Problems with my heat powered wood stove fan

Try adding a bit of lubricant to the motor. Use something like a bit of silicone lubricant, not WD-40. Over time, the high heat environment will cause the oil the factory used to degrade.

I'd tried a couple different lubricants, and no luck

You can check the voltage out of the thermopile to see if it matches the new one

That's not a bad idea. but rarely running the stove lately as it's starting to warm up. If I think about it (and can find my meter) I will

I had a couple of them but my clumsy self kept knockin em off the stove and the started to tick,tick,tick,tick...ya get the idea. I ended up throwin them out like a fool but thats when I had money..you know the saying..anyways,you can always order a new Pelter and replace it. Im sure you will figure it out. Hope all is well

[@tnthomesteading]

Thankfully never knocked them over.

How close can you get a candle (or lighter} to each before it blows it out?

[@tnthomesteading]

only candles I know we have are in jars, so that wouldn't work. I may have to find a cancel we can use if I can find one before the stove is done for the year.
