    Perhaps I’ll get a fan that sits back away from the stove and can be plumbed with a high temperature rated vent into that port hole…

    I'd just cut the hole bigger and screw a larger blower on...

    I like the way you think! Or this could be an excuse to upgrade to the nc30 :thumbs:

    We tried an NC13, it was not enough for our needs even with blower. We reinstalled an old pre-epa and glad we did. So many here love their NC30, I'd bet you would too :) Firebox size matters.

    The NC30 isn't available anymore...it was replaced by the NC32, which is pretty much the same stove, but with an extra secondary air tube added.
