Does anyone use a heat powered fan on top of their pellet stove? If you do, do they work well?
 
It's a gimmick & since your pellet stove already HAS a distribution blower, it's not needed.
I had one with my Blaze King King Wood Stove. I doubt it would run on my Pellet Stove Now. It's just warm, not hot (Harmon XXV).

On the WS it would move air and I liked to think it took the place of 2 whiny small fans on the stove. But you had to really put your hand on the fan to feel it. It would spin like mad. I gave it with with WS and Wood.

My Pellet stove's fan is like hurricane compared to ECHO Fan (Heat Powered). But it was neat and gave me visual indicator of how hot the stove was. Worth 100 bucks. No.
