Default Heat-powered fan for Wood stove


I have a Jotul Allagash natural gas-burning stove and I was thinking
about getting this type of fan for it. I know the Jotul has it's own
electrically-powered fan, but I thought if this one that doesn't need
electricity actually worked, it would be great to use that instead. We
recently had a 4-day power outage. . .although I had some heat because
of the gas stove, it would have been nice if I could have moved the air
around a bit. An added bonus is that it costs more than $100 less than
the Jotul blower unit, PLUS I don't have to pay anyone to install this!


You do realize that the air-mover doesn't have to be anywhere near
the stove to work, right? The best place to put a fan for
moving stove heat around is in the transom of a door to another
room.

And why is the window over a door named the same thing as the
ass-end of a boat?
