How to Circulate Heat From a Pellet Stove

A pellet stove is a very efficient and inexpensive way to generate heat. It burns wooden pellets for fuel, and works in much the same way that a fireplace or wood-burning stove does. Different makes and models are available in many configurations. Although many work on the principle of radiant heat, some may have a blower for a more even heat distribution. However, there is a relatively simple solution to circulate the heat from a pellet stove into whichever room or area you desire.

Fan(s)

Instructions

- 1
  Choose a fan that will best address your needs. There are many types available from large and small plug-in fans, room-to-room doorway fans and even fans that are made to rest on top of a pellet stove that use no electricity.
- 2
  Place the fan where you want the heat circulated. A non-electric pellet stove fan will blow hot air directly off the top of a burning pellet stove and provide whole room heating. A desk or floor fan will blow heated air from one room to another. A room-to-room doorway fan gets attached near the top of the door jamb and blows heated air unobtrusively into any room it is pointed at.
- 3
  Turn the fan on and direct the airflow to the room or rooms where you want heated air circulation. A ceiling fan works much the same way. Since hot air rises, by blowing the air downward, you will achieve total warm airflow circulation in that particular room.
