PE Summit Blower

[pilot-werx]

Now that I have mastered the operation of the summit, I am debating the addition of a blower. Are there any summit owners that have the blower and what are your thoughts?

We have a ceiling fan too but the blower works better. I set it very low and it creates a gentle breeze of warm air off the top of the stove. Very quiet too, except that sometimes it rattles which you can fix by moving it slightly or touching the rear heat shield. I can use it to gage how hot the stove is after an all night burn. Laying in bed, if I hear the blower running in the early morning then there are still coals. My one complaint of the thing is that for $250 only two sheet metal screws hold it onto the rear heat shield. It is so heavy that it "sags", thus pulling the thermo-switch away from the rear of the stove. You have to compensate by bending the thermo-switch mounting bar towards the stove so that it always is pressed against the stove steel. Hope that makes sense. Overall, I'm glad I have it.

How did you see or feel the sensor, and how do you adjust it? thanks

and i'll agree the two self tapping type screws are a joke.

The sensor sticks straight up from the blower box. It looks like an old metal transistor with a wire coming out of each side of it. You can easily bend the bracket back and forth that the sensor is attached to.
