One common problem for the wood insert is that it won't spread out the heat that much during power outage and the fan stop working. But I guess that the electric power to turn the fan is not that much, and I've heard that the draft from chimney is pretty strong. So if we can put a small fan-generator on the chimney, we may be able to get over that problem during power outage.
Just wondering...anyone did this before? Or any advise on how strong is the actual draft from chimney? How will this impact the burning efficiency? My chimney is not that easy to climb so I don't have any way to verify it myself.
