    Good point about the chain drive stoves, this one was an Accentra Insert so no chain drive. First time I have seen a squeal on this model stove.
    The new auger with 3 welds and smaller diameter flight is a real fix so the newer stoves will never see this problem.
    I did have the chance to install an updated chain drive kit for a customer who was putting the chain back on and did not realize the stove was still plugged in! Luckily the firemen came quickly and got his finger out and after 6 months most of it healed up! I did notice that the rubber grommets that reverse mount the auger motor for the chain were dry and brittle and was a major factor in the chain falling off! The new updated chain drive kit does not use rubber grommets! :)
