Hi all... I've had a 55-TRPAH for 7+ years now. This past week my auger motor for REAL loud. I searched for a replacement and got something off Amazon. Had to swap done parts over and snip/ crimp on some new ends. Now the thing is ROARING! Doesn't seem right. The new motor is 2rpm. In doing a little research I thought I found that the original motor was 1rpm. I just went to another site to look at motors for it and they only list 2rpm motors for it. Anyone know what it should be? Any idea why (if it actually should be 2rpm) my fire is suddenly cranking (since changing out the auger motor) and the outside of the stove (the lid for example) is getting hotter than it has in the past? Appreciate any assistance.

Im pretty sure it supposed to be a 2rpm. If you got one of the Chinese replacements from an aftermarket source it may be a 2.4-2.7rpm. Best way to check is to remove it and hook up a cord and plug into the wall outlet. With the large shaft facing you count the revolutions it makes in 60 seconds.
