Do wood burner fans work.

By now everyone who has a wood or multi fuel burning stove has heard of stove fans. You know the handy fan that sits on your stove top or attaches to the flue pipe or even to the stove door and promises to distribute the hot air around your room and saves you money. You don t need to connect to the electric power or buy batteries.

Wood burning stoves have become trendy. However you may still be on the fence about whether they genuinely work or if its just another one of those gimmicky gadgets that are a way of helping you spend your hard earned cash.
