First off, thanks for all the info I've gathered lurking around the site.
Back story: I found a Breckwell P2000i (circa 2000) on Craigslist for $150. Guy said "The auger doesn't work". After some testing, and troubleshooting, I found out the previous owner tried bypassing the auger thermodisk with a piece of what looked like metal coat hanger wire. The conductivity was about as good as a cheesburger so I connected the thermodisk like it should be and the stove works perfectly!
The only downside is the exhaust blower housing. It's rusted pretty bad and I'd rather be safe and replace only the housing (the blower works fine and is quiet) but I can't find the housing by itself ANYWHERE.
Anyone know where I could find just the housing? This is the older model with the vertical exhaust. I suspect moisture built up in the housing since there's no cleanout tee during the summer and that's why. I'd refer a cleanout, but I'm not sure if they are interchangeable.
