Tore out the stoker this summer to do so cleaning, redo the flue and install coal-trol. I guess I kinda went overboard. I bought heat-fab flue pipe. Great stuff, welded seams, heavy gauge. I had chimney inspected and no issues but said a SS liner would help my draft or put in a booster. I put in a booster.
I installed a draft gauge and hard piped to flue. Installed 2 thermo couples, one in flue and one in hot air supply to monitor temperature. I spent the time and money and installed conduit for electrical. The motors are all pigtailed with flexible conduit. I wired a controller by the stove for the draft booster.
Got all the wires pulled and done today. Just waiting on my 3 colored cords to show up to wire them in to plug into the coal-trol so everything is simple.

Power cords came today so finished up the wiring. The cords are colored and the coal-trol is colored to match plug. I tried to take out the which plug goes where if I'm unable to be there. I did find out one thing, girlfriends finger nail polish is good for something other then fingers. Made coloring coal-trol easy. I also got the thermocouple wires run and cleaned up the run of them.
Overall, the extra work and extra money was worth it. I'm glad I took time to do it.
