Lopi Leyden Combustor

[Jim P]

I have owned and have been running my Leyden since 2008. After a bit of a learning curve, I have (mostly) enjoyed this stove. I am in the process of replacing the combustor pack and found the replacement one is 4-1/2” deep, the original one that I just removed is 4-1/4” deep. The new one does not allow the firebox back to rest in the correct position. Has anyone experienced or heard of this? The interior of the stove box is clean and nothing warped or out of square. I made sure that the new combustor is pushed all the way back into its correct position. I put the original back in and it fits perfectly.
I called Travis Ind. today, spoke to a tech. He asked me to call back on Monday after he has a chance to talk to another tech about this.
I am hoping that someone here can offer some help/advice.
Thank you.

I didn’t get much help from Travis Ind. on the fitment of the combustion pack for my Lopi Leyden. After comparing my existing pack to the replacement, I could see how the corners of the existing one were rounded. I used an emery board to remove a very small amount of material from the corners of the replacement combustion pack and after many “ test fits” it now fits perfectly.
