Moving heat with no plug · review
A low-start Ecofan for stoves with cooler tops, such as gas, pellet and soapstone, moving a stated 140 CFM.
Ecofan rates the BelAir at 140 CFM with FingerSafe blades, and says it starts at lower stove temperatures, which suits gas, pellet and soapstone stoves.
A heavy soapstone stove warms slowly and a pellet stove’s top may stay cool. A fan built for steel may barely turn on those stoves.
A thermoelectric fan only moves air, it adds no heat of its own. Keep it on a flat, clean stove top, and take it off if the surface runs hotter than the listing allows.

The listing names pellet stoves, but it needs a flat, hot top. Many pellet stoves have neither, so check yours first.
The listing says lower than standard, with no number.
7.8/ 10
Buy this one if your stove top stays too cool for a standard fan. Otherwise the Original does the job.
