We bought a lopi agp pellet insert a year ago, December for our fireplace which was very small.. The lopi agp advertises holding 40-70 lbs of wood pellets. We have been in an extended cold stretch and our hopper only holds about 25 lbs of wood pellets and when on maximum heat, only lasts for about 5.5 hours. We have to get up in the middle of the night to reload the hopper and plan around it in our daily working lives. Any suggestions on what to do or can we have a hopper extender installed? Thank-you for your help and suggestions.
