BrotherBart said:A thing about the fans being low CFM besides the noise is the EPA testing. If the stove has a standard fan or one is an option the testing has to be done with the blower on. Too much air would cool the firebox too much and blow the test (pun intended) for them and not get certified.
8.12.5 Auxiliary Wood Heater Equipment Operation.
Heat exchange blowers sold with the wood heater shall be
operated during the test run following the manufacturer's
written instructions. If no manufacturer's written
instructions are available, operate the heat exchange blower
in the "high" position. (Automatically operated blowers
shall be operated as designed.)

so i would be shooting myself in the foot with too much airflow?
Motors don't work on faith alone. There should be almost no possibly of dust entering the sleeve or ball bearing. You are oiling a felt, not the bearing directly.I think this is brought up every year. I always go by the fact that oiling will attract dust, so I haven't in three years. I clean them out once a year
