The Avalon and Lopi AGP Pellet Stove

Travis Industries' AGP pellet stove (burns All Grades of wood Pellet) have moved towards the Harman concept with this freestanding replacement for the Avalon Newport and the Lopi Yankee Bay.

This stove has a bottom feed auger that allows new fuel to push ash out of the burn platform. Called a platform, not a pot because it's flat to allow ash to fall into the ash pan.

Producing 41,000 btu./hr, and designed to heat up to 2,000 sq.ft. The AGP pellet stove has frequently vulnerable parts including the fireback and burn platform made from stainless steel. The door is cast iron

The continually turning bottom auger has fuel metered to it by a horizontal rotating drum at the base of the hopper. The exhaust vent is at the center of the rear of the stove, making corner installation neater.

The Avalon Newport Bay and Lopi Yankee Bay inserts are still available.
