Will this draft inducer work for the Jorgensen Wood Gasifier?

Ok, I duct taped my shop vac motor to the top of the chimney and used my homade manometer to take some measurements at the base of the stack..

Fan on, primary and secondary inlets blocked off: 0.9" wc

Fan on, primary air inlet open: Not measurable

Fan on, secondary air inlet opem: 0.1" wc

So it appears that the unit flows quite well. I'll use these measurements to select a fan......

go, man, go!

ok, ordered this fan from Grainger: 1TDT3 http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/productIndex.shtml?from=Search&newSrch=yes&operator=keywordSearch&search_type=keyword&action=Go!&QueryString=1tdt3&submit;.x=0&submit;.y=0

We'll see how it works out.

That looks big enough from the specs. Do you have to run 220vac to it? I guess with a boiler your btu size maybe you need that much power.

Running 220 to it will be a snap as I have it ran into my control panel already anyhow.....

I decided to go big because I don't know what kind of SP the stove will have once full of wood and the fan curve on grainger's site ends at .8 wc......
