Blower and stove performance

[Cburke]

Hey guys quick question does having the blower on while burning my woodstove cause the wood to burn faster? First season with one, just was curious. Thanks!

What kind of stove do you have?

Ok sounds good was just curious, it's a new learning curve, last year first year with an EPA stove got burning that dialed in, this year put the blower on and it's crazy how much lower my stove top temps are when the blower is on, but the fire is still the same. Guess it's a good thing to have if I let it get away from me by accident.

Running the blower obviously lowered the stove temps on my 17 a bit, but I never found it to be significant enough to really affect the burn or burn times. It did spread the heat in my house much better though. The blower really turned that little stove into one mean heating machine.

Yea same here didn't realize how much of a difference it made in getting the heat out into the room. Well worth every penny in my opinion!

Pretty much mirrors my own experience.
