Question
THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME SO QUICKLY.  I WAS WONDERING HAVE YOU HEARD OF TEM TEX PRODUCTS INC?  I GUESS IF I CANT FIND THAT PARTICULAR PART I GUESS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS CAN I INSTALL AN (A) FIREPLACE INSERT BLOWER KIT INTO A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE AND IF SO WOULD YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL A BLOWER INTO A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE SO THAT THE SMOKE DOES NOT BLOW INSIDE OF MY HOUSE?  COULD YOU POSSIBLY TELL ME WHERE OR WHAT WEBSITE I CAN GO TO THAT COULD HELP ME OUT WITH THIS?  THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME AND HELP. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.  SINCERELY,  JULIANNA ARTHUR

Answer
Welcome back Julianna, by code you can not install a "blower " from a different unit only OEM parts, if you can not find these parts then the whole fireplace and chimney system might need to be replaced, unless you can find a manufacture that makes a replacement fan that will work (needle in a very big hay stack if at all) I do not know where to find they type of parts. I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
James
