    I am going to put a blower on the T6 when I install next week. The dealer said he would sell it to me for cost which is still expensive. Is there an aftermarket fan that will work just as good? Thanks for any info you can pass along.

    I looked but I got mine for free with the stove so I stopped looking after I got it thrown in on the deal. I will say it makes a huge difference. I have the one with the rheostat on it and usually only run it on the lowest setting so it is nice and quiet. The fan motor actually sits in the center of the stove and has a dual shaft with a squirrel cage one on each side of the motor. If you need pics I can try to take some later when we get home.

    Thanks Certified, no pics needed. I will probably just buy it from the dealer then find it cheaper after the fact. Glad to hear it works well.

    Right where I want to be.
    OS, I went through the same thing when I got the upgraded blower for the NC30.
    My thought was that it's too expensive. I went ahead and got it at the urging of others, and man am I glad.
    This blower sounds like it's similar to the one Cert mentioned.
    I've almost completely forgotten how much it cost because of the way it's helped spread the heat in the house.
    If you have the money, just do it. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
