I have a Quadrafire 3100 step top some will knoe just what this modle is for the rest of you it is a mediums sized air tight epa rated stove , it works very well for me
when it is 20 degrees out a small fire once the house is at temp will keep it 69 degrees all day long
but when Zero i need a hot fire kept going all the time to keep temp around 68
my question is for those of you who have a blower on your stove do you notice a big difference in the amount of heat it puts into the room when the blower is on vs when it is off
the blower for my stove is a bit pricy
currently i use a pedistal fan near the stove to blow over the top to move air in the room
i would especialy like to hear from anyone with a quadrafire as they have what they call radiant heat pannls , bassicaly side heat sheilds that give it very close toollerances to conbustables , the blower for the stove would force air up from the bottom in back thru the space made by thes pannles and it would exit at the top of the pannles , the air currenly moves this way thru natural convection ,but i would realy like optimize the heating capabilities of the stove
so please let me know do you knotice a big differnce with the blower on vs when it is off or before you had it.
