Stove Fans

The Caframo Ecofans are a range of heat-powered stove fans designed to circulate the warm air created by a wood or specialist stove. These fans do not use any batteries or mains electricity.

The airflow created by a genuine Ecofan can help you feel the heat from your wood stove up to 38% faster. Ecofans are designed to sit on top of a free-standing wood stove and create their own electricity without using any household energy or batteries. The fan starts automatically when placed on top of a stove and adjusts its speed with the stove temperature. As the stove heats up, the Ecofan runs faster. As the stove cools down, the fan slows and automatically shuts off. The designs have evolved from the original Canadian invention to the current models to provide greater efficiency and maximum airflow.

Placement of your Ecofan on your stove top is critical. Be sure to position the Ecofan on the stove so that cool air will be drawn over the ‘cooling fins’. The Ecofan should not be used directly in front of the stovepipe or at the front of the stove. Place the Ecofan at the back edge of the stove as shown in the diagram. Should the gap between the rear of your stove and the wall be less than 150mm (6″) then move your Ecofan forward, along the side of your stove and turn it in slightly. This should ensure your fan can draw the necessary cooler air from the rear/side of your stove.
