About this deal

Improve Stove Performerce : This log burner heat-powered 4 blade stove fan increases the efficiency of your freestanding stove heater/ pellet heater, oven or wood/log burner by effectively distributing heat, FULLY utilize the heat from your wood stove and disperse it to your room. And 38% of wood or fuel cost saving. You would be forgiven for thinking that you can put your stove fan wherever you like, as long as it is on top of the wood-burning stove. You are correct in a sense, it needs to be on top of the stove itself so that the bottom gets the heat from the stove and starts one part of the thermoelectric process. While it’s certainly true that you can find less expensive stove fans on the market today, this is one of those cases where you get what you pay for. Valiant has been in the business for a long time. Their design and engineering is top notch, and their fans will last longer and serve you better than most models offered by other companies. Most stove fans are designed to sit directly on top of the wood burner, but they shouldn’t be placed too close to the flue pipe – unless of course you buy a flue pipe fan, which are specifically designed to be fitted to the flue pipe and are particularly useful if your wood burner doesn’t have a suitable flat top for a standard fan. Do stove fans need batteries?

The fan will start running as low as 50°C so it will start distributing the heat right away. You won’t have to wait a long time for the fan to start running. This means that you start feeling the heat fast. Where it really helps though is that because the fan is not that tall, around 12.5cm, you only need 13cm clearance above the stove to use this fan. This compact model is perfect for those who have limited space above the stove, a significant advantage as many three and four-blade models are taller. This is really why I recommend this model in my review. Both the blades and base of this stove fan are constructed from premium anodised aluminium, making the fan highly resistant to rust and corrosion. The fan begins to operate when the base reaches 65°C. The optimum operating range is a respectable 85°C to 350°C. The six-blade design provides impressively high power, offering twice the power of regular three-blade stove fans.

The carry handles enable hassle-free portability. This is a useful feature on this extra-large fan. Finally, this product is covered by a two-year warranty which is in line with the Valiant stove fans. Pros The Premium 4 Fan requires no batteries or external power. The heat of the stove top is conducted through the base of the fan and converted to electricity which powers the fan motor. The fan automatically slows and stops as the heat from the stove reduces. It is this property of stove fans that dramatically improves the overall efficiency of the wood burning stove or fireplace. If the fan required an external power source, then most of the efficiency gains would be eaten up in the act of supplying the power needed to run the device, which makes them something of an engineering marvel.

Safety Protection Design:The stove fan comes with a Bi-metallic safety device.When the stove surface temperature rises above around 300℃,the safety device gently elevates the front of the fan to protect the center module and motor. If your stovetop does not reach a high enough temperature or has an irregular surface, you can now reap the full benefits of a Heat Powered Stove Fan. The magnetic Thermometer clearly displays the temperature of your stove, enabling you to maintain a safe and efficient operating temperature and reduce fuel consumption. This fan is for use on wood and gas stoves. The operating range of this fan is 100°C to 345°C. This version means that your stove has to be pretty warm for the air to start circulating. What I did discover is this model is a good choice for longer, more rectangular-shaped rooms because of the two-bladed design. Pros

The Valiant FIR350 Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan which attaches to the flue pipe also needs to have access to cool air. Don’t place this at the bottom of the pipe near the stovetop, but move it a little way up the pipe. You may need to experiment with the distance as the fan still needs to be near the hot spots of the pipe. How do stove fan work? All Valiant heat powered stove fans are ideal for use on wood burning stoves in homes, narrowboats, or mobile homes, and can also be used on kitchen ranges and hobs.
