I can't find the video on youtube for this anymore.  Does anyone have a link? I found one link but it says the video is private.  Does this guy have a website too?  I'm going to try and build my own with the auger from Harbor Freight.

I just want to watch that video again.  I'm going to go and buy the auger from Harbor Freight and make my own.  I just need to measure the inside diameter of the flue pipe to make sure the auger will fit inside.  I have a feeling the auger will be too big.  I guess you could grind the edges until it slides in.  I'm hoping to get this completed this weekend.   :thumbup:

Yea your going to want a snug fit. Rather it be a little to big and grind down to fit snug.

Do you mean the standard one that comes with the h4 or the retrofit one that guy was selling?

tickman,

 I can get you the dimensions for the H4 baffle plate when my stove is not running full bore. It is  a two piece plate that is bolted together, with a slide door on one side to increase draft and for clean out. There is a one inch gap all the way around the out side. If I don't do it when it warms up message me as a reminder.

Farmer, you are the first one I have ever talked to that had actually bought one. Did you see any change after installing it?

Completely missed it, thanks! I added a flue extension down into my firebox this year. I believe it helped but it has been a VERY cold winter and am on track to burn what I did last year( 12 cords or so).

If you buy a piece of auger, remember whats sold as a 6" auger is actually 5" and is meant to run in a 6" tube. A 7" auger would measure 6" and run in a 7" tube.

mlappin, good thing to watch out for.

This is the auger bit that we are talking about. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-diameter-auger-bit-95973.html
 The description states diameter=6 inches. Worth measuring first though!
