Do wood fire fans work?

No, a blower does not affect the efficiency, burn times or heat output of a wood stove. Instead, it pushes air around the stove’s exterior, heating it and releasing it back into the room. Blowers/fans are always mounted on the outside of stoves and will not push air into the firebox.

Do stove fans make a difference?

One of the key differences a stove fan can make to your home is the dramatic increase in the warmth that you receive from your stove.

What’s the difference between woodburning and multifuel stoves?

Woodburners have a fixed grate and no ashpan, since wood burns best on a bed of ashes. Multi-fuel stoves or fires incorporate a raised grate system which allows combustion air under the fuel (primary air) for effective burning. This system also allows the easy removal of the ash from below using a removable ashpan.

What kind of fan does a caframo ecofan use?

This solution is missing in the Caframo Ecofans. Stove fans like the Phoenix or Valiant have a bimetallic strip fitted in the base which bends when exposed to the temperature and tilts the fan at 250 centigrade so the fan’s body is pushed away from the stovetop.

Which is the most powerful stove fan caframo?
