I seem to recall seeing a thread last year on eliminating the stirrer /agitator on stoves like the 6039HF but I can't seem to find it?
My agitator motor was starting to make noises last year and all we burn is wood pellets so I'm thinking its best just to get rid of the agitator. Whats required and what are the downsides?
I'm assuming you end up with less flyash which is great, but what else happens?
We only use the pellet stove in mild weather now as the NG steam heat is a bit much to run in the spring / fall due to, well, a lot of iron that must be heated.
I don't know about others, but I'm looking forward to the winter!
Thanks,
