As it is usually the case with these fans, the unit is completely self-powered. You won't have to worry about batteries/mains electricity expenses. In other words, the fan costs nothing to operate. Most stove fans are designed to sit directly on top of the wood burner, but they shouldn’t be placed too close to the flue pipe – unless of course you buy a flue pipe fan, which are specifically designed to be fitted to the flue pipe and are particularly useful if your wood burner doesn’t have a suitable flat top for a standard fan. Do stove fans need batteries?
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. Besides that, the model's more than comparable to most fans we've reviewed here. You have the standard temperature gauge that allows you to monitor and optimise the stove's efficiency to prevent overheating. Its operating temperature ranges from 50 to 350 degrees Celcius, standard numbers except that, more often than not, the unit does not start working before the stove reaches ~70 degrees, which's unfortunate but not too concerning. This fan has an operating temperature of 65 °C. Once the stove reaches this temperature, the fan’s blades will begin to spin. The stove fan will then continue to circulate air around the room until the stove has cooled down. The aim of a stove fan is to stop hot air from collecting around the wood stove, or from rising to the ceiling without benefitting the rest of the room. A stove fan will catch the heat before it has a chance to rise, and push it further out into the room. It will also improve circulation, better cycling warm air and cooler air throughout the space.It’s easy to set up – all you need to do is place this stove fan on the smooth, flat surface of your stove top. It measures 19 cm tall and has a reasonably compact base of approximately 10 x 7 cm, making it suitable for the majority of stoves. The size allows this stove fan to properly distribute heat around a room, reducing the amount of heat that is lost up through the chimney or up to the ceiling. The four fan blades are good quality and begin rotating when the temperature of the stove reaches 80°C.
Second, if you have a very large room, consider buying a bigger fan to ensure it’s capable of circulating enough air around your room. Some – but not all – fans list airflow in cubic feet per minute (CFM), so in this case look for fans with a higher CFM figure. Where do I place the stove fan? A temperature gauge is an energy-efficient features which lets you monitor the heat and performance of your stove fan. You can use it to optimise its efficiency which will prevent against damage from overheating.The VonHaus 4-Blade Stove Fan starts with its somehow rustic yet, at the same time, sleek profile, with smooth and polished fans but rough, sanded-looking base. We are not talking about anything that different from most stove fans but there's something about its finish, something understated, subtle, and attractive. What's also attractive about this unit is the increased size, measuring 22.5 (height) x 19 (length) x 9 (width) centimetres to make maximum impact. Some stoves will have a larger surface area on top, which will accommodate a larger fan base. Others may not have much room at all. For this reason it’s important to consider the size of fan you can feasibly buy – not all stove fans will be compatible with all stoves. Another plus is the low starting temperature of 50˚C (lower than many of the other models here), meaning you can make the most of the heat given out by your stove as it comes up to its maximum temperature.
