Has anyone installed an electric blower on their stove? I have 2 ecofans mounted on the stove (2nd/3rd level pipes) but I'm finding those don't push enough air into the room. I've also been experimenting with different fans/positions behind the stove but nothing has been able to push a sufficient amount of *hot* air to overcome the draftiness in my house (think old new england house). I can get air movement but its not exactly always warm. I suspect whatever fan/blower is used, it needs to be closer to the pipes to be effective.

Lastly, I saw the blower for sale on the wiseway website (https://www.wisewaypelletstove.com/product/electric-blower/) but was really hoping there's a cheaper solution than $400. Here's to hoping :)

Any and all suggestions, pics of installs, etc. are welcome, thanks y'all!

I am using a 5,00 fan I bought at the thrift store/2nd hand/ It looks
like a piece of 5" pvc with the fan at one end and blowing through
side slots into the room. I laid the fan on its side under the stove
blowing up. If too powerful a fan is used the air feels cold. When
installing and tuning furnaces I was taught that the air from a duct
should be 110 deg. fa. to feel warm. too much air is wind chill.

Appreciate the insight from your furnace experience! I'll try getting the air flow closer to the pipes and turn down the speed. Would love to see a pic of your setup if possible. Thanks again!
