I recently Â*had a conversation with an insurance adjuster who told me
one of the causes of fires in a home are these box fans...do you have

He's a lying sack of sh*t!

Tell that to the mobile home that I was renting back in the early 80's
that burnt to the ground after I left a box fan running while I was at
the grocery store.

So you don't use a box fan now?

Nope. Ceiling fans.

Which just stir inside air.

That's all BOX fans do when used properly too - they are NOT window
fans. Using them as such is a misuse.
