Blower or No Blower?

[swagler85]

Ok Newbie here, forst year heating with wood. Love it so far as I have not paid for any gas this year to heat my house. Question about the blower, I have a Country Hearth 2500. Stove came with a blower but I have not used it at all. Will I get more heat using the blower, or will it just circulate the heat more? thanks

The blower wont produce more heat, it just helps move the heat around. It will also help keep stove temps down some.

I'm glad I have a blower even though I almost never use it.

Always use my blower. Heat circulation......same reason your central furnace has a blower.
