Hey to everyone!!
We are two young adults, Despina 22 and Deivids 23 renovating an old farm house from 1817 in Latvia. Everything in and out of our house has been done by ourselves with no hired help. Soooo far everything is going great and there haven't been any incidents.
DIY is going to apply to nearly everything in our house. Our budget is tight and that has made us appreciate every "ugly" part of this house and turn it into something new and beautiful.
We give new life to things that others would throw away!

In this journey we are not alone! We are starting up our little Farmily and part of it are
3 goats
1 Mom Sheep & 2 Baby Sheep
4 chickens
1 rooster
and 2 geese
Oh yeah and my cat Ivi

Despite our daily problems we are two young people full of joy and happiness, ready to start a new crazy chapter in our life. It wouldn't be fair to keep this fun for us!
that's why we want YOU to be also part of our Farmily!!

Hope you enjoy our video!

I've had mine for 5 years. Works great on my wood stove. I just put a shelf on my buddy heater and now I use the fan on the buddy heater and it works great as well.

Adding to the comment below, they work via a component called 'Peltier' plates. When you apply power to the two wires it will heat one side and cool the other OR you can switch that around and HEAT one side of the plate and it generates power to, in this case drive a small motor.. and yes you can get and make these into phone chargers you place onto a hot surface (there are numerous YT vids on how-to) pretty neat!

Remember, in the winter, pull warmer air up. In the summer, reverse the fan and push the air down. If you try to push hot air down, against its natural tendency to rise, it will take more work and results in cooling the air.

It looks to me like you've got bricks stacked right up against the back of the stove. If that's true, don't do that. You need air surrounding the stove, so that it can be heated and rise. Don't restrict it.

I have found out from my personal experience that a slow moving Ceiling fan works best. I have 4 oil lanterns that I use with my Ceiling fan and the Ceiling fan circulates the heat from the 4 oil lanterns very well and I'm talking about a medium size 19ft x 14ft room roughly with the door entrance cracked open about 1 inch for ventilation. The Ceiling fan also does even better on extremely sub freezing temperature days when using my kerosene heater and entrance door cracked slight open for ventilation.

Hi, we live off grid. Cold winters. On those very cold days/nights we open the stove door placing a wood stove screen over the front. Now the heat comes into the room more instead of all going out the pipe. Oh, our fan works great any place on the top, think ours is one size up from what yours are.
I was always told don’t use rocks or bricks with the wood stove because they explode? Anyone else hear that? I really enjoy your videos, never lose your excitement and joy in what you are doing. Be safe, be well.

Got my wife one for Christmas. Looking forward too trying it out ..

[jacksonirving]

Our ( I actually put my by accident) but anyhow, we have got our new fire place luckily with enough room above the stove too put a fan on top of OUR new eco stove.. Cant wait too see if it works... I said my at first because I'm in charge of maintenance, glass cleaning emptying Ash out and find the wood.. But I find a stove therapeutic in so many ways.. ❤️ Thanks for sharing..

[DVILCHIZF]

They definitely work, I have two of them 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Move fans to back of heater top blow hot air from stove. Better maybe. Thanks for video

[Ramon-lpfp]

I had a tiny electric heater that couldnt heat up the room . I had a box fan and put it behind forcing more air. And the room is toasty. It literally went from being like a fridge to nice and warm so take what you will from that.

[WhatDadIsUpTo]

I have a similar situation with just one fan, but I face the fan to blow cold room air against the hot 🔥 chimney. I think it works better.

[TRguy]

I'm going to purchase one of these fans, my home is well insulated and the wood burning fireplace insert has hot air outflow venting in which I can set the fan above this vent to push that already hot air better through the room.

[tigertigrakos]

Mpravo ! From Greece you made a real factory ! My english are not good but I understand you !!! A real enginear ! Archimides !

[dianamariagabrielapellegri]

Haha your house looks like my house and you look like my partners son born. Thanks for info, i think i try them out cause cost is low and electricity is not needed.

[jackbrown]

They defintely do aid in circulating the warm air, IMO their main strength is after initial start up . I think they make heating a room up happen slightly faster, and as they cost nothing to run its a result .

[kalmurphy]

I have them on my wood stove and they are great and they will warm up lot of space.

[jessicaantonievic]

Add room ceiling fan blow heat from up high down have had this set up in my last house works great

[bernardhvanengen]

Several other people have already pointed out that the fans work best at the back of the stove. The principal of the operation is a bimetal element at the bottom that functions by the temperature differential between the bottom being heated and cooling the top side via the cooling ribs above it! Place the fan on the perimeter of the stove directing it towards the centre will give the best results.

[ralphbaker]

One of the most effective fans I've seen are those that are built into the stove itself. It takes the heat from around the fire box itself. They are often part of what's called zero clearance fire places. Another good fan is one that is built into the stove pipe itself. it can be bought separate and installs in the flue pipe. But be aware that that type of fan is efficient enough to actually cool the escaping smoke going up the chimney. This results in a need to clean the stove pipe of a bigger creosote build up that you wouldn't get if the escaping gases were hotter.
