Best Wood Stoves
2014
Which wood stove is best?
Of all the stoves we evaluated, the Lopi Endeavor stands head and shoulders above the rest for its durability, low emissions and thoughtful features. It produces up to 72,400 BTU and can heat up to 2,000 square feet. But even more important are it’s heavy plate-steel construction, a square firebox that loads easily and accommodates logs up to 18 inches long, and a bypass damper for preventing smoke backup and rekindling the fire. The Lopi Endeavor even comes with an optional auto-start, an unusual find in a wood stove. Just place kindling in the stove and push the button, and igniters and bellows will start the fire and fan it for you. You can also purchase a blower to help move the heat around. Owners say that as long as you properly bank the fire, this stove has no problem producing steady heat all night long. The Endeavor uses secondary combustion for a clean burn and is EPA-certified, with an emissions rate of 1.9 grams per hour -- one of the lowest we’ve seen. It is also approved for use in mobile homes and alcoves, and can be placed quite close to walls if you use the appropriate heat protectors and venting. Overall, many satisfied owners say it’s the perfect combination of easy-to-use, powerful wood heat. With the proper use and care, the Lopi Endeavor will easily last well more than a decade; Lopi also has a good track record for parts availability, even on its older stoves.
