Hello,

I would like to add Stoll wood burning grate heater or Spitfire fireplace heater with blower to Temco TLC 42-4.
I am trying to increase the amount of heat produced in the house versus going up the chimney. Any suggestions
appreciated.

Thanks

Im sorry to say , The temco wont throw much heat no matter what you do .
The heat just get sucked up and out of the house thru the chimney.
Most people just remove the old fire box and add A vent chimney and new wood burner.

Thanks for your reply. Would the Stoll or Spitfire fireplace blowers be safe to use with the Temco unit?
I use the fireplace just to heat a room about 20' x 20' in size (great room with cathedral ceiling). Thanks Penny
