I have a Quest and my firebrick broke in half. Before I can get a new one, can I still use my old one and what type of negative effectswill I have on the stove? Also, what type of grease is the best to use on my auger motor. Thanks s much
 
Do a search on how to repair firebrick there's a really good thread on how to fix it.

I'm on my iPad right now and I don't know how to cut-and-paste The link
 
Hello

Grease is for car doors, it will attract dust and gum up a small motor. The MSDs for small motors written by the major small electric motor manufacturers recommend light oil and only oil. I like to use Tuf Oil Lubit-8 or 3-1 oil will work.
PC me with your email address if you want info on the Lubit-8

Actually Don, there is grease that is used inside the reduction gear casing on auger motors.
