    We love our Lopi freedom. It requires that the wood be dry in order to operate correctly. Allow some ash to build up in the bottom of your new unit and you will get longer burn times.

    I'm thinking about building a small wood kiln

    Have you considered getting a small, steel shipping container? Cut in a few air vents, paint it black, place a fan inside and set it in full sun. Such a set up would dry firewood quite well. David
