    What to do if my Lopi Wood stove does not burn hot enough?
    • C
      Charles HenryAug 17, 2025
      If your Lopi Wood stove does not burn hot enough, ensure the air control is fully open by sliding it back and forth to ensure it's not stuck. Also, make sure that you are using dry wood. Insufficient draft may also cause this issue, so adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

    Why won't the blower run on my Lopi Answer?
    • C
      Cindy MartinAug 20, 2025
      The blower on your Lopi Wood stove may not run because the stove is not yet up to temperature; it will typically activate after 15 to 30 minutes. If the stove is hot and the blower still isn't running, check your household breaker or fuse to ensure it is working.

    What to do if smoke enters the room while reloading my Lopi Answer?
    • T
      Thomas BellAug 22, 2025
      If smoke enters the room while reloading your Lopi Wood stove, first open the air control before opening the door. Allow the air to stabilize before fully opening the door. Open the door approximately 1 inch, letting air into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to flow up the chimney consistently, you can fully open the door. Insufficient draft due to chimney height or outside conditions can also cause this; adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

    How to stop smoke from entering the room during start-up of my Lopi Answer?

      Kristy WhiteAug 26, 2025
      To stop smoke from entering the room during the start-up of your Lopi Wood stove, open the air control. If there is a cold air blockage, burn a piece of newspaper to establish a draft. If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in the door is all that is needed.

    What to do if my Lopi Answer does not burn long enough?

      David OrtizAug 27, 2025
      If your Lopi Wood stove does not burn long enough, make sure the doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox. Also, check the ash bed for coals; often, coals are still glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

    • K
      Kelly SmithAug 30, 2025
      If your Lopi Wood stove blower isn't running, it might be normal if the stove hasn't reached temperature yet; the blower typically starts after 15 to 30 minutes. Otherwise, check your household breaker or fuse to ensure electricity is reaching the blower.

      If your kindling does not start and the fire smolders in your Lopi Wood stove, open the air control. If you don't have enough starter paper, use additional newspaper if necessary. If the flame is not getting enough air, try leaving a small crack in the door to provide more air.

      cmooreSep 5, 2025
      If your Lopi Wood stove doesn't burn long enough, ensure the doors are sealing properly to prevent air from entering the firebox; see the "Door and Glass Inspection" section on page 35 for details. Also, check the ash bed for coals, as they might be glowing under a layer of flyash; raking them into a pile can help restart the stove.
