My buck insert has a 110v blower that uses a close-by outlet. Maybe for safety from over-cooking, the blower should run by the thermostat control unless the doors are wide opened, then the heat is dissipated by that means (I reckon). This insert is a double walled system that normally (or never, as far as I know) does not get hot enough to boil water on the smallish shelf. Buckstove homebase suggested such procedure and did not really get specific.
My question is about this stove and a power outage. If the blower does not function during a power outage, does this mean that I would be safely burning with stove doors open only ? I am strongly considering purchasing a small 110v inverter to use in such emergencies so that the blower can remain running. Removal of a car battery and hooking up for a temporary fix to the blower would be an easy enough solution if needed in such a pinch. I wonder how long a common 12v car battery would run the small fan motor that is probably similar in all insert situations.
Is this a back-up idea or solution for veteran wood burners ?
