Hello...
I have the tractor surprise US Stove KP130 which is actually a 5502m stove and got the third day without any flaws...
Heat range 1 on auto and all is working as it should...even not used up the second bag yet, so i am happy with the heat output vs pellet usage
BUT...the convection blower...even on heat range 1 which is the lowest...this bugger is present...no way to ignore while watching TV in same room (we placed it in living room)
Are their ways to silence that somehow? better blowers? Insulation mats around motor etc.?
It does not sound broken, but loud...
Any tips are highly appreciated
 
have you checked the bolts to see if their tight? I got rid of the fiberglass gasket on mine and used high heat silicone and it has taken out some of th vibration noise
 
And you got some noise reduction by that?
Will def take a look...
 
Acts as a rubber isolator.. down fall is your stove needs to be off long enough for it to set up.. it's not a huge difference but I noticed a difference

Who would you consider as "they" in this sentence?
 
Pretty much any pellet stove parts vendor. Google pellet stove convection blower gasket.
