I'm trying to decide if getting a blower would help distribute hot air to cold room. The fan for my dutchwest is $185, but i saw the blower for englanders stoves with 12 or 13 in the model # looks like it would fit my stove. If anybody has this blower, could you tell me the diameter of the hole and flange on the blower.
I would really appreciate it and so would my wallet at a $56 savings.
Thanks
Kevin

Check out (broken link removed) they have flange mount blowers ... That's what I use on mine and just redrilled the flange holes and painted it black to match the stove.. At the time was less than 30 bucks.. I added a toggle switch and cordset and have used this over 10 yrs... Just clean and oil it once a yr..

I put a little Radio Shack muffin fan on the back of my Century. It sounds odd at first, but these fans are designed to live in an enclosed, hot environment and cool expensive electronics. It ran less than $20.

They are very quiet too and will last longer if you spend a bit more for the ball bearing models.. They use very little power as an added bonus.. Some call them pancake fans too...

To answer the original question, a blower may possibly not make a big difference, especially if the stove blower output is not directed towards the cold room.

Do you have a box or table fan? If so, try placing it on the floor, in the cold area, pointing towards the stove. This should be line of sight. The idea is to assist convection by moving the cold air towards the stove. It will be replaced by warmer air from the stove area.
