Hi everyone! New to the forum and I've got a question. The auger motor on my Empress Stove is going out and I was curious as to what the best replacement for it would be: Factory replacement, or is there a good aftermarket replacement? Thanks!

Factory or aftermarket, there really isn't a whole lot of difference. I prefer OEM but you will definitely pay more for them and there are non OEM ones out there which will be just as good.

My Enviro M55 came with a Gleason Avery auger motor. It is almost totally silent in operation. I would highly recommend them. Figure out which one your stove uses and then order direct from Gleason Avery. Price from them is $74.99+ shipping. Hard to beat that.
Hey thanks very much for the replies guy, very helpful and much appreciated! I'll check out that Gleason Avery.
Depending on the RPM required, you ma be able to get one of these VERY cheap, and they are a VERY sturdy and powerful unit:
