Our Take
Last winter was rough – bitter cold temperatures kept the entire family inside seeking warmth from our wood burning stove. While we got a lot of use out of the stove last season, we were disappointed that the stove only kept a certain amount of space around it warm and was not able to move the warm air around the entire room. Before the cold weather sets in for this year, we decided to start looking for ways to solve this problem and came across the Caframo Wood Stove Fan.
This fan claims it can move the warm air from the wood burning stove around the room without using any electricity. This was very appealing to us since using the wood burning stove was a means for us to save on electric bills in the winter. We decided to take it home for a test run and, sure enough, when the wood stove reached the appropriate temperature, the fan kicked on and helped to begin circulating the air from the stove all around our family room.
The Caframo Wood Stove Fan was great for heating our family room. We found that only the furthest areas of the room remained a little chilly, which was not really a problem. However, if the room is larger, the small fan would more than likely need some help to get the warmer air to go through the entire room. Overall, we were very impressed with the fan and think it is an ideal solution for homeowners with smaller spaces trying to save money on winter utility bills.
