The marble lintel and mantlepiece are noticeably cooler than before because the air is pushed out into the room rather than just rising up out of the recess to hit the underneath of the mantlepiece. For example: our tried and tested Glass Cleaning Solution is suitable for any glass surface around the home, not just stove glass. The blades are not only durable, but they promise to resist being deformed by the heat from your stove. However those fans’ optimal operating temperature is at top or even beyond the temp range of that kind of stoves.

These features allow it to be virtually silent while working, even at its highest speeds, with less than 20dB noise level. We recommend using a stove or infrared thermometer to control the temp of the stove top and keep it within the best operating range of your fan as well as avoid overheating it. This year, Valiant had two new products to showcase: the new colour indicator moisture meter and the Vanquish 250 Stove Fan.Those that use the Seebeck Effect to turn the fan blades, and those designed around a Stirling Engine, which is an external combustion engine. This rapid succession provides power that transforms the heat energy to mechanical energy used to turn the fan blade.

This should be no surprise as the dual fans are highly effective and can spin at fast speeds of 1970 revolutions per minute. A lower start temperature, increased efficiency and a greater output were the objectives; what we achieved with the development of our Premium 4 fan exceeded all our expectations and sales have been a testament to this. We chose not to include any of this particular type of stove fan on our list and focused only on the more traditional heat powered design. When a certain temperature is reached, they turn on or off without any need for direct help from you.

The bottom line here is this: the higher the level of heat, the quicker the blade rotation and expended power. The best stove fans are a great way to improve the circulation of the heat produced by your wood burner. Unlike some of the more expensive fans, the blades won’t start turning until the stove top reaches 100°C, but the maximum temperature is comparable to the pricier fans at an ample 340°C. While many stove fans are easy to install, this one comes with a magnetic base and an adjustable bandthat connects to the stove’s flue pipe.

It’s available in six muted contemporary colours and has a robust round steel construction with a trendy leather handle on top. It is well made, looks fine on the top at the rear left ( not spoiling the look too much), angled so that the air traverses over the long diagonal of the stove top), starts at 50C and works fine up to the highest tempera ture I generally run at (c250C). This heat powered stove fan is made with strong anodised aluminium, which gives it a high-temperature resistance.However, we’re delighted to say that this year the effects are a lot slower thanks to our ‘evergreen’ range of accessories.

If you want to heat your room even faster, just get a roaring fire going and watch those fan blades spin - the faster they go, the faster you will get warm. The Vanquish 250 stove fan is self-powered: it uses the heat from the stove to generate power; no batteries or mains power supply are needed!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. The Vanquish 250 has unrivalled output pushing out up to 90% greater airflow than other designs, making it especially suited to larger rooms. It depends on whether you can hear the high pitch of a fast running fan, but I don't find it obtrusive. There is not a gale, but you can feel a light warm air stream in a line from the fan and our large room warms more quickly than before. As you may have suspected, the overall quality of a stove fan should be taken into account when determining which ones qualify as the best.
