Is there any maintenance to be done on a pellet stove? Just bought a used one(15 years old, Traditions by Lennox) Stove works fine but does the auger need to be oiled or anything?

GVA said:As far as oiling the motor........... If it has bronze bushings as the bearing surface, These are most likely oil impregnated (i can't remember the # I think it's like SAE 461 bronze)
They should not require to be oiled for the normal life of the bearing, the oil when it is completly gone from the bronze surface then the bearing wears when it gets to that point you would be better to change the bushing, because the oil will not stick to it.....ie: you would have to oil it almost everyday to notice anything...
Is it making noise?
