Stove fans are a fantastic innovation that can dramatically improve the warmth given out from your stove. Whilst your stove may look the part, be easy to operate and be relatively inexpensive to maintain and run, it can take a while for it to warm up a room, especially a big room. Using a stove fan will heat the room up in a fraction of the time, and is a really easy way to maximise the warmth you get from your stove. A stove fan will also reduce the heat dependency from your stove thereby saving you money in the long term on fuel costs. The Valiant FIR350 Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan which attaches to the flue pipe also needs to have access to cool air. 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?

Heat Powered Stove Fans | Simply Valiant

The Premium 4 Fan requires no batteries or external power. The heat of the stove top is conducted through the base of the fan and converted to electricity which powers the fan motor. The fan automatically slows and stops as the heat from the stove reduces. The Premium 4 Fan requires no batteries or external power. The heat of the stove top is conducted though the base of the fan and converted to electricity which powers the fan motor. The fan automatically slows and stops as the heat from the stove reduces. The fan will start to disperse the heat from your stove as soon as it reaches 50°C, making the most of the heat from soon after you light it, and in combination with the temperature gauge you will really be able to maximise efficiency.

Save fuel and heat your home more evenly and efficiently with these cleverly designed stove fans

It’s not all style over substance, though: this fan has a brilliantly safe design compared to the majority of fans with their exposed metal blades, and features silicone blades that are housed safely within the main body. It’s also a compact fan yet, for its size, is efficient and features a unique convection chamber that helps recover wasted heat from your stove so that it can be distributed throughout the room. 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. Place the Thermometer on the top, front, or side of a flat or curved surface. The built-in magnet will maintain its hold on steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).

Valiant Premium 4 Stove Fan - Stove Supermarket

All Valiant heat powered stove fans are ideal for use on wood burning stoves in homes, narrowboats, mobile homes and can also be used on kitchen ranges and hobs in contemporary and traditional environments. Valiant offers 3 different heat powered fans, simply choose the model to suit your budget and style. Valiant Premium 4 Stove Fan Dimensions: The fan’s maximum temperature tolerance is 340°C and you can always raise the fan further up the flue pipe if the bottom of the pipe gets hotter than this (make sure you do this after it’s cooled!). Another major plus is that this Remora Magnetic Flue Stove Fan comes with a two-year warranty. As already mentioned in this review, many other brands offer a standard one-year warranty, so the extra coverage is really a bonus just in case your fan fails. Pros As with the other fans I reviewed, this VonHaus model is self-powered and doesn’t require any batteries or electricity. Instead, a thermoelectric power generator module works with the heat from the stove to generate an electric current to start the fan’s motor. The stove fan works automatically between 50°C and 350°C. Our Heat Powered Stove Fans circulate the warm air created by your stove, into the room. Sitting on top of the stove, our fans gently and silently moves warm air further into your living space, resulting in less heat rising and escaping through your chimney. Which means you say toasty and use less fuel. Both the blades and base of this stove fan are constructed from premium anodised aluminium, making the fan highly resistant to rust and corrosion. The fan begins to operate when the base reaches 65°C. The optimum operating range is a respectable 85°C to 350°C. The six-blade design provides impressively high power, offering twice the power of regular three-blade stove fans.Fortunately, I review the Valiant FIR350 Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan. This stove fan has a strong magnetic clasp with which it can cling to the flue pipe. VonHaus is a well-regarded name in the home improvement field but they are certainly not experts in stove fans like Valiant are. Still, they have an effective heat distributing model in the VonHaus XL 4 Blade Stove Fan, which is for those with the space for a larger stove fan but is perhaps looking for a model that is a little more affordable. All Valiant heat powered stove fans are ideal for use on wood burning stoves in homes, narrowboats, mobile homes and can also be used on kitchen ranges and hobs in contemporary and traditional environments. Valiant offers 4 different heat powered fans, simply choose the model to suit your budget and style.
