Valiant Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan (FIR350), Black, 200 mm

Product Information

Unlike most stove fans with either two or four blades, the Tomersun GoodPOY-00001 log burner has a unique three-blade design. It performs effectively and efficiently and has a strong build. While wood-burning stoves often produce plenty of heat on their own, they also tend to leave cold spots in a room and can take a significant amount of time to heat the entire space. Unless, of course, you find a way to increase airflow. One way to do this is by getting help from a stove fan. Wood-burning stove fans are a fantastic tool that can spread more warm air around and throughout a room. They are easy to install, simple to use, and heat powered, making them eco-friendly by design. Sounds almost too good to be true, right? Well, fortunately, they are not. All you have to do is find the right stove fan for your home, and you can forget about cold spots altogether. You may want to experiment with the placement a bit until you achieve the ideal speed and heat circulation for your specific circumstances. The Right Stove Fan for You

The standout feature of this fan is its silent operation. The newly designed blades ensure that the noise levels are kept to a minimum, allowing me to enjoy the warmth without any distracting buzzing or humming sounds. As well as considering the height of the fan for clearance, you’ll also need to consider the stove surface. The base size of stove fans can vary, and some models may not suit your stove, particularly if the stove surface is small or raised. They contribute to the use of less fuel inside your stove. Surprisingly, one stove fan can help you burn less wood or fewer pellets by making a room feel warmer faster. While each product has its own strengths, the Netta 4 Blade Mini Woodburner’s combination of energy efficiency, quiet operation, compact design, and warranty make it a standout option for those seeking an effective and reliable stove fan. As with the other fans I reviewed, this VonHaus model is self-powered and doesn’t require any batteries or electricity. Instead, a thermoelectric power generator module works with the heat from the stove to generate an electric current to start the fan’s motor. The stove fan works automatically between 50°C and 350°C.

The best stove fans to buy in 2023

Whilst a wood burning stove can certainly add a bit of warmth to a room, the heat tends to congregate around the fire itself. This can lead to the corners of the space feeling cold, no matter how much fuel you throw on the fire. A stove fan placed on top of the unit can help maximise the heat output from the fire, stopping valuable heat from escaping up a chimney or rising to the ceiling where it’s no good to anyone. The only issue we have with the model's operation is these whirring sounds that the fan makes during use. They're barely audible though since the fan never goes above 25 decibels. Other than that, its anodised aluminium body is rustproof and wear-resistant, so you shouldn't have any problems with the fan in the long run. If you place the fan on a burner, at the front, or at the wrong angle, the fan will not perform as well and may burn out. Will a Stove Fan Work on an Open Fire? The fan regulates the speed without any assistance from you, circulating somewhere between 160 and 190 CFM, good enough to keep small rooms nice and warm but not much more than that.

Then there’s the fact that you don’t want to ruin the look of an attractive a log burning stove with a bulky, unattractive stove fan.Stove fans don’t start running as soon as the wood stove is lit, they usually jump into life when the stove heats up and a certain temperature is reached. As you’ll remember from above, this wood burning stove fan does not come without potential cons. It may have a shorter working lifespan, and it might not push as much hot air as other models. This wood-burning stove fan could also become noisier over time, but these potential cons don’t sway our decision to name it our number one. We still think it makes an outstanding selection overall. The BenkerEsti Store 4 Blade Wood Stove Fan offers good value for money. Not only is it one of the more affordable stove fans featured, it’s also quiet and works well to distribute heat. A CFM rating is a good indication of how much warm air the fan can circulate, although not all stovetop fans will state this. Generally speaking, 130 – 180 CFM is sufficient for most standard, domestic rooms.
