The ones that sit on the stove and work through the heat generated, do they pump more heat into the room? and can you get ones that strap onto the stove pipe as my stove does not have a flat surface.
Stove Fans, are they any good,

Our stove top fan does a good job at moving the heat a little further into the room. I find it distributes the heat a little quicker than just letting the stove do its work. Not cheap though, ours was $150. I never had a blower so I can compare which one is more efficient. Since most of the heat sits near the ceiling, maybe you can mout a ceiling fan or something else to move the air.
I've had one on the stove for many years now. It creates a nice gentle circulation of heat and keeps our house temps quite even. But it's not going to work for your application. As noted, it needs a flat surface stove surface to rest on. I haven't seen any for the stove pipe.
You might have better luck with a near silent table fan placed on the floor in a cooler part of the house blowing the cold air, towards the stove. Warm air will replace the cool air.
