    Yes, 7500 ft altitude. It was Drolet tech support that brought altitude to my attention

    Can you snap a picture of the combustion blower on that stove so we can confirm the mounting configuration. I would also like the cfm rating of the current blower. Drolet should be able to provide that information.

    Wow...a positive draft OAK fan? You might need to just verify that it is in fact working.

    Good, I can't get the zip ties un-tied anyway. Will verify it's spinning, but any ideas on the zip ties?

    It might also be one of the two convection air blowers on that stove. But the stove has a two blower combex system.

    ETA: The manual is showing a large single convection blower so that is the air intake combustion fan. I've seen too many manuals and they are blending together.

    Nope, the one I want to see is the one that finally attaches to the vent system.

    Lucky you. My brain (what's left of it is usually half asleep by now). I think I'll go upstairs and grab a mug of porter.

    The bottom one looks full but it's build up on the back wall, not packed full. I missed taking a pic busy with lil one before he dumped the ash pad but the firebox is like it was.

    What I'm looking for is the back side vieiw of that blower in the second picture. It is likely going to be a pain to get a decent angle to there.

    ETA: There is also supposed to be a clean out plate under where the burn pot sits it also needs a sealing gasket.
