    Why doesn't the blower on my Lopi 1250 run?
    • C
      Christopher LewisJul 31, 2025
      The blower on your Lopi Wood stove is designed to activate once the stove reaches a certain temperature, typically after 15 to 30 minutes of operation. If it's still not running, check your household breaker or fuse to ensure it's working correctly, as a disruption in electricity supply could be the cause.

      Lisa NelsonAug 6, 2025
      If smoke enters the room while reloading your Lopi Wood stove, open the air control before opening the door. This helps to manage the draft. If the issue persists, it may be due to insufficient draft. Consider adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap to improve ventilation.

    Why doesn't my Lopi Wood stove burn hot enough?

      Heather ConnerAug 12, 2025
      If your Lopi Wood stove isn't burning hot enough, the wood might be wet. Ensure you're using properly seasoned wood. Also, check that the air control is fully open to provide maximum airflow. Insufficient draft can also cause this issue; adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

    How to stop smoke from entering the room during Lopi 1250 Wood stove start-up?

      Jennifer HopkinsAug 19, 2025
      If smoke enters the room during the start-up of your Lopi Wood stove, start by opening the air control to increase airflow. If that doesn't solve the problem, it could be due to a cold air blockage; try burning a piece of newspaper in the stove to establish a draft. If the flame isn't getting enough air, even a small crack in the door might be needed to improve the draft.

    What to do if kindling does not start in Lopi 1250?

      If the kindling in your Lopi Wood stove does not start and the fire smolders, first, open the air control to provide more air. If that's not enough, add more newspaper to help ignite the kindling. If the flame still struggles, a small crack in the door might be needed to ensure sufficient airflow.
