Hey All,
Another burning season has begun and this is my 4th year with the stove(Enviro Milan Insert). Every year I've had the stove the "running of the stove" seems to get louder and louder, It seems I can hear the blowers and the fans more this year than ever. I do all the maintenance required but I was wondering if there is anything I can try to get the noise level back down to the way it sounded the day I bought it? This may just be the nature of the beast though.

Blower or fan motor could be giving up. If it's all cleaned good than you may want to check into how much those new parts cost. They don't last forever and eventually stop working.
 
Have you taken out the room fan and cleaned off the fan fins? Dust bunnies taking up residence can cause an imbalance = more noise
I have to take off my car wheels a couple times a year to dislodge the built up dirt. We live on a gravel road.
 
Yes, I've cleaned out the fan fins and everything else.... could just be age of the fan and blower.. could just be my age too...... maybe my old ears are getting more sensitive to sound :)

I'm ganna try leveling out the stove. I was thinking last night maybe after cleaning it last year the stove legs need to be adjusted. Thanks for the tips.
