Product Information

When the bi-metallic strip senses that the stove is too hot, it expands and lifts the base of the fan away from the top of the stove. As a result, the body of the stove fan is somewhat protected from the heat of the stove. This usually happens at temperatures over 300 °C , and it’s a good idea to use a stove thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature of the stove – too hot a fire can damage the stove itself, as well as a fan on top. On top of this wood stove fan, you’ll find a convenient handle that allows you to manipulate its position while it is hot. This can be particularly handy while attempting to determine its optimal position. It also comes with a magnetic stove thermometer with a built-in handle. When in use, there is a noticeable difference felt in the room temperature, stopping heat from getting trapped by the stove. Burning logs at the correct temperature results in reduced build-up inside the flue, less smoke and ensures you get the maximum output from the fuel you’re putting in, so a thermometer can be a useful tool in getting to know your stove.

To truly understand stove fans, it’s best to go through each one. This will help you choose the best stove fan for your needs. It has very large blades that produce a good volume of airflow, we could feel it from 6ft away (about 1.8m). The blades do give a quiet hum, but it is not intrusive. You can hear it when you are stood next to the fan, but it doesn’t disturb a conversation, the radio or the TV. It begins to turn automatically when the temperature from the stove reaches 85 °C. At this point, it will help to circulate the warm air around the room, preventing it from simply rising to the ceiling. The stove’s maximum temperature shouldn’t exceed 345 °C . The main difference between a gas stove and a wood stove is that a gas stove has an automatic ignition. Stove fans will not begin to turn until the stove hits a minimum temperature and this exact temperature varies between fans. Similarly, most have a maximum temperature, above which the motor could overheat and become damaged. So if you’re unsure about the temperature your stove usually burns at, it’s worth buying a stove thermometer. These small magnetic thermometers will not only tell you the maximum temperature your stove typically reaches, but also help you to monitor the temperature and learn how to keep it burning at optimum temperatures for fuel efficiency.

VonHaus is a well-regarded name in the home improvement field but they are certainly not experts in stove fans like Valiant are. Still, they have an effective heat distributing model in the VonHaus XL 4 Blade Stove Fan, which is for those with the space for a larger stove fan but is perhaps looking for a model that is a little more affordable. This makes it perfect for stoves with sloping, irregular surfaces or simply where you don’t have sufficient space above your stove. It is also suitable for flat-top stoves that just don’t come up to a high enough temperature (cool tops). One way the style can affect the efficiency of a fan is with the number of bladesfeatured. Most include two blades, but some have three or four that may be able to circulate more air faster. Some stove fans feature two sets of blades, giving them a total of eight blades for maximum air circulation. Benefits of Using a Stove Fan Self-regulating design adjusts according to the temperature of the room so you remain at a comfortable temperature.

I’ve used and repaired stove fans for over a decade, so here are my recommendations for the best stove fans. Now you have your wood burning stove installed and have had it running for a few weeks, you may have noticed that there are cold spots in your room. Through your research you may have heard about stove fans. Maybe you know someone who has recommended using a stove fan to help with distributing the heat around your house. We have been in the stove fan business for a few years now and feel that we can help you answer your mounting questions: The Tomersun 3-blade stove fan has a 55°C starting temperature and a maximum of 300°C. It also contains a bi-metallic safety device to prevent overheating, which can damage the fan’s motor and its ability to push warm air in the long run. Simply set the fan in the appropriate position, and let it work its magic all by itself. Aside from the number of blades, stove fans can also come in a couple of styles. These styles can essentially be broken down into three categories: If a stovetop gets too hot it can actually damage the stove fan and void the warranty. I recommend you use a stove-top thermometer to monitor the temperature of the stove. Most stove fans have a maximum temperature that they can handle which is usually around 350°C.Most stove fans need to sit on a flat stovetop that gets hot. So what do you do if you have a sloped top, an irregular surface or a cool surface top that doesn’t get hot? Hansa engineers came up with the Vertical Mounting Kit that can be adapted to any kind of stove door front and attached to the stove fan using a couple of the three screw holes in the base described before. This way owners of the built in stoves can use the Sirocco Plus fan to get the heat distributed evenly around the room. All in all, The Sirocco Plus stove fan is nothing more than an original Sirocco fan plus the VMK.
