Hello

Just got off the phone with a good Enviro Dealer Technical expert.

He said the Enviros use the SAE 841 Oil Impregnated Bras bushing on the Auger.

He also said the Bushing Plate gernerally lasts forever.

But when the brass bushing fails it turns with the auger!

So if you can reach in and turn the bushing with your hand, the bushing is bad and needs replacement!

This is the Brass Bushing Test and could apply to other stoves!
