To go along with the woodstove blower question...
I heat with a medium sized Regency fireplace insert. It has served us well for several years.
Does not using the blower markedly decrease the efficiency of the unit's ability to heat? It seems to me that
not using the blower would allow the heat to release more slowly, and thus heat a room over a longer period of time. If
true, it would seem to me that turning off the blower would be the optimal solution after building the last fire of the night...let
it heat slowly overnight.
Am I correct in thinking this, or does the lack of use of a blower significantly decrease the BTU's released from the insert into the home?
