Hello

Looks like the part was in there from the factory. I certainly do not see any to buy!
Maybe the factory had alot of units to ship out and only one part missing that they could not get or it would take way to long. Luckily I had a thin wall socket to get over the bolt heads that held it in because they were so close to those cylinder rivets or whatever they are!

What do you think?
If you have a 3 year old Napoleon you may want to check!

Looks like there may be a reason for using the "surface mount" here instead of the "air stream" mount but we are looking for pics for proof before jumping the gun.

It may be more of an issue with the FS opposed to the Insert because the FS can build up more heat inside.

Well, it did work ok --- loI

Pics 1 and 2 are of the PoF removed from the stove
Pic 3 is the correct Napoleon replacement PoF
