Various sizes to fit your needs. Owl Spend time with your kids while THEY still have time Your life is an occasion ..... Rise to it

Kiln bricks even out the heat a lot. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." -Edmund Burke "We are fast approaching... rule by brute force." -Ayn Rand

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 America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Feedinggrounds trapper Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 2,785 Northern lower Michigan	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're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
