Hi,
do you like this airmate on jotul 500?
Should help in heat diffusion ?

If there is a blower feeding it to blow air across the top of the stove then it will improve heat convection in the room.

Thank you, effectively, currently without fans, I see the flow with a lighter, from back to front ("the airmate" is "a little higher forward, to create flow in this direction") but it's a really weak movement, need blower to work this
 
Yes, it's called a convection lid and it needs a blower behind it to be most effective.

Anyway, after several tests, without blower, airmate only, I can say I detect higher temperatures away from the stove, jacketed stoves therefore should work better
