Gang,
I've been thinking about this one quite a bit lately. I have the optional blower on my quad Step top 4300, and the draft is directed downwards across the stove top. Is it possible that this is cooling the the stove to the point where it is inhibiting combustion efficiency? I can;t get accurate stovetop readings with an IR thermometer when the blowers are on because the stove is obviously being cooled. Sometimes it seems that placing a fan 20 feet from the stove and just directing the airflow towards the stove would accomplish the same goal as the stove-mounted blowers. What do you folks think? thanks,.
