My wife and I are interested in installing a Lopi wood burning insert
in our house (The Revere). We live in a bungalow, about 1700 square
feet. Would it be prudent or even necessary to buy the blower
attachment? Does it heat the house that much better or more
efficiently than just using the radiant heat natural to the unit,
especially considering the fire will be burning all the time? Also, I
have heard that there are dry air issues that come with radiant heat.
Any suggestions? I appreciate any advice you can give me.

I had a Lopi insert, and I was never happy with it.
Could not burn more than 24hrs without shutting down or the burnpot would
get clogged.
I bought a Avalon freestanding that I can burn for 3-4 days without
cleaning. I removed the lopi and vented the new stove in front of the
fireplace. More heat now, and less work. The Lopi sits in my basement.

What Lopi insert did you have?
