    Aftermarket Blower for T5?

    I need to add a blower to my Pacific Energy Alderlea T5. The price of the OEM blower is outrageous. Has anyone successfully installed an aftermarket blower on either this or a similar stove? If so, where did you source it? Thanks a ton.

    1983 CDW FA264CCL - Domestic issues. I need a quieter fan

    I have a Dutchwest FA264 ccl. It was purchased by the original owner in 1983 and was used for about 10 years. Not very much I might add. I bought it in 2008 and It was in very good condition. I did a lot of reconditioning to it and put it into production. I burn about 1.5 cord per year. The...

    Should I install a blower?

    Hello, When we purchased this house it had a wood burning inset installed in the den but it doesn't have a blower. There is a nice gap underneath where a blower could be installed, but I don't want to do anything that might burn down my house. There is a metal plate on the inside upper right...

    Lopi Revere Blower Question

    I’m new to wood burning and we are loving our new Lopi Revere and the blower (~15 fires so far). I’ve read many people say the blower on low is “near silent,” but mine is quite loud. There isn’t a rattle or any other sound to indicate the fan is broken, it just sounds like a really loud fan...

    St. Croix Auburn convection fan

    The bearings went out of my fan last night, there are no dealers near me anymore, and online everything is $200 or more. Is there a cheaper option, or where can I get a bearing kit and how difficult is it to replace the bearings? Thanks in advance

    Problems with Fireplace Xtraordinaire

    I have a new home into which the local dealer installed a 36 Elite (woodburning) Fireplace Xtraordinair. I've had this unit in a previous home with NO problems. (BTW, I'm at about the 4000-ft elevation.) The 1st issue was smoke infiltration...the installer came out & discovered a secondary...

    Hello! We purchased a home this past August that had a Quadra-Fire Santa Fe pellet stove installed. They left us the manual and cleaning tools, which we have done bi-weekly and as needed.

    Dead blower on older insert

    Hi -- made the move to a country home 12 months ago and became a lurker on this forum. Love the outdoors: chopping wood, etc., but less skilled in DIY. My first post. Our wood-stove insert seems very old, but it passed the home inspection and worked well. But a few days ago the fan stopped...

    Noisy pellet stove

    Just bought a new house that came with a Thelin Parlour 3000 in the living room and a Timberwolf TPS35 in the family room. The 3000 looks beautiful, but makes so much noise, we don't use it. The Timberwolf is much quieter and we use it all day long. I suspect (based on other things around the...

    I just got my gas fireplace going in a new home and would like to install a blower, but because there is a hearth in front and the fireplace rests slightly lower than floor level, I don't have enough clearance to install the blower. It's a direct vent Lennox propane fireplace and I have about 2...

    Regency Blower noisy

    Hi guys; I have two Regency 2400. One has never given me any problems ever. The second has the noisiest blower on it I've heard. I had the motor replaced twice. I even located the manufacturer of the turbine fans as they looked lopsided and maybe caused flutter. The stove upstairs has the...
