Ecofans

[soxfan13]

Does anyone use an Ecofan? Do they work well or is it just a gimmick? Are they as quiet as advertised? Anyone know of a reputable place to get one online?

Thanks for any info.

We have a pretty easy to use search function available here, right up near the top of your screen. Here's a sampling to get you started:

Thanks

Meant to search before I posted but then got sidetracked by

1. the fire

2. the dog

Looks like the fan isn't worth the $

Ahh, I see you have skipped over the living life on the edge thread.

That's pretty much my take on 'em, but then my stove has a blower kit, so I need nothing beyond that. I think Be Green has, or has had in the past, one of these gizmos and as I recall he had good things to say about it. Rick

Neat gimmicks. I think there are better bang for the buck fans out there. Sometimes it's fun to spend the money we work hard for on fun things. If you think yo'll enjoy fiddling with it, go for it.

I was actually considering buying it as a gift for my brother. I have the Jotul Rockland insert with blower, so I have no need for it.

I'll sell you mine cheap!

Running almost silently on the stove now. Going on it's 6th or 7th season? I've lost track. I use it as much as a remote visual temp gauge as a means to gently nudge heat to the kitchen. We're happy with it, but didn't have unrealistic expectations.

For moving more heat, it's better to blow the air from the colder space towards the stove which is contrary to having a fan on the stove.
