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

Product Information

Fortunately, this stove fan is fitted with overheat protection in the form of a bi-metallic safety device. This will lift the base of the fan away from the stove if it starts getting too hot, preventing the motor from becoming damaged. What impressed me the most about this fan is its remarkable silence, even when operating at top speed. With noise levels below 25db, it creates a peaceful atmosphere without any distracting sounds. Despite its quiet operation, it manages to generate a noticeable breeze, demonstrating its impressive performance. Another user shared their experience of feeling the heat distribution a foot or two away in the direction the fan was blowing, although up close, they felt there was not a lot of airflow. However, they observed a significant increase in room temperature and mentioned the improvement in flow after changing the fan’s placement. The aim of a stove fan is to stop hot air from collecting around the wood stove, or from rising to the ceiling without benefitting the rest of the room. A stove fan will catch the heat before it has a chance to rise, and push it further out into the room. It will also improve circulation, better cycling warm air and cooler air throughout the space. The CWLAKON 2021 4 Blades stove fan was built with a hollow base design to help prevent potential overheating issues. A magnetic stove thermometer adds to this stove fan’s overall appeal as a bonus. Not to mention it makes it more user friendly.

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. Having personally used the Netta 4 Blade Mini Woodburner Stove Fan, I can confidently say that it is a fantastic choice for efficient heat distribution and a must-have accessory for small wood burners and fireplaces.I was particularly impressed by the silent operation of the fan. Despite its high rotational speed, it produced minimal noise, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Whether I was relaxing, working, or entertaining guests, the HAWCAFU stove fan provided a quiet and enjoyable experience. This stove fan has a starting temperature of 50 – 60°C; it will start to work without any need for electricity or batteries. It spins faster as the temperature of the fire increases, effectively pushing heat out into the room. When it comes to choosing the best stove fan, the most important things to look out for are: the number of blades, the CFM (cubic feet per minute) flow and any safety features. One other benefit of stove fans is that they can also help with distributing heat in small rooms where it may get too hot. They can work to create a more even temperature throughout the whole space.

So, do you need a stove fan? Most people find that they can benefit from using one. However, you may not need a stove fan if your stove is in a small room and you tend to sit close enough to feel its heat. Installing a stove fan may be unnecessary if you don’t have cold spots, hot spots, or issues heating the space effectively and efficiently. Remember that this is the exception to the rule, and stove fans are often the right choice. Where Do You Position a Stove Fan? Stove fans vary when it comes to their operating temperature range. The minimum temperature for operation and the maximum operating temperature can vary slightly. But typically, the best stove fans have a range that starts around 50°Cand maxes out around 360°C. While these are the extremes, each stove fan also has an optimum operating temperature range that falls within the operating range. Fan Speed (CMF Rating) 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.This stove fan also runs virtually silently, producing less than 25 dB. This is great news for creating a comfortable home atmosphere; it won’t interrupt any television programmes or music.
