What’s wrong with a regular box fan? That’s what we have around our wood stoves. Simple, cheap, and moves heat around good. Various sizes to fit your needs.

I've heard those magic heat fans do a good job, I have no personal experience with them though.

Baffles and stove top fan didn't do much for me. Those fans are really cool looking though. Never tried a heat reclaimer.
Kiln bricks even out the heat a lot.

Stove top fan. Doesn't use any power, quite and moves more air than you think!

the magic heater cools the flue temp too much for some chimneys and that makes creosote and that makes fires.
I have an old fan before the safety grate
a ceiling fan is ideal moves the air in the whole room and you might already have one
I am getting around to getting a ceiling fan in the living room where the stove is

I use a Eco Fan brand. I have it setting on a 120 year old cast iron potbelly stove, out of a train caboose, in my little off grid cabin. One of the highest rated. Right around $100.00 its silent and I don't know how I did without it. I was using a 12 volt cab fan for construction equipment. It was noisy and needed a battery. The Eco fan is cool, after a while you know exactly when to add wood as the speed slows.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

The one in your pic looks just like a Eco fan, they are many types on Amazon. Eco fan had best ratings. But I found it cheaper at Tractor supply and no shipping.

You gonna loose a little heat, but you are gonna save a lot of trouble if you just run your pipe straight up. Put a tiny fan behind it to move the air a bit. Just my opinion.

In regards to needing more wood you can also tell when the stove is too hot.
