THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) 

 

A blower is installed at the back of your Classic EPA wood stove. The blower should be used if you wish to 
redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the 
blower enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove.
