The lehigh brochure shows an optional blower. Does anyone have this blower on their stove? How much are they? Where can you get them? How well do they work? Specs CFM?

Thanks,

Gregg

You can buy the same blower's threw these Place and it will be Probably cheaper then going threw Reading stove for one
Just match the bolt patteren on your stove to the fan housing look at the spec. sheet next to the blower fan on the list

Not sure if you're talking about the blower that they sell to blow the heat from the top of the stove into the room. If you are I have one on my Lehigh and it makes a difference moving the hot air into my basement. Reading takes a fan like shown on the websites posted above and builds a stand that is attached to the back of the Lehigh. The fan is located at the bottom of the stand and blows air through a channel that exits in front of the hopper and then the hot air is blown away from the stove instead of rising up to the ceiling. I did see on here someone with a differn't stove used a tower fan and placed it behind their stove to blow the air into the room. If you are talking about a fan to improve combustion on the Triburner system there is a lot of good info on other posts about that subject too. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, I should have been more specific, I was talking about the convection blower, not the combustion blower. Does anyone have a picture of the shroud or dimensions? I've got a 1200 sq/ft ranch with the stove in the basement. I'm trying to move the air across the basement and hopefully have it float up to the first floor. I've cut in register and thinking about putting a fan in the register to draw more air through it.

I'll try to get a picture of the Reading blower that is on my stove. Lots of good threads on here about moving air in the house when you have a stove.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with pictures everyone in the house is sick including me. I bought my Lehigh with the blower package and they charged me a little under $200. If I messed up uploading the pictures let me know and I'll try again.
