    Sell 'em!

    Oh, pics to prove it really happened:
    Factory screwed-up on the one to the left.....was supposed to have 17 slats, but they put in 40!! (Both windows are identical). Gonna see if I can find directions on how to remove the excess myself.....took too long to get them in the first place.

    I struggled trying to use a stove brush that was too long, then fought the vacuum tube which was not doing a good job. Remembered you suggesting this a long time ago, grabbed a paint brush and it was much faster and easier. Thanks!

    OK got neighbor going.Anyway,on yours,the channel with the 2 covers,you probably noticed you could see part of the fan impeller.What the company wants you to do is remove that section(the angle piece with 2 covers) and then pull blower off and clean.But it is close enough to the pipe connector you probably can just pull the pipe and reach in there with a brush and vacuum tip,much like an austroflamm.If there are any horizontal sections of pipe hokking to your vertical,they will fill up much faster.The convection blower is behind right panel,usually once a year thing unless you have pets.Also you have a combustion blower,right behind the pipe where a OAK would hook up.May also be a problem if you have pets and do not have an OAK.Your stove is a little different as it has a combustion and an exhaust blower.

    The problem was their last couple offensive possessions they played not to lose instead of ending the game....they took their foot off the gas.

    I have never seen two teams play so poorly. How Green Bay didn't blow them out is mind blowing. Guess it's gonna be Pats VS Seahawks:thumbs:

    You have a combustion blower as well as the exhaust blower. You cleaned the Exhaust blower area. The combustion blower is just at the intake and looks like a little computer cooling fan. It needs no maintenance, other than blowing the dust off every year. There is no way to service it, because the motor is inside the center fan housing.

    The newer SBI stoves all have 5 motors.
    A combustion blower
    A exhaust blower
    2 auger motors (perpendicular to one another)
    And a Convection blower.

    The convection and combustion needs blown off. But are rarely serviceable (I lube the bushings and bearing on mine, but it takes a long oil snout to reach them)

    The augers I clean them up and lube the bronze bushing once or twice a year.

    The combustion blower on my Enerzone is unlike any I have ever seen before. It is heavy duty and non serviceable (at all). I clean the impeller and exhaust passage going to it, but that is about it.

    I believe your Drolet has an ignitor air pump also. Remove the small canister air filter and clean it..
