What type and size fan should i use to move heat?
Someone told me to use a 3in fan and put it in the wamest inside corner of the celing to move the heat.
I have a problem heating the furthest room on the ground floor of were the insert is it seems that most of the heat goes up into the forer
 
A 3" fan seems kinda small... it probably won't move enough heat to do what you want done, which I'm presuming is to move heated air to other parts of your home.

Ceiling fans do a good job. If you set a portable fan on the floor, aim it toward the heat source. The warmer air will migrate to the cooler area as the cool air is removed.
