Just picked up a used HearthStone Sterling 8521 B-Vent (Direct Vent) and would like to add a Blower.

The manual (page 16) shows part number 95-57010 which is a 170 CFM blower priced around $300, approx 20" long (there are two slots on ether side of the bottom of the stove about 6-7" long with a blower on each):

Saw a similar style blower here, but only 12.8" long:

Is there anywhere to get it at a better price, or possible aftermarket that would work?

Was possibly considering two smaller blowers (one on each side).

Thanks in advance for any help/assistance.
 
First of all, your Sterling is EITHER a B-vent or a Direct Vent, not both.
B-vent units use air from your home for combustion & are natural draft appliances.
DV units take combustion air from outside the building envelope.
Secondly, the Regency blower is very similar to the Hearthstone unit,
& Regency sells them for $350+.
If you can fabricate a bracket to mount it & make it work, give it a shot.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
