The Pioneer pellet stove is possibly the most beautiful Lopi stove ever made. Its compact size and elegant form fits any room in your home. The Pioneer’s powerful two-stage heat transfer system and 8 convection air tubes will heat up to 1,600 square feet with quiet efficiency and exceptional comfort. A state-of-the –art ignition system allows you to manually start the Pioneer at the touch of a button. You can automate stove operations by adding an optional wall thermostat or remote control thermostat; just set it to the desired temperature, then relax and let your stove go to work.The entire top of the Pioneer opens for easy access to and enormous 55-pound hopper. That’s enough pellet fuel for up to 50 hours of uninterrupted heating.
