Where/how does the optional blower attach to this sucker? There is a 4" round hole in the back that I believe is for the intake. It looks as though I would need to make a sheet metal manifold to go from my fan to the space across the back of the stove between the actual stove body and the back panel that sits a couple inches away from it. Does that description make sense? :)

I didn't see anything pictured in the manual or bruchures on the website. Can someone describe or post a picture of how their blower is mounted? I am not opposed to buying the manifold, but I already have a blower ready to go. I'll make something if I have to but would rather not in this case.
Thanks!

Do you already have the blower ? Ordering on ? Fabing one up ?
 
When I first looked at the stove I thought the 4" round hole in the back was for the blower so I was given a 4" round blower at work with a power supply to go with it. I picked up a switch and resistor so I can have two speeds too. It wasn't until I took a closer look at the stove that I realized that hole was for air intake. I would still like to use my set up but will need to duct it to the wide narrow space up the back of the stove. I will take another look around at work to see if we have anything with an outlet shaped more like what I need. I as also thinking that Home Depot might have an adapter to go from 4" round to a long rectangular opening, like a floor register.
 
Food for thought .................

I bought a double blower and put it on the floor of my hearth under the back of the stove and it works great and there was no need to mount it to the stove. I normally run mine on around 25% just to rool the heat off the stove for the ceiling fan to grab and it also helps pull cool air to the back of the stove.
