about them. I "think" it's gas since it had a dial and plug but really have no idea. I went to the Lopi website to see if I could find a user manual but no luck there. Can anyone help me out...

    Lopi Liberty 2020 issues

When the fire cooled and I had a chance to inspect it, it looked like some of the paint/coating has been burned off the air...

    Jotul vs Lopi vs Valor vs ??

    We are looking to replace our old wood-burning stove (it came with the house we bought last year) with a new gas stove. But, admittedly, we are flying blind in this search. Shopping for a gas stove seems unlike any other purchase process I can recall. I can’t find reviews, have to go through...

    1992 Lopi Answer

    We are considering purchasing a Lopi Answer built in 1992 for our 400sqft yurt and are wondering if anyone has any advice about this stove. It has blowers, but there's no electricity in the yurt, so we would operate the stove without the blowers. Thanks!

    We connected the Honeywell WiFi thermostat with a VIIVRIA 24 V transformer, C wire adapter, to our Lopi AGP pellet stove. The thermostat will work to keep the stove on until it reaches the set temp, and will put the stove in cool down and off, but the stove won’t turn back on when temps drop...

    Lopi Yankee Bay insert thermostat

    I saw a posting for the Lopi Pioneer Bay that said an off the shelf thermostat could be used. Is this true for the Yankee Bay as well? I don't see how that would be connected, as there are just the 2 connections for wires on the stove. How does one connect a commercial thermostat to the...

    The blower on my Lopi Berkshire stove (part #99000153) is not working properly. It turns of for a couple minutes at a time and then shuts off for ~ 5 minutes before coming back on again for a couple of minutes. It used to just keep blowing until we turned it off. Any help is appreciated.
