Hi guys,
My mother in law has a freestanding summit classic and hasn't been to enthused about the heat it puts out. I tested the moisture content of some logs off her stack and they were low.

Ive been searching for a good blower for her but am not sure which would work best. Can someone give me a recommendation or a link to look at?

They sometimes use a box fan behind it but that dosent help too much in my opinion. she would probably would like one that is somewhat hidden or at least low profile, if that exists. Thank you for any advice, I dont know much about these stoves, and my blower is built in to my stove.

Thanks

There is a gap behind the stove with a two or so inch gap on the bottom. I'm guessing think where the blower could be mounted?

Sorry this is basic, the search function is producing too many results to help me.

The "gap" is the heat shield. The one in the pic blows up through the space between the heat shield and the back of the firebox. Pretty much what factory blowers do.
