Not sure this is the same on all pellet stoves, but my Astoria has 2 little yellow plugs that I take out, and put a few drops of light (20w, or 3 in 1) oil in to lube the bearings, but it's only on the room air (convection) blower....the combustion blower doesn't have any place for oil.....weird.....maybe it has to do with the higher temp that the combustion blower motor runs at.....???
No lubrication is needed on my Quadrafire the bearings are all sealed. I dont know about the St Croix and how the bearings are set up.
No lubrication for the blowers on my prescott. Remove
them and thoroughly clean them. Toothbrush and compressed
air works for me but don't turn the psi up too high.
With the exhaust blower make sure you clean the recessed area that the blower
sits in. I use a small putty knife to loosen the hardened material in there.
