    Pacific Energy Super LE insert - Dead blower

    I have an almost 2 year old Pacific Energy Super LE insert. Last night I noticed the right blower was not working. I called the installer and they said it is still under warranty and they will file the claim and come out and fix it. I am wondering if anyone else has had a blower fail. I...

    American harvest 6039

    I just bought a used American harvest 6039 pellet stove from an online market. I took it home cleaned and installed it and it ran great but I had an issue with the stir pot catching. So I fixed that issue and when I was sure it was clean and running great I went and got some wood pellets. I put...

    Wood Furnace inline duct

    Hello, I’m hoping to find an inline duct fan for my wood stove that doesn’t require electricity. I know they make thermo fans that you put on top of your wood stove to circulate the heat that does not require electricity. Has anyone used that technology to make an inline duct fan that’s...

    In search of quiet, low speed fan

    I own a lot of fans. Box fans, desk fans, ceiling fans, pedestal fans. I use them in the summer. I try to use them in the winter too, to distribute heat from the stoves. Unfortunately every fan I've bought in the last five years is too powerful and too loud even on low, for this purpose. I had...

    Locating replacement fan for 1980s Superior/Heatform

    Hello everyone, My condo was built in 1989 and the fireplace uses a Heatform-type air circulator. One of the fans doesn’t work, and I’d like to go ahead and replace both. My problem is that the standard “universal” fans that I’m finding have 4” blades and four 4.25” OC bolt holes. My fan...

    Fireplace Insert Fan Stopped Working

    I'm a newbie and this is my first winter with my Napoleon Epic Oakdale wood-burning fireplace insert. The fan to circulate the air has stopped working.

    Whitfield Advantage iii fans bog down

    I have 1991 Advantage iii that always ran well. Replaced the combustion fan a few years back and new room blower replacement. Both have been cleaned and oiled. When turning on the stove without the auger on and increasing the room blower it bogs down and almost stops. Cycles like this until...

    Getting Heat to the Master Bedroom

    I have a family room and kitchen area that gets too warm. Then I have what I can best describe as a L shaped hallway at the end of which is the master bedroom. I've done a decent amount of reading on the site and the wall fans won't work. The convection idea was interesting. I'm wondering if...

    Jamestown J1000 Combustion fan fix

    Our house came with a Circa 1994 Jamestown pellet stove. This little stove is priceless and performs as needed for our 1500 sq ft house. About 2 weeks ago, the combustion fan started making a terrible noise. In my forum investigating, I found 2 things 1. Jamestown does not carry or has very...

    Has anyone installed a blower fan for a Martin SA36 fireplace?

    Has anyone installed a blower fan for a Martin SA36 fireplace or able to direct me to someone that could assist? We purchased a house several months ago with gas furnace on second floor. The air duct system is unable to heat the first floor well. A blower on the fireplace could be helpful.

    Ecofan Airmax spinning irregularly

    I purchased an ecofan a few months ago used. It ran fine for about 2 months, but over the last few weeks it has been inconsistent. Sometimes stove temps are 300-400 degrees and it is literally stopped. Other times at those same stove top temps it is spinning normally. Is this the motor going out...

    Harman stove temp vs. room-temp mode & convection fan run time--

    Regency i2400 vs Enviro Venice 1700

    Hello, I have my two wood insert choices narrowed down two: The Regency i2400 and the Enviro Venice 1700. I really like most everything on the Enviro better, with one major exception: the fan/blower placement. On the Enviro Venice, I like the looks, the efficiency, and the larger viewing...

    Hi I live in earthquake country and as a result, removed our masonry chimney. The chimney had cracks when we moved in so we had installed a Lopi Patriot and a stainless steel liner through the chimney. We will now have an alcove where the fireplace was and will reuse the Patriot with double wall...

    Do stove fan's make a stove more efficient, or does it just help spread the heat around.

    Does having a fan on a stove make it any more efficient? Or does it just help even out the temperature in the room. Or worded another way, will I burn less wood with a fan installed, than without (assuming the same room temperature)? I'm assuming EPA stove ratings do not include a fan. My...

    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...

    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
