Lopi Republic 1250
I have only had this stove a few months. First thing i want to say is this little stove will absolutely do an 8 hour burn. And that is without going out of the way to stack the box full.
I have gotten burn times of 12 hours with this stove with the firebox only being 50% full and the damper turned down low. A bed of coals and a single 6" doug fir limb as a stoker.
If I start with a cold stove and load it full without stoking it i get 7-10 hours.
For those that are not getting long burn times it is not the stove it is the wood. Your moisture content is probably to low or the wood is not dense enough.
I am only burning fir maple and cedar so I could probably get even longer burn times with harder woods.
