A heat-powered stove fan sits on a hot stove top and spins without a plug: a thermoelectric module turns the temperature difference between its base and fins into power. It spreads the stove's warm air across the room; it doesn't add heat.
These fans are ordered by blade count, highest first; more blades usually move air more quietly at the same speed. The figure that decides whether a fan suits your stove is its operating temperature range, which we list where the maker states it.
Hearth gear keeps a stove or fireplace working well between professional visits; it doesn't replace the yearly chimney inspection NFPA advises.

Choosing between them
Check the operating temperature range against how hot your stove top runs; a magnetic thermometer tells you. Then fit the base footprint beside the flue pipe, with room for the fan to sit flat toward the back of the stove.
More blades generally move the same air more quietly. A fan with overheat protection, where the maker describes one, protects the thermoelectric module if the stove runs very hot.
When another list fits better
Pellet stoves with built-in blowers and electric fireplaces don't suit thermoelectric fans.
