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've been looking for the same info but no luck here neither

What info are you looking for?

[AirForcePOL]

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.

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

Does anyone have the dimensions for the plate for a H4?

[hondaracer2oo4]

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

[tickman]

the retro fit the guy is 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.

[hondaracer2oo4]

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

[Farmer Blue]

See reply #10 in this thread.

[hondaracer2oo4]

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!
