But also as I installed the replacement fan I did everything one could possibly do to the seals, the burner, and the flue. The flame roars so that even I have no trouble hearing it with my ear anywhere near the flue vent if I'm outside on the drivers side. If I put my face along the grill behind the stove lid, under the window, I can feel the air being forces through it. A first! That never happened with the original setup, which had been replaced once with the original propeller style motors from GoWest in 2003.
