My Ecofan arrived and we put it to work yesterday. I must say it is encouraging to buy a product that does exactly what it claims to do.
It really works well and spreads the heat around the room. It also serves as a good indicator of the stove temp.. When it starts to slow down, it's time to get my lazy butt out of the Lazy Boy and add more wood.

I swear, you could post a request for "do it yourself brain surgery" out here and get good advice. THANKS
(Well FLL would send me off to Walmart for a discounted home surgery kit, but that's another thread

)
