ECOFAN

[mhrischuk]

I personally do not care for ceiling fans. In our house it would look funny. If we modify anything it would be a gas furnace.... :gulp:

Everybody has their own situation. In your case the Ecofan would be a good addition.

What do you have now? Oil?

An Ecofan will do a much better job than almost any other fan, when the power is out. It's also a nice visual stove temp indicator.

Our power went out in those big eastern storms this year for 2-1/2 days. The house was still powered up with my portable generator... now if I run out of gas...

I don't know what made me think of this....but....
do you think there is someone out there with 2, 3,......, possibly 4 of these fans on their woodstove? :lol:
Ya never know...ya just never know... :-S

Not sure what your getting at, but, I ran two at the same time, on the same stove, for a few seasons. I now run one and a steamer, just ran out of room on the stove top. %-P

Well you know what that means.........It's either time for a bigger stove or it's time for a second stove.... :lol:

After I read all the reviews online about the ecofan, I could not help but wonder if 2 would work even better. I know how Mr Gamma thinks. I can see him being stoked about how 1 ecofan works and then taking it to the extreme...which he does now and then....with various things... You never saw him with a power washer... :ahhh:
All I can envision is coming home from work one day to a stove top full of ecofans... :lol: :lol: :smirk:
Did 2 ecofans really work better than one? I am just such a curious bugger.

Yeah I'll be running two, as soon as I can afford it. We now have our choice of electric or the much more desirable WOOD heat. I really could see where some would not like the ecofan, thinking it is going to do something incredible, it just moves air... :long: It is barely detectable but that is the objective. We are not looking for breeze just air exchange. I'll say it again, it's simple although expensive, but I recommend it. ;-)

Yes, two were better than one for me and my setting, at the time. Imagine; stove in the middle of a wide open 1000 sq.ft. level with one on each corner angled away from one another. I found, as others have, that the extremities were quicker to warm up and stayed warmer longer. I since have installed a mini-split system in this area and now the wood stove is more of maintainer than it is an essential.

Every situation/setting is different, they worked well for my application. (I cannot stand the constant "whirr" of an electric fan, no matter how silent they are supposed to be)

 

[RNLA]

Hard rock that is a good point with the noise of the electrical fan. To get lots of heat I still will use the "blower" but the pair of ecofans will be a mainstay. looks like it stoped turning now, time for another lod of wood.... :lol:

 

[GAMMA RAY]

I will have a blower on the 30...so is it better to utilize the ecofan(s) instead of the blower?????
Forgive my ignorance, but I only have one season under my belt heating with wood...... :smirk: So I really know chit...
and I am just curious....just wanna learn..
Blower vs. Ecofan????

That depends on your situation. I was heating a 1000 sq.ft. open area. Well insulated with modern windows. All I wanted was to expand the heat envelope. You may have to really blow your air around, depends upon your needs. To be honest, one of my priorities was a "silent" fan and I was was lucky enough to find the Ecofan did the job nicely for me.

I agree GAMMA, each house is different. If your running a free standing stove I would try it with the ECOFAN. The blower really throws heat out, the fan just helps to even things out.
