escamon 90 years later !

the previous comment about the escamo fan and that he has no issues, only thing I can say is that the stove must not be used to its best heat output. Due to the fact my escamo heats approx 3000 sq feet all on its lonesome, I do burn a lot of wood to get the heat transfer in tbe convection side.. and yes my external fan I fitted its fantastic on a speed controller it can respond to heat output and blast tbe heat from the stove and with no fear if destruction of the fan... we will all use stoves differently and mine failed in the gan system it came with several times.. if you look at where the fan is under the stove it''s adjacent to the Ash box container right below the firebox itself... you can tell as Barbas have now moved the fan to the side on newer units...

I am now looking to install a secondary burn system to improve its burn efficiency through the fire box at the rear down and under the Ash box area to vents in the front facia.Has anyone attempted to improve a escamo 90??? is so drop a message .. regards
