Ah...okay. That makes sense. I was thinking I needed more air. When I first started using it I got very modest amount of clinkers and now I'm getting a lot.
Since this is my first pellet stove it's difficult for me to recognize the difference although the squirrel cage appears to be filled with ash rather than soot.
So you get out the dust and tiny pieces? I'm pretty lucky to have a pellet operation just 10 miles away so the there isn't too much handling damage.
About the same for me except the lumber yard has them. They load a one ton pallet on my truck for $200. Then a twelve pack and a few neighbors to unload.
This is the one I was going to buy. Looks like it is sold now, but with the numbers I think I can find another one.
Thanks for the link. Good read. And my blower is fairly noisy as well. After I cleaned it, I tried to get some light oil into the bearings but it didn't seem to help. Think I'll just order the eBay model and see if it fits. It's the paddle fan so it should make life much easier. You guys are a great help. What the heck did we do before all these forums were started?
It will fit. I checked into that one and a couple of the links on eBay have measuments, and it seems to measure the same exact. If you have any issues, just get back on here and let me know, I will try my best to help.
Actually, the housing I used was for a breckwell, so it was the same exact housing. I just like to build stuff if I get the chance, and this was a good opportunity for me to fiddle around!
The one I got from earth sense off eBay (pellet head.com) the speed does vary between pellet feed rates 1-4, but they are a reputable seller. I can't speak of the one he's looking at, but the motor is the same besides the name brand. May be best to ask the seller though, and hope they give you a straight answer.
I don't believe the speed varies on my combustion fan. It does on the convection fan. There is an air flow adjustment in the intake to control the air flow.
