Auger motor

[Griny]

Can anyone tell me how many rpm's this one runs? People say that its not that important you may be off a couple rpm but I think it does.
For example if your auger motor is running 1 rpm and you install another one that does 2 rpm you increase your pellet rate by 100%
I know you can lower your pellet rate to put it on the lowest setting but it wouldn't be how it supposed to be.

I believe its a 1 rpm. The cross I got was to a C-E-017 1 RPM from a breckwell replacement.

One way to be sure is mark the out put and rig up a lamp cord to it. Plug it in and time it for 1 minute. see how many rev's you get.

If you have over feed issues from the stove. It could be the control panel? I have seen them not properly control the auger motors cycle. Once you hit the on button they just continue to run non stop. I would check that too!

The Gleason-Avery brand has gotten very good reviews. Beefier than standard motors, and also much cheaper. Here's the link to their website...you can buy them direct there (you want #A901):
