Looking for a fan/blower for my Hearthstone

[gezellig]

I recently bought a Hearthstone Heritage stove, and am thinking of putting a fan/blower on it. Am I limited to what Hearthstone offers? Or are there other options?

Does it have a heat shield on the back ? is it open at the bottom ?

I believe you're limited to what HeartStone has. You will need the rear heatshield for it also. The blower pushes air between the heatshield and the back of the stove.

I have the Heritage with the heat shield and blower, and looking at it, once you have the rear heat shield I think you can prefab a blower to it. As said above, the heat shield just mounts on the back and the hot air that is trapped there is vented out over the top of the stove. It does keep the heat off anything that is behind the stove, and works very well.

Roospike,
yes, it has a heat shield, and it is open on the bottom.

#1 You can get the blower from hearthstone ( $200.-$300. ? )
OR
#2 You can do what i did and buy a 160 CFM adjustable blower off Ebay for $99. or so and put it on the floor behind your wood stove pointing up. Works great and saved a lot of $$.

The is where i bought mine and the blower works great .
