• a thermal stove fan is a fan which you place on a hot stove and the heat from the stove generates the fan motion which then can blow warm air across the tent
• does not require batteries

• the base plate radiator and vanes are generally made of aluminium and have good thermal conductivity
• the temperature differences generates electricity to drive the motor for the fan which can generally blow air about 3m
• the fan must be placed on a thermally conductive surface of a stove, usually near the side or back but not in front of the chimney
• the higher the temperature, the faster the speed

• starting temperature range is usually 85-110degC
• usual working temperature range is 85degC to 345degC
• stove surface temperatures above 345degC may damage the fan so if temperatures rise past this, you need to remove the fan from the stove - BUT remember the base of the stove fan will be very hot so it needs to be placed on a safe metal surface to avoid burns
