Blowers much help with wood stoves? (not inserts)

[firefighterjake]

I thought about buying a blower when I bought my woodstove, but the salesman at the stove shop suggested I wait as he said most folks found that they didn't need one and it could easily be added afterwards if I changed my mind.

10 years later and I haven't been back for that blower . . .

T6 with blower,

added the blower after the first year. Night and day difference in heat production using the blower with the T6 in a large home with tons of glass - sliding doors and windows, vaulted ceilings etc. We use the fan most of the time, IMHO besides increasing heat output, it increases flexibility in loads with different temperatures etc.

2 phillips head screws to add the blower so it is not a big deal to add afterwords as long as you can get to the back of the stove.

"I don't know what I'm missing," is a pretty weak argument, Jake.

Every home is different. Try it without the blower and see what you think.
