Getting ready

[oppirs]

Just wanted to say Hi! Got a Lopi Liberty + just bought a Russo #2 for $120 . 7 cords ready for this winter. Last winter was lame.



Got a pix of 2010 snows.

Welcome and congratulations. The Lopi Liberty is a serious heater. You should be nice and warm this winter.

Welcome to the forum oppirs. Sounds like you got an excellent buy on that one. May it serve you well. However, did you really have to remind us of the coming snow and cold?!

Some stuff came up on a Google search for "russo #2 wood/coal stove."

That's why I put this stove here! For a bit of help! What stuff? GOOD OR BAD?

Most I've seen is good by way of goggle, is it old by 1980 standards? If you have more INFO please add,,,,, Please add any or all info to my thread about Russo or Lopi Liberty's.

I really find it so helpful so may others!

From what I've gathtered, Russo makes good stoves. For coal operation and info go to the forums on www.nepacrossroads.com. There are good folks there that can tell you all you want to know about burning coal in this stove.

begreen... I did start a thread there too, asking about coal. I'm new to Bit or Ant, Bit cheaper by the ton.

Have used coal in the past and didn't even know how it worked but it did. Back to wood for the past 10 years. I only used coal in Ky for one winter.
My Lopi will always remain my first stove for heat... It has never failed
