My season of burning ended about three weeks ago, because of stove failure. The bushing on the end of the auger ceased up, and burned the motor out that turns the auger. I order the whole assembly from the manufactory, they sent me the wrong assembly, they sent a second assembly this time the correct one, but did not include the bushing which caused the whole failure. So now I am waiting to receive the bushing which should come in this Thursday. If anyone has seen the Money Pit the movie, that is this insert. Within a year of operation it has a new IC chip on the controller board, 4 igniters, two sets of fan brushes, and a new gasket for the door. The assembly is 212.00 plus 30 dollars shipping, so that could have bought quite a bit of gas, I sure am rethinking this whole pellet stove thing.
Long story short I had my propane tank filled and the weather is warming up, so I really doubt, I use the insert much the rest of this season, even when I do get the correct part for the auger.
