Picked up a new (to me) Lopi Pioneer

[goathead]

I've been looking for a small stove for my sunroom to run occasionally during the winter and hadn't really seen any good deals come up. I took a trip up to my usual Quad dealer to grab a ton of pellets and was talking to them about possibly getting a Sante Fe. Well, come to find out they deal some used stoves now as well so I saw this beauty and the price was right so...she found room for the ride home. Can't wait to hopefully get her installed next weekend and start enjoying the room longer!

I think I have one of those. It is a Lopi.

So far, so good with mine also. I can't keep the glass clean, but I used it for heat.

I had a lopi pioneer I loved it. was a little to small for my house and I fell into a great deal on a bigger one. You will like it .

Thanks, I'll get some pics up next week when I install. It's still wrapped up right now, but I was pretty impressed with the way the dealer prepped it. Replaced all the gaskets, new convection blower, exhaust blower, and I believe repainted. Looks great and is very clean. Can't wait to get it fired up.

Holy $#it Goathead!! A Castile, Classic Bay, and a Pioneer! ! Talk about some BTU's..

Although I have 3 stoves too I highly suggest everyone run at least 2 stoves. 3 is better. And 4 is Awesome

Hello

I rebuilt a 1997 Lopi Pioneer Bay for a friend and installed a new control panel. The stove works like new and looks better than brand new!

LOL, hey I'm cold blooded. I could sit in the lower level at 85 degrees with sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I will say, when I added the second stove I did reduce my pellet use by about 25% though and eliminated my use of electric all together which was awesome considering using electric in New England is just this side of heating with dollar bills. I had one month a few years back where the stove was down and almost stroked out when I got my electric bill. Froze my butt off and cost over two tons of pellets for the month

Hello

Do you think this will help the Lopi burn better on Low?

Thanks
