You know the handy fan that sits on your stove top or attaches to the flue pipe or even to the stove door and promises to distribute the hot air around your room and saves you money. When a valiant stove fan is placed on a working wood burning stove heat is conducted from the surface of the stove travelling up from the aluminium base of the fan to the underside of the peltier device. The peltier device generates electricity by having one side hot and the other side cooler known as a thermal difference.

Yes investing in a wood burner stove top fan will contribute to lower your energy bills. However you may still be on the fence about whether they genuinely work or if its just another one of those gimmicky gadgets that are a way of helping you spend your hard earned cash.
