Hey guys,
This might sound crazy but I really, really like the Lopi Leyden, I have visited the local Lopi store and I am impressed.
Here are my concerns
Top loading, I like this feature but I just worried about smoke coming out ( I have 19 feet of pipe so it should not be a problem, just wanted to see).
The actually size of wood that people put in it for a nice overnight burn (I can put huge splits in my Avalon Olympic but I am cutting most of my wood no more than 18 inches)
How's the heat? My house is around 1900 sq ft, but I have an insert to in the house so this stove will not have to heat the house by itself if need be
How long of a burn can you get, it says 12, I would be happy with 8-10.
Anymore advice would be great
I know again this sounds crazy to trade in my Avalon Olympic (that I have only had for 1 year) for a Lopi Leyen but last year I wanted the Lopi but thought it would not be good enough for larger splits. The local store said they would trade mine in and give me a deal (they sell Lopi and Avalon). I think the Lopi sells for around 2,400 and my Olympic with blower ash pan, and gold door sells for around 3,300 so I should be OK with the trade in. Hopefully I won't have to pay that much for the trade, I plan on getting the blower too (another 275 dollars)
Thanks for the help Lopi Leyden owners....
