I would have thought the unit is to be installed behind the stove to keep the fans cooler. Is the hot stove air being blown through the fan blades or away from the fans?
It is blown away from the fans, far away. Before my purchase I checked if it was doable and many other people do it too, with success, so I took the chance. I don't have to use it constantly; when the temp. is comfortable I remove the blower.
Good to know it is working for you. Thanks for the tip. Tjernlund also makes the HotShot stove blower that scavenges heat off the top of the stove.

Two hours ago I started with a new load of oak in the Kent and I moved the blower from the top of the stove to the mantle, about 27 inches higher, considering the rising hot air would reach the blower anyway.
Now, 2 hours later, the T in the office is 74 F. Before I got the blower, the highest T I could get was 68F. So $118 well spent.
