Hi all,

My P23 is an older unit (1994?)

It runs good, but I got it real cheap and don't mind freshing it up.

Should I splurge for a new combustion blower? Mine rattles a little and I have a feeling it might not be as strong as a new one.

Also I noticed the newer style burn pots are much smaller than mine. Would I see benefits by getting the newer smaller pot? Does it burn more efficient? It looks like it might have better airflow then mine.

Thanks all for the input.

-John

hey John,

the forum resident Breckwell "expert" is Eric at Kinsman Stoves....why don't you shoot him a PM or email, and ask him. And if he does think some replacements are in order, he's a Breckwell dealer and he is a good guy in terms of price for parts for Hearth.com forum members.
