Lopi: The Best Wood Stoves on the Market

Wood Burning Stoves: The Pinnacle of Performance

Regarding wood-burning stoves, Lopi is the premier brand renowned for its exceptional performance and quality. No other wood stove compares to Lopi’s craftsmanship, engineered by skilled professionals. Lopi stoves feature unibody construction, ensuring unmatched durability and longevity. With doors secured by cold-rolled steel and welded for structural integrity, along with heavy-gauge steel construction, Lopi stoves deliver robust and reliable heating for your home.

Exceptional Features of Lopi Stoves

Heavy-Duty Flue Collar: Lopi stoves come equipped with a six-inch, seamless, heavy-duty steel flue collar, built with kiln-fired refractory firebrick—the same material used in commercial boilers—ensuring lasting heat retention.

Precision Air Control: The single air control system allows for precise regulation of primary and secondary air, enabling effective fine-tuning of your heating needs.

Why Choose Wood Heating?

Lopi wood stoves are EPA-certified and emit significantly less smoke than older models. Burning wood contributes no more carbon dioxide to the environment than if the wood were left to decay naturally. With rising utility costs, Lopi’s radiant and convective wood stoves provide even, penetrating heat that efficiently warms your home.

NexGen Hybrid Technology

NexGen-Hybrid™ technology combines the clean-burning efficiency of a non-catalytic stove with the greater heat output of a catalytic stove. This advanced system operates like a clean, non-catalytic stove while burning less wood to generate higher heat output than a catalytic stove. The result? Lower emissions, higher efficiencies, and longer burn times.

Performance: EPA Cord Wood Tested

Most manufacturers test using the old crib wood standard, which may yield impressive lab results but needs to reflect real-world performance. Testing with cordwood provides accurate measurements that can be replicated in your home.

Wide BTU Range

The BTU heating range of a wood-burning appliance is a crucial indicator of its performance. A more comprehensive BTU range allows for better control and faster heating. Lopi stoves feature broader BTU ranges than any other wood stove brand, meeting all your heating needs.

Understanding Efficiency Numbers

Efficiency is calculated using HHV (High Heating Value) and LHV (Low Heating Value). The EPA requires all wood-burning appliances to have their efficiency measured and listed.

  • The LHV number often appears higher because it assumes 0% moisture content in the wood, which is unrealistic.
  • The HHV efficiency number reflects the energy transferred into your home, accounting for seasoned cordwood’s typical moisture content (19%- 24%).
