Fan died...new stove?

[HSBull]

Howdy folks,
I have a 12+ yr old Radiance gas stove that's fan is dying.
we have an open concept ranch with ceiling fans ever where including over the stove.
The previous owner said the stove heated the space well and so far I believe him.
When the fan is running it does through out a lot of heat.
So far 4 vendors have all said the same thing....fans are no longer available for the unit.
The question........does buying a new stove out weigh the cost of additional gas I will have to burn? ....and how many of you run your stoves without a stove fan.

Thanks in advance for any input
Al

Did you try here?

You will need to put in the model number of your VC Radiance Stove.

If you can't find one there, maybe your local hearthshop has one similar in size & shape that will work.

If not, then I would add another fan into the mix, say a box-type floor fan, blowing air towards the unit...

Good luck!

See if you can find a number on the fan. I have some old inventory fan kits sitting on a shelf. If we have a match, I'll be happy to work out out with you.

I looked up the kit number. It calls for a FK26 Vermont Casting fan kit. I'll look when I get back home to see if I have that kit. These are NIB, old inventory. Leftover stuff from when I was doing a lot of installs.
