Valiant Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan (FIR350), Black, 200 mm

Product Information

It is also a good solution for the stoves that are designed with a decoration on top, or are simply not perfectly horizontal for a stove fan to sit on. The chimney fans are intended for open and closed fireplaces and fit both brick stack and twin wall steel chimneys. Through a process (which we’ll explain shortly), log burner fans change the radiated heat that is coming from your stove into convected heat.

It has a clear line to indicate what is the best operational temperature for the stove and magnets, and will also indicate when it is reaching the maximum heat for the Peltier module inside. There is a safety strip on the base of the fan which is designed to gently lift the base of the fan to prevent it from overheating and damaging the motor. A stove fan is designed to equally distribute warm air across the room created by a gas or wood burning stove.

The fan has a built-in fail-safe system consisting of a pressure differential switch and a flow measuring system. In addition to a log burner fan, there are a few other accessories that’ll come in really handy once you start using your wood burner on a regular basis. It is an inexpensive device that not only helps to protect your fan, but also gives you a better understanding of the best operating temperatures of your stove. What I will say is that it certainly feels like it does a better job than some of the other models I have tried, so I have no reason to doubt this.

It is suitable for use with all flue pipes that have magnetic attraction and will fit onto most 10-17cm flue pipes. Mine is still working after nearly 3 years and I feel a lot of the alternative models out there have just tried to copy this model but without success. It takes no time to get up and running to help distribute heat throughout any living space, keeping you comfortable during cold spells. The Valiant FIR350 Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan has all the features of my Best Pick but has a strong magnetic clasp with which to cling to the flue pipe.

Behind this site is an actual real person who has worked and has experience with the types of products we review as well as years of knowledge on the topics we cover from actual experience. Has anything in the area of the house increased in height: such as a neighbour’s tree, a higher roof pitch, a new loft? Despite their revisions over the years the retro design of My Stove Fan will in no way affect the efficacy of its main purpose, which is to circulate the hot air around your room.

Below, we summarise the many different reasons why installing a log burner fan is a real no-brainer. I like the high-temperature tolerance of this stove fan (340°C) and the clamp itself can withstand up to 400°C. You can, of course, hire a professional to do it for you, but with the right tools and some simple instructions, you should be able to do it yourself. The law states that you must have your chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep, but the chimney sweep is not required by law to clean the chimney fan.When the chimney fan is switched on, a draught is created in the chimney and the fire burns cleanly and without smoking. The Caframo Ecofan 810 Ultra Airstove Fan has the smallest footprint of the models I review, but it has only two blades. If it keeps slipping off your stove and falling to your floor, even the most durable Skaat fans will become more prone to breaking!

This means it will operate more efficiently on a day-to-day basis, but also have a longer lifespan too. For a very long time the owners of any kind of built-in stove had been ruled out from being able to have a stove fan and the advantages they bring, as the fans were designed to be placed on a big, flat stove top, which obviously precludes the inset and insert stoves.

Remodeling their best selling Premium 4 stove top fan, Valiant have removed the base which stands on the stove top and replaced it with ‘magnetic wings’ that attach directly to most 4 – 7” (10-17 cm) flue pipes.
