The short version is they're pretty much worthless.
Whatcha guys think?

We heat with wood , and without the ceiling fans all our heat would be
at the ceiling . Keeping the air moving makes the temps a lot more
uniform throughout the house . In winter they blow up so warm air moves
down around the perimeter , summer they blow down for direct airflow .


I lived in a cabin with wood heat. It was very picturesque with sort of
a cathedral ceiling and a sleeping loft at one end. I'd come home after
work, throw some wood in the airtight stove, and it was soon up to a
comfortable temperature. Then I'd climb up to the loft that would be
around 90 degrees. I learned a lot about cabin design that winter.
