Pellet Stoves
Should I Even Try To Fix This Thing???
I just got an email the other day from a guy who has an older pellet stove in need of some replacement parts. His question to me was should he even bother trying to fix it or just buy a new stove. This is a great question and maybe one you’re thinking about right now. […]
Englander Auger Motors
You may wonder why these motors only last for a year or two. They seem to fail more often than other auger motors. I have a theory. Englander uses two auger motors on their stoves. One runs intermittently and the other runs continuously. Englander is the only pellet stove that I know of that has two motors and […]
Rebuilding or Resurrecting Pellet Stove Motors

How to Get MORE Heat From Your Pellet Stove
A few days ago I got a call from a gentleman on the east coast who was concerned about his stove working correctly. The specifications on the stove said it should heat a 2200 square foot house. His house was under 1900 square feet and his stove was not heating the whole area. Perhaps you […]
Englander 2 Auger System
I finally saw a picture of one of these the other day. On occasion I will have someone who has seen my eBay items call and ask me if the auger motors are both the same. They are. I think what is confusing is that you have one motor that turns intermittently and the other turns […]
Fire Going Out
I received a very interesting question today on my eBay site and I thought I’d post it here for the people who may be having the same problem. Dear jason.munson, hi Jason, I bought the controll board and used the troubleshooting guide for the board that was already on the stove. I have some questions […]
