Well Willie, my Central Boiler doesn't have a blower at all now, it's natural draft.  There's just a servo that opens the draft.  Central Boiler maintains that there are only certain circumstances that would require a draft inducer since their stoves are made to expell the gases so well without one.  Anyway, I noticed a better burn by adding a joint of stack and would add more if I didn't need to guy it off of something so I'm thinking the draft inducer would make it burn quite a bit hotter.   Thanks for your thoughts.

i have a home made OWB and i now have one 150 cfm  blower feeding it and i have another on the shelf as a spare..in the past i have thought of adding the second one with a longer feed tube to reach the back of the 5 foot long firebox to induce better combustion as well...if you proceed let me know what you think the results are. I may add mine for the next burn season

I'll let you know if I decide to add that to my already huge spending spree this winter (24x24 garage, Teryx side by side, windows, siding, etc.).  It never ends..hehehe
