Is my blower installed wrong?

[thillvogelzang]

I bought a house that has a Vogelzang TR004 installed. I’m using it for the first time and I’m confused. The blower is sucking air in. I thought it was supposed to be blowing the warm air out into the room. I don’t feel any warm air coming out from anywhere and it’s been burning for about an hour. I only feel the heat when I open the door. Was the blower installed backwards or something?

Can you post a pic of the blower install?

I tried to post a pic in the first post but it didn’t take it.

Another pic from the side, and also showing how it is sucking tissue in, not blowing it out.

Can you post a pic of the blower install?

Thanks for the pics, but the blower is BEHIND the housing.
We need to see how the unit is oriented on the housing.
Check your manual. It should have instructions on how
to remove the blower/housing assembly.

The blower is correctly installed. The tissue is over the blower intake, it should suck air there. The air from the blower blowsinto a plenum across the bottom of the firebox, then up the back, and then out to the front of the stove where it exits at the top.

What begreen said. It looks like hot air should exit just above the door.

Sucks air from the bottom. Air moves through the stove jacket and is heated. Blows out the top through the gap.
