Hello,
The fan on my Drolet Savannah went caput (well, something popped on the chip--maybe a resistor? Might look into replacing that...) and I was curious about using a blower fan with a high CFM, even up to say 300 cfm and running a small duct to the back of the stove from the room on the other side of a wall directly behind the stove. I believe some of the blowers I am looking at are for forced air furnaces. I'm just curious if this would be overkill or if anyone has done something like this. It is appealing because it would be quieter since the fan would be on the other side of a wall (still only about 12 inches from the stove) and I could up the CFM quite a bit with a fan like this. Our house is roughly 1200 sq ft. The stove has the heat shield on the back and an inlet opening--I would just need to construct a small bit of ductwork, cut a hole in the wall for that and wire a switch to the fan on the other side of the wall. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
