How do you like your Lopi so far?

How do you like your Lopi so far?

Overall, I am quite pleased with my new Lopi Endeavor. However, since wood burning is new to me and since this is my first wood stove, I have nothing else to compare it too. With that said, what I like most about it is the bypass damper and the super close clearances it allows. The bypass damper basically eliminates and smoke being able to back puff into the house. As for clearances, the 4.25" rear clearance to a combustible wall was crucial since we were tight on space. Other features I like include the nice size firebox (can load east to west or north to south with 18"x18"), only needs ember pad protection (used a 2 mm Morso powder coasted black steal hearth pad), and the secondary combustion works wonderfully (especially at 500 F and above). Do you have plans to get a new stove?

Not quite, I can't afford a new insert. I am hoping to get a lopi freedom insert off of CL, but never even get a chance to view them. The seem to hold their value well and people seem to buy them the second they get posted. Also looking forward to the bypass damper. Thanks for sharing your experience. How long did it take to install?

The stove shop where I bought the stove also did the install. I also needed the flue and chimney installed as I did not have a stove before. I think the stove and chimney were installed in 4.5 hrs.
