Has anyone used one of these before?
Instead of blowing the air out, it pulls the air down and scross the stove..

The video is pretty cool on it.

I wonder how well it would with the restriction of being on the top of a stove compared to sitting on a pedestal.

Looks like it's intended to sit on the hot stove surface. But it will need a big stovetop. That sucker is 14" in diameter.

Oh, geez, look at the price!

What do you wanna bet the military price had an extra zero on it?

At the beginning of the video the hot plate is 600 deg. Watch closely at the 2:30 point in the video. Did you see him quickly crank up the knob on the hot plate? Fan really sped up after that. Sneaky.

No bet, BeGreen. No bet.

Yeah. My outside cat now has a heavily foam insulated house made from a new military electronic equipment case with a door cut in the side of it. I figure that the taxpayer probably paid five grand for my cat's shelter.

I paid $10 for it. With the equipment still unused inside of it.

Great catch on that. I never noticed it until I you said that. He does it in such a way that most would never notice it. I wonder how he is at cards :smirk:

Thanks for the replies.
I didn't notice the extra crank either.
This guy would make a good magician.

But, one thing this does tell me, this fan would not work on my stove since its normal operating temp is between 400-550. It would probably work best for one of those pre-epa stoves, or even a barrel stove.
