Discount Thermoelectric Self-Powered Woodstove Fan

Customer Ratings:

We live in an old farmhouse with high ceilings that is very drafty downstairs.We heat primarily with our wood stove which does an average job,however the wood floors can be quite cold.I was looking for something to circulate the heat more efficiently.This fan is just what my cold feet needed,I am very pleased with the design and this thing is built like a tank!My husband is going to do some temperature measurements over the weekend to see how effective it is (yes he is a geek)Having owned an Ecofan in the past I can tell you this is worth paying a little more.I will update later...

Man is this thing well built, truly like a tank as another review stated... something this robust is very rare these days. I expect it may outlast my woodstove. But beyond it's unusual robustness, it also works and it is incredibly silent. I've used it for the past 3 years on my new woodstove insert. My prior woodstove insert included an integrated fan which was incredibly noisy and unreliable. I definitely wanted to steer clear of an integrated 120V fan and I can get away without one (the ceiling fan helps), but this thermoelectric fan does help spread some heat to the lower areas around the woodstove when I first fire it up. And if lose power in my home in the winter, this fan becomes the only means to help spread the heat.

One thing to note... this fan directs air to flow opposite it's natural flow. So, while the hot air naturally rises from the woodstove, this fan pulls air from the top and blows it down or actually angled down somewhat and to the sides. I wonder if this fan could be redesigned (with the same technology and robustness) to flow air from bottom to top (like a normal woodstove fan works) and if this would be better. It probably gets complicated and depends on a lot of things. I am pretty sure however that the fan as is does help the lower area around the stove feel warmer when the stove is first fired up (before the entire room is heated up).

Best Deals for Thermoelectric Self-Powered Woodstove Fan

I sent my ecofan original back and got this for my 10,000 btu Sengoku OR77 Omni Radiant Kerosene Heater running at 275*F and it does a great job sending the hot air angling downward all around it. I also tried it on my 23,000 btu dynaglo in the basement running at 350*F and since it's only a half-inch bigger around than the heater, the air went out mostly horizontally but even faster and no hot air was detectable above either heater. The seller isn't very eager to provide info here but you can search the web for pics and specs (and prices). It's a lot bigger and heavier than the ecofan but much more effective and robust and it's not that much more expensive than the heavily taxed canadian product so it's really a bargain.
