Just purchased a new Qudrafire 5700 step top stove. Trying to determine if I should install a blower on the stove. The unit Qudrafire offers costs $300.00+, does anyone have another option or work around.

Ceiling fans & box fans can work just as well, if not better, cost LESS & they are not as noisy. I would try it without the OEM blower & see how it works. You can always add the blower unit later...
 
Whether you will benefit from the blower depends somewhat on the house design and stove location. Tell us a bit more about the setup.
