My stove is a LOPI M-520, about 1983 vintage, which has earned its keep through several Michigan Winters. The slightly modified current production version of this stove is called the Liberty. Being rated at 74,300 B.T.U., it does a good job of heating the house (around 2,000 sq. feet).

MIne is a Lopi Revere. 72,400 BTUs / hour, 70.4% efficient. I think I get more out of it burning seasoned hickory. I know cutting, splitting, and stacking the hickory keeps me warm. :)

I'm impressed with this stove but disappointed with the poor quality paint. I babied it to cure the paint but it still rubs off easily. the paint was the only thing not covered in the warranty...hmmmm...

It's simple to operate and accomodates around 24" peices left to right. I'd be even more happy if i could get those 24's straight in! All in all, it does it's job, it's efficient, and simple and forgiving enough to let my wife start a fire from time to time.

Long Manufacturing, Inc. Was here when we bought the house. I was very skeptical at first, but it does okay down to about 25 F. We can keep the basement very hot, the 1st floor 70 and the upstairs is about 55 F. 2600 sq. ft. not including the basement. Chilly 2nd floor but great for sleeping. When the outside temp. is 28 F or above, we can keep the first floor 73 F.

Old Fisher - came with the house. Out of business some time ago. Can't find any info on it. Probably way down there on efficiency, but built like a tank. The two cast iron doors come off easily, and there's a screen that can pop in.


Works for us, though. Our only source of heat other than a few portable electrics that I hate to use, and one functional baseboard heater. Used only if somebody is sick and needs it warmer.

Yes Fisher was a tough built stove would last forever

I am having a Pacific Energy Pacific (wanted to get the Summit but wouldn't fit) installed on the 16th. I really can't wait and I will post some pics when it is in and going. Should be pretty good and efficient stove.

Doesn't eat wood, heats great, choker down at night and still has enough to get started by herself in the morning.

Liked it enough that we took it with us on the last three moves to different houses. Right now it's heating 3488 sqft just fine.

If this one ever dies we will be getting another one.

This is my first year with a wood stove, and so far so good! I bought a Pacific Energy "Pacific", which is their mid-sized insert. I'm pretty new to the burning scene, and am AMAZED at how much wood I'm going through. Based on what I've burned so far this year, I imagine I'll need 3 or 4 full cords of wood next year.

Lots of wood, by MAN it's nice heat. :blob2:
