Product Information

It follows then, that someone would create a solution to change the way the air circulates, so that the hot air gets more evenly spread through the room, which leads to a much more comfortable environment.

As for the maker, Hansa has always been an advocate for the environment, and this is mirrored in all the products that they have. They make every single product based on rigorous research, and they have the mission of producing innovative, modern, and high quality product. They also make sure they adhere not just to the expectations of customers but also to safety requirements and environmental protection standards. If heat is what you want, you have to accept that you’ll burn a lot of fuel. Right? Not necessarily. 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. This marginalised a huge chunk of the market, and a solution had to be found sooner rather than later. To operate on lower temperature stoves the SmartFan LT ranges have a special Peltier module installed that – unfortunately – won’t withstand any temperature above 190 centigrade so they cannot be used interchangeably on all kinds of stoves. Now you have your wood burning stove installed and have had it running for a few weeks, you may have noticed that there are cold spots in your room. Through your research you may have heard about stove fans. Maybe you know someone who has recommended using a stove fan to help with distributing the heat around your house. We have been in the stove fan business for a few years now and feel that we can help you answer your mounting questions:

Unfortunately, owners of inset or built-in stoves were unable to get the most from their appliance with a stove fan, as the fans were designed to sit on the flat stove top. Which is just inaccessible for the inset or built in stove. If you are still unsure about the effectiveness of stove fans and thinking the price of them can be quite an investment, we are very pleased to introduce a great little starter fan. It has a retro design reminiscent of the first fans to market from the big brands such as Caframo or Valiant nearly a decade ago. 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. The most powerful stove fans are those powered by a Stirling engine, like Vulcan or Warpfive – both of which are handmade and British.

Helps you save money. Your simple investment in a quality wood stove fan will bring great benefits to your wallet for years to come. Probably the most popular Stirling fan is the Vulcan. It was the first model of this kind on the market and for many years the only one available. It has many satisfied customers who are astonished at the idea of engaging the ingenious innovation of Dr Robert Stirling in driving the circulation of the stove heat around the room. As the construction of the fan proved successful only a few minor improvements have been introduced since it was released a few years ago; this includes the shape of the blades– the most visible change. The Vulcan stove fan is covered by a 3 year warranty– which is a lot when compared to Peltier stove fans – but the following Stirling fan brand has been boasting a lifetime warranty for all of their Warpfive models!We’ve been asked this question thousands of times through our online chat box or over the phone and, as there are very different settings of heating stoves, the answer isn’t simple. How big is your room? Is it an open plan room that you’d like to warm evenly? Another plus is the low starting temperature of 50˚C (lower than many of the other models here), meaning you can make the most of the heat given out by your stove as it comes up to its maximum temperature. How to choose the best stove fan for you: When choosing a stove fan that will be right for your home, you need to take into consideration how much space you have above your stove and how big the room your stove is located in is. Stove fans vary in the number of blades they possess, but a 4-blade fan is widely considered to be very effective. How we review stove fans

It has very large blades that produce a good volume of airflow, we could feel it from 6ft away (about 1.8m). The blades do give a quiet hum, but it is not intrusive. You can hear it when you are stood next to the fan, but it doesn’t disturb a conversation, the radio or the TV. The Sirocco stove fan is fitted with three screws in the base that can be used to get the fan level. If the fan is to be mounted on an inset stove door with the VMK, one of the screws will need to be removed and secured in an empty hole so that it isn’t lost. Aside from what you save by not using up too much fuel, the Sirocco also costs nothing to operate. All you have to do, literally, is put the fan on top of the stove, and then wait for the surface to be heated up. The Sirocco is capable of generating its own electricity, so you don’t even have to deal with all the hassle of batteries and power cords.This is because the heated surface of the Sirocco is large, and just by heating up this surface (by putting it on top of the stove), it can already generate a really large amount of power. What this means is that even if the heating process is over and done with, it can still operate for a longer period of time and continue to bring warmth to the room. The heat is maximized to its full efficiency, so you don’t have to keep worrying about added costs.The fan’s performance can be affected by a few other factors specific to the individual heating appliance surroundings, like the depth and shape of the recess, the height of an aperture etc. So, use your fan’s top handle to move it around the top plate of your stove to determine the right position for the best performance – just make sure you keep the fan away from the flue and never in front of it. If you decide to go for any of the SmartFans make sure you get yourself familiar with the illustration below as their positioning rules are slightly different. 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. Would stove fans work on Gas stoves? The Sirocco eco stove fan is a heat-powered, wood burning fan with a unique triple blade design. Made by Hansa, the Sirocco holds the prestige of being the grandest thermoelectric stove fan in terms of size. Its airflow of 350 m³/h is exceptional, and definitely makes it stand out.
