The model is well made and makes a huge difference in heat distribution. The fan takes a short while to start after you light your log burner and it will even keep working long after the fire goes out.

Don’t place this at the bottom of the pipe near the stovetop, but move it a little way up the pipe. You may need to experiment with the distance as the fan still needs to be near the hot spots of the pipe. How do stove fan work? Without a fan, a lot of heat generated by a stove is lost as the air rises directly vertically. However, a stove fan uses its blades to divert the warm air horizontally filling the whole room as opposed to the area directly between the stove and the ceiling.So, although at first it might seem like magic, Heat Powered Stove Fans actually work based on the simple principle that if two dissimilar metals are placed together and heated, they will create a small voltage that can be enough to power a motor.

Overall, given Valiant’s sterling reputation and world class customer service, the Valiant Premium stove fan is highly recommended, though again, unless you have a fairly large room to move the air around, it may well be the case that this is actually more fan than you need. It’s a bit pricier than other models, but this is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. Most stove fans will start to work at around 50° to 65°C, while the maximum temperature is usually around 340°C. Many stove fans give an optimum operating range that starts 25°C or so higher than the starting temperature.

My review looks at the best and most popular stove fans currently on the market for the winter of 2021, 2033 and going into 2023. I list the features of each model (all very similar to be honest) and explain what it is about them that makes them important and useful. Most stove fans are designed to sit directly on top of the wood burner, but they shouldn’t be placed too close to the flue pipe – unless of course you buy a flue pipe fan, which are specifically designed to be fitted to the flue pipe and are particularly useful if your wood burner doesn’t have a suitable flat top for a standard fan. Do stove fans need batteries? Where it really helps though is that because the fan is not that tall, around 12.5cm, you only need 13cm clearance above the stove to use this fan. This compact model is perfect for those who have limited space above the stove, a significant advantage as many three and four-blade models are taller. This is really why I recommend this model in my review.The magnetic thermometer indicates the optimum burn temperature for your stove ensure the most effective and efficient heating results If a stovetop gets too hot it can actually damage the stove fan and void the warranty. I recommend you use a stove-top thermometer to monitor the temperature of the stove. Most stove fans have a maximum temperature that they can handle which is usually around 350°C. Fuel quality is the single most important aspect of making a successful fire. To burn effectively the moisture content of firewood needs to be less than 20%, whether it’s being used in an open fire or a stove. Freshly felled timber can have a moisture content of between 30% and 60%, which when burnt can cause dangerous creosote build-up in chimneys. It’s not a cheap option, but if you’re struggling with hot or cold spots, this powerful fan will help distribute the heat effectively and could make all the difference to how you use and enjoy your wood burner.
