Well I cheaped out and bought a universal blower for the Harman. With the original harman brand blower costing a couple hundred bucks, I bought the one at Lowes for $80. Soon I realized the same one could be had on Ebay for $36. I returned the Lowes one and got the ebay one. Well needless to say of coarse it doesn't fit. $15 worth of 'drops' scrap at the local steel supplier and a couple hours of fab time, I made a manifold to mate the blower to the stove. I didn't think of doing pics as I was building the thing so i didn't get too many fab pics,
Overall, I think the blowers air volume is a little low but it works.
