POOR RATING
WORKED FOR 6 MONTHS AND HAS STOPPED WORKING LESS THAN A YEAR!
THE UNIT CANNOT HANDLE VT WINTERS!

I suspect you may have creosote buildup on the blades keeping the motor from turning. Try removing the fan and seeing if you can spin the motor. We have had good results with these units so if that doesn't work give our service department a call and we'll get you taken care of...Robert

This little gem did the trick for me. I have a fan driven, wood gasification boiler that should not need any draft assistance, except that the chimney is nearly 50' long. I had all kinds of problems over two years. Finally, I looked for a draft inducer solution after nothing else worked. The Tjernlund was by far the least expensive and the only in-line fan. I was hesitant to use an in-line for what is supposed to be a closed system. Anyway, I hooked it up to the boiler's fan motor so it ran and stopped running when the boiler kicked on and off. Works like a charm! And the adjustable rheostat is handy, too, for variable weather conditions during different seasons. Only negative comment is that the cut-out template cuts a hole too large, necessitating use of extra high heat sealant.

easy to install, very impressed with the power. I have 4 elbows in my pipe, and it runs 30+ feet before it turns up on the outside of the building. This unit has no problem keeping the draft going.

This item has made our woodburing stove functional again! We remodeled our home in 2003 and significantly raised the roof line. As a result, we could not get our difficult to start air tight woodstove to draw. This product was simple to install and within 1 minute created the draw in our chimney that we never had before. I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from negative draft in their chimney.

Hi, I recently purchased this product and hooked it up to the back of my vertical stove pipe coming from my wood stove, under the elbow to a horizontal pipe going into the chimney. I was a little skeptical at first, as to how it would work and not allow smoke into the house where the shaft enters the housing to turn the fan. Other than the stovepipe template being a little big, necessitating some creative use of furnace cement and some awkward placement of screw holes to attach to the pipe, the inducer has all but totally solved a smoking problem and also encourages a steady burn on big logs, especially at low speed, for longer periods. All in all, money well spent.
