Yes, they help. You need a fan to move it out of the room with the stove to
the rest of the house though. I used to hang a 10" box fan in the doorway
aimed to the stairwell.

Any fan that moves the air will help.

When we were into burning wood full time I added a return air duct to near
the ceiling in the room that contained the insert. When the room got toasty
I simply switched the furnace fan from auto to on to move some of that air
around the rest of the house. It wasn't 100% effective but it did help.

I grew up in a house with a wood furnance and the house had ceiling air
returns and it helped a lot.

You gotta have circulation. In our two story the warm air is drawn up
through 2 registers with computer fans in them and a cold air return
away from the stove. It's the cats ass.
