OK so I bought a us stove aps1100b for our cottage. It came with a blower. My question is can I use the stove without the blower since there is no electric? ( although I could plug into an inverter off a 12volt batt.) How less effective will it be without it ? Thanks BP the newbie

If your stove is free standing and not pushed back in a hearth, the non-use of a blower is not an issue. The blower only enhances the movement of the heat being produced by the stove and helps to spread it over a wider area.
