Any idea how that compares in overall effectiveness/efficiency to blowing cold air towards the stove?
1) I can only suspect that even a small electric fan, directed at any part of a woodstove's vertical surfaces, would be far more cost-effective than a $50 heat-powered fan. (As others have previously opined).

2) As for a wood-fired cookstove, there are quite a few for sale nearby via FB. Some are finished in a beautiful copper-trimmed theme. ("Beautiful" in the eye of this observer).

I think it will throw off the same amount of heat as a woodstove, but less intensively. When not being used as a cooking surface, it's more than just furniture, but a wide, flat surface to lay out today's project.
