Offering good value for money, this Tomersun 3 Blades Heat Powered Stove Fan spreads heat around the room whilst working virtually silently.
This heat powered stove fan is made of black aluminium which blends in well with most stoves so it doesn’t draw unnecessary attention to itself. It’s also a quiet stove fan and the limited noise means it’s not distracting whilst it’s running. However, if placed on an uneven surface, the fan may become more audible.
This stove fan has a starting temperature of 50 – 60°C; it will start to work without any need for electricity or batteries. It spins faster as the temperature of the fire increases, effectively pushing heat out into the room.
There is a bi-metallic strip on the base which helps stop the stove fan from suffering heat damage; however, a thermometer should still be used to make sure that the stove isn’t getting too hot.
This stove fan measures 22 cm tall by 18 cm wide and 9 cm deep so it has a very small footprint overall, making it suitable for sitting on most stovetops.
All things considered, this is one of the best stove fans. It offers great value for money as one of the cheapest options on this list yet is still reported to work very effectively at circulating heat in an efficient and quiet way.

If you’re after a way to distribute heat from your wood stove around a small room, the NETTA 4 Blade Woodburner Stove Fan offers an effective solution. This small fan efficiently circulates heat around compact spaces.
This heat-powered stove fan activates quickly and runs quietly. Once the temperature of the wood stove reaches 50°C, the fan begins turning automatically to circulate the hot air. Occasionally, it may require a little nudge to help start it off.
This stove fan is very easy to use and simply sits on top of any wood burning stove. It’s lightweight and well constructed. Standing at 20.5 cm, it’s reasonably tall so you’ll need to make sure you’ve got enough space to accommodate it. Having said that, it’s still relatively compact, with the base measuring just 10 x 17 cm.
Overall, this is the best heat powered stove fan for small rooms, particularly if the heat from the wood stove often seems to get caught around the stove itself and does not easily spread to the rest of the room. This stove fan is also extremely quiet and shouldn’t cause a disruption when listening to the radio or watching TV.

A good choice for larger wood burners, the LUCKYDA 4-Blade Heat Powered Fan consists of a reasonably large fan and base. It’s a good option for small/medium sitting rooms, studies and conservatories.
This stove fan has four blades which help distribute air away from the wood stove and out into the rest of the room. It’s 23 cm tall, with a base that measures approximately 21 x 12.5 cm.
The stove fan automatically starts turning when hot air is produced by the stove. Instead of allowing the stove’s heat to rise and get caught by the ceiling, the blades push the heat out into the room.
It’s been designed to work between 85 – 350°C; however, you need to be careful that your stove does not exceed this maximum temperature as otherwise the fan and its components can get damaged.
This fan runs quietly, though it should be noted that it can occasionally wobble when turning at higher speeds due to its height. This often occurs if one blade is a little out of position, so you may need to manipulate it back into the correct place once the stove fan has cooled and stopped turning.
A final benefit of this LUCKYDA stove fan is that it is available in three different colours. You can buy it with black blades, gold blades or nickel blades to match the décor of your living room or kitchen.

Tips For Buying a Wood Burning Stove Fan
- When it comes to choosing the best stove fan, the most important things to look out for are: the number of blades, the CFM (cubic feet per minute) flow and any safety features.
- Look for a heat powered stove fan with 3 or 4 blades. These are best suited to small and medium domestic rooms. Alternatively, a dual fan, or multiple small fans, may be the best option for larger spaces – these provide the power of a larger model but within a compact size. A fan with a base of around 15 cm will fit on most stoves, distributing warmth without getting too close to the flue pipe.
- A CFM rating is a good indication of how much warm air the fan can circulate, although not all stovetop fans will state this. Generally speaking, 130 – 180 CFM is sufficient for most standard, domestic rooms.
- When it comes to safety features, the best stove fans are fitted with a bimetallic strip or spring on the base. This will lift the fan away from the stove if temperatures get too hot.
- Finally, I recommend checking the stove fan’s operating temperature. You want the stove fan to start turning automatically when the air temperature above the stove reaches 50 – 60°C; this sensitivity is sufficient for most homes.

How to Choose The Best Wood Burning Stove Fan
Whilst a wood burning stove can certainly add a bit of warmth to a room, the heat tends to congregate around the fire itself. This can lead to the corners of the space feeling cold, no matter how much fuel you throw on the fire. A stove fan placed on top of the unit can help maximise the heat output from the fire, stopping valuable heat from escaping up a chimney or rising to the ceiling where it’s no good to anyone.
One other benefit of stove fans is that they can also help with distributing heat in small rooms where it may get too hot. They can work to create a more even temperature throughout the whole space.
When it comes to buying a stove fan, there can be some variation in design, as well as price.
Take a look at this guide to learn what to look out for, and what to avoid, when buying a stove fan.
How Stove Fans Work
Stove fans don’t require any power supply or batteries. They start turning when the wood burner reaches a certain temperature. The heat from the stove activates the stove fan’s Peltier device which causes the blades to turn. The stove fan needs to be positioned with cold air behind it in order to work effectively. For this reason, fans should be placed quite near the back of wood burning stoves. If a stove fan is positioned too far forward, it will fail to work properly.
Because these heat-powered fans don’t require mains power or batteries, they cost nothing to run and are very convenient to use. There are are no batteries or wires to worry about and yet the stove fan can still dramatically help with heat distribution in rooms heated by log burners.
The aim of a stove fan is to stop hot air from collecting around the wood stove, or from rising to the ceiling without benefitting the rest of the room. A stove fan will catch the heat before it has a chance to rise, and push it further out into the room. It will also improve circulation, better cycling warm air and cooler air throughout the space.
Without a stove fan, there is a risk that all of the warmed air will stay close the the wood stove and won’t be felt in other parts of the room.

Size and Design
The size and design of the stove fan that you choose requires careful consideration.
Firstly, it’s important to think about how much clearance you have above your stove to accommodate a fan. Many log burning stoves are tucked into alcoves or fireplaces in our homes. When wood burning stoves are positioned in alcoves, there’s all the more reason to get a stove fan because hot air can become trapped in the enclosed space; however, the size of the alcove or fireplace may limit which fan you can buy.
As well as considering the height of the fan for clearance, you’ll also need to consider the stove surface. The base size of stove fans can vary, and some models may not suit your stove, particularly if the stove surface is small or raised.
Some stoves will have a larger surface area on top, which will accommodate a larger fan base. Others may not have much room at all. For this reason it’s important to consider the size of fan you can feasibly buy – not all stove fans will be compatible with all stoves.
Then there’s the fact that you don’t want to ruin the look of an attractive a log burning stove with a bulky, unattractive stove fan.
So, here are the things you need to consider when gauging what size stove fan to buy:
- When placing the stove fan on top of your wood stove, it needs to be as far away from the flue pipe as possible and on a level surface. Already, this may limit the amount of space you have available for a stove fan, even before taking headroom into account.
- If the stove fan is too close to the flue pipe, the likelihood of it getting too hot increases.
- Stove fans should not be placed at the front of the wood stove, but along the side or at the back (so that they work effectively). For these reasons, it’s important to take the size of the stove fan’s base into consideration.
If there is only a small gap between the wood stove and the wall above it, you’ll need to buy a stove fan that’s sufficiently compact. Even a stove fan that is just 15 cm tall can make a difference to the distribution of warm air in a room. However, you are unlikely to find a fan that is much smaller than this, whilst still being functional and worthwhile.
If you only have space for a small stove fan, but want the power of a larger model, it’s possible to use more than one fan at a time (as long as there is sufficient surface area on top of your stove). You can either use several smaller fans, or buy a unit that uses dual fans supported on one base.
In terms of design, try to choose a stove fan in a colour that complements your existing stove. A lot of stove fans are black, which helps them blend in with wood burners. You can also find designs that feature copper or metallic elements, which may look good aesthetically alongside a stove with similar attributes.

Number of Blades
The fight rages on about how many blades make for the most effective stove fan. You can easily find models with two blades, or six blades, and everything in between. So how do you decide which is the best stove fan?
Whilst a lot of people consider fans with more blades to be most effective, it depends on more than just numbers. The shape and size of the blades also plays a part. Because there is so much differentiation between models, one of the best things to do is read customer reviews to get a better feel for how the stove fan works in the real world.
The most commonly found designs seem to have either three or four blades and work effectively.
Stove Fan Style
Aside from the number of blades, stove fans can also come in a couple of styles. These styles can essentially be broken down into three categories:
- Single-fan stovetop units
- Double-fan stovetop units
- Stovepipe fans
Whilst all of these fans are effective, there may be some instances where certain styles make more sense than others.
For example, if you don’t have a very big stove, you are unlikely to have enough space for a double fan. A double fan is a single unit that supports two fans. However, if you do have sufficient room on top of your stove, you may be able to fit a dual fan.
Stovepipe fans are the best option when you don’t have a lot of space on your stovetop or have a ‘canopy’ stovetop that isn’t flat. If you don’t have a flat surface on top of your stove, you won’t be able to use a standing wood stove fan so a stovepipe fan is a good option. Stovepipe fans are also an excellent auxiliary option if you already have a stovetop fan but want to fit another fan on as well. A stovepipe fan wraps around the flue pipe itself. It does not have a stand.

Heat Sensitivity
Starting Temperature
Stove fans don’t start running as soon as the wood stove is lit, they usually jump into life when the stove heats up and a certain temperature is reached.
Many stove fans have a starting temperature of 60°C although there are models which have a higher sensitivity. As long as the stove fan advertises that it will start turning at temperatures between 50 – 85°C it should be sufficiently sensitive to get going quickly.
Safety
A lot of stove fans have some form of safety mechanism to protect them from the heat of the wood stove. This comes in the form of a bi-metallic safety device: either a spring or metallic strip.
When the bi-metallic strip senses that the stove is too hot, it expands and lifts the base of the fan away from the top of the stove. As a result, the body of the stove fan is somewhat protected from the heat of the stove. This usually happens at temperatures over 300°C , and it’s a good idea to use a stove thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature of the stove – too hot a fire can damage the stove itself, as well as a fan on top.
Most stove thermometers will attach directly to the flue pipe via magnets. These are the easiest thermometers to use and read. They make it easy to check the temperature of your stove at a glance, and ensure it is not reaching a zone that is too hot. If your wood stove does not have a magnetic flue pipe, you will need to consider a different type of stove thermometer.
Wood Burning Stove Fan FAQs
Do stove fans really work?
While not comparable to switching on a radiator, stovetop fans have been shown to increase the temperature in the room and maximise the efficiency of your log burning stove. A heat powered fan works by pushing hot air around the room, reducing the heat intensity directly in front of the stove and allowing it to reach the far corners of the space. Seeing as they stop warm air from clustering at the front of the stove, they help to distribute heat more evenly around the room.
Do I need a stove fan for my stove?
Whilst it’s not compulsory to use a stove fan, many people choose to have one in order to maximise their stove’s efficiency. There is a possibility that using a stove fan will allow less logs to be used on the fire, because the heat will be felt better in more parts of the room. Whilst this isn’t guaranteed, the effects of using a fan do generally seem beneficial and improve the stove’s heating efficiency.
Where should I place my stove fan?
Stove fans should ideally be placed towards the rear of your stove, and you should ensure that the top of your stove is completely level. A stove fan should be positioned as far away from the flue pipe as possible, and there should be a small gap between the fan and the wall at the back to allow cooler air to pass behind it.
