I hope all you basement folks get your radon levels checked. Mine in Utah (basement and upstairs) is very high. Everyone in our neighborhood is now adding radon reducing systems as word got out last year and everyone is testing 2 to 3 times acceptable levels.
 
I'm torn on the fan. I'll probably never get it if I don't get it now. But I'm not sure I need it since I can just run the house HVAC fan along with a couple free standing fans to move the air. I don't see a $500 advantage to having it on the stove. But it would be less cluttered than putting a fan on the floor in front of it.

Woody did I understand correctly that you did get the fan in the end and you use it to move the air?

I found the fans made a big difference on my Ashford 30.2

as word got out last year
Really just last year?? When were the home built? We know exactly what formation release radon. I’m quite surprised that unless it’s a new development it wasn’t on the states radar sooner. BTW anyone with well and high radon should have their water test for radon too.
 
Yeah people are just starting to realize the danger? Not sure why maybe everyone is in denial out there?
