T6 blower ordered

I put one on two years ago. It was easy and it helps a lot.

One thing that I was not thrilled with is the thermal sensor just pushes up against the stove back. Air blows by it, the thermal connection is tenuous, and it can rattle. Maybe someone has fixed this.

You may not have to pull the stove out.

Two screws and and three prong plug within 6'. 10 mins if you can get to back of the stove. As Bill noted, the thermal sensor must be properly placed, just read the directions. Also when the stove cools, the fan will cycle on and off until it completely cools. And don't be alarmed it takes a while to get that bottom rear corner of the stove warm enough from a cold start to trigger the sensor on.

The blower makes the world of difference in BTU output as well as controlling temperature during the shoulder season when you are building smaller fires.

Before moving the stove, give it a shot, if you have an extra pair of hands, you should be able to get the two phillips screws in. the holes are predrilled in the stove and blower.

I also made that "mistake" when I bought my S27 without a blower. Added one this season. Can't say I feel a difference but any air circulation created is better than none at all. As per everyone else, literally 2 screws. I used a screwdriver with a 90* bend 1" from the tip. Allowed me to get in to a tight space and not mess around moving the stove. Also as noted, the thermostat takes a long time to kick off the blower. Sometimes 30-40 minutes. Be patient.

Shouldn't be an issue, stove never really cools down till about July.

Reloads on a small bed of coals, will sometimes cause the back to cool off enough that the fan will cycle until fully up to temp.
