That's interesting.  I have never seen those before.  I would think that there would be a lot of build up on them after a while.

Seems like a good idea, I heard on another site they were 60 bucks plus shipping. 330-485-6310 they said to leave a message and he would get back to you. May get one for my h2 and see what happens.

Hey Slosh let us know how it works out if you end up buying one.  If they are only $60 it would probably be worth it just to try it out.

That is the dealer that I bought my H2 from.  He knows the stoves very well.  He has worked with Hardy for quite a while in developing and tweaking their products.

I was thinking the same thing slosh.  I guess it wouldn't be hard to take it out and clean it though.

I called and left a msg today too. For $60, I'll give it a try.

I've been very disappointed in the wood consumption of my H2. I've tried various things, such as made an adjustable chain on my fan door so I could control the air intake, and adjusted my water temp lower. But wood consumption didn't change by any noticeable degree. 

I like his idea of the corkscrew in the stack. Makes sense.

 I have an H-4.  I have had the plates for over two years. The amount of wood used dropped 25-33%. Green wood or pine can be a problem with build up. There is slide in the middle to let deposit/ash that builds in the stack drop out. I burn newspaper or card board about once a week to heat up and burn out any build up of creosote. If I let it go to long it will build up and the draft will go to nearly zero. Then I have had to let the fire go out and work a screwdriver around the edges to clean it out. I also am able to take a stick and lift and shake the plate to keep a build up from forming. The number you listed as the contact is my local dealer that came up with he idea.

Slosh, When I bought a new stack for my H-2 it was $45 from the dealer.  I think I'm going to order one of these augers for my H-2. 

Brauma - Did you get your auger yet?  If you have, let us know what your opinion is.
