Is there anyway to turbo charge the air disribution fan on the stove? When one considers the large surface area of the heat exchanger,why not have a larger blower capacity? I see some stoves have blowers as large as 250 cfm. I know it would be louder but it would only be in turbo mode for short periods of time. I seem to recall an older Harman having a turbo mode.

The faster the air moves over the heat exchanger the colder the air is going to be coming out. Why would you want colder air coming out of your stove? I would think you want the air moving over the heat exchanger a slower rate so you get hotter air coming from the unit. Which is ullimately what you want to do correct?

The P38 is the unit with a turbo mode but using turbo mode on this unit would be no different then turning the P61 blower to high.
 
I think turbo charge would be overkill on this stove.
If we set the blower on high, the heat blasts us out of the room fast.
 
My XXV is in a very large area, about 600 sq. ft. of kitchen,dining and great room.Compared to my older Whitfield adv. 111 which only had 8 round tubes for a heat exchanger with a 150 cfm fan, one may think the XXV could use a larger fan to remove more heat before it goes up the pipe.
