Valiant Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan (FIR350), Black, 200 mm

Product Information

Stove fans don’t just improve the circulation of heat, they also boost the performance of your log burner too. Skipping the very technical aspects, this fan starts to operate at 70 °c, and its operates until 300 °C. An exodraft chimney fan prevents birds or dirt from getting into the chimney and blocking it, causing smoke to escape into the home.

A log burner fan is driven by the heat produced when the stove is on and the thermoelectric energy conducted by the Peltier module. However, it can sometimes take a little while for them to reach their optimum operating temperature. As with the other fans I reviewed, this VonHaus model is self-powered and doesn’t require any batteries or electricity. Whilst its six blades (in two sets of three) result in a relatively wider design, this stove fan still fits on most freestanding stove styles, so you shouldn’t have any problems installing it on an average-sized or small stove.

The instructions provided on receipt of the product, were to place the fan on the flue pipe when said pipe was cold – suggesting a minimum of 20cm above the stove-top, and maximum of 40cm. Please be aware that stove fans need to sit at the back of the stove, to the side of the stove pipe.

The SFR stove thermometer can be placed next to your fan or on the flue pipe as it comes with a screw and wire to secure mounting. The market is flooded with extremely cheap stove fans, as with every other product, you can always find some flimsy copies of the quality merchandise.A log burner fan, otherwise known as a stove fan, is a device that can be attached to a wood-burning or multi-fuel stove to improve how heat is circulated and distributed. For a very long time the owners of any kind of built-in stove had been ruled out from being able to have a stove fan and the advantages they bring, as the fans were designed to be placed on a big, flat stove top, which obviously precludes the inset and insert stoves. The way log burner fans work, as outlined earlier on, ensures that as soon as your stove begins generating heat, this heat is distributed around your living space, warming it up.

The fan’s base is equipped with three screws which act as feet and six threaded holes so the fan can be levelled if the stove top surface isn’t perfectly horizontal. it sits at the back of our recessed stove very nicely and does the job silently, it is a subtle change from before the fan I wouldn't say it's sooo much hotter but it is improved for sure.This way owners of the built in stoves can use the Sirocco Plus fan to get the heat distributed evenly around the room. Still, they have an effective heat distributing model in the VonHaus XL 4 Blade Stove Fan, which is for those with the space for a larger stove fan but is perhaps looking for a model that is a little more affordable. Some online reviewers say that this fan is noisy at some speeds/stove temperatures but others are okay with the sound level coming from it. For stoves that are inset or you do not have a large gap above the stove, there are models of stove fans that can be fitted directly to the stove doors.

It has a durable satin black anodised finish and looks just as stylish as its predecessors and will complement any fireside interior design. As with all Valiant stove fans the Remora fan creates a good air flow without being overtly noisy and disrupting the activities of the room it is in. Finally, this product is covered by a two-year warranty which is in line with the Valiant stove fans. The effect that the wind can have on the draught in the flue is offset by adjustment of the chimney fan.In operation, it takes no time to get up and running due to its easy starting motor (starting as low as 50-c), distributing heat throughout any living space, keeping you comfortable during cold spells. Don’t forget to check out our top recommended firewood storage racks, some even include accessories 3. There’s a general agreement amongst online reviewers that this model puts out more power than a three-blade model but there is some disagreement as to whether it is as powerful as a four-blade fan, which has larger blades. Most stove fans will start to work at around 50° to 65°C, while the maximum temperature is usually around 340°C.
