Caframo Ecofan CA 806 Heat Powered Fan for Gas & Pellet Stoves

With high winds and beetle kill, we have experienced multiple power outages.
Our propane freestanding fireplace fan was useless without electricity so ordered the cardamom eco fan for future electric outages. WOW, we were so impressed by how quiet and much more efficient eco fan we have turned off our electric fan and now use the ecofan regardless of power outages.

Virtually silent, extremely effective- spreads heat thru the room quietly and consistently. Seems to virtually double the effectiveness of our stove.

The built-in fan in our propane fireplace broke a few years ago, letting heat rise straight up to a high ceiling rather than out to the room. The Ecofan is just what we needed and works as described. Plus, it is comforting to sit in a reading chair close to the fireplace and be comfy and warm as the winter days get colder.

I was so excited to find this fan for a pellet stove. It works great. And my cats have definitely noticed the difference.

Works amazing! Using less wood and the room is staying warmer.

an amazing invention. quiet and throws a good deal of heat

It works great! Definitely heats up space quicker! We love that it does not make ANY noise!

Works as advertised. May buy another one.

A well made unit that exceeds expectations.

Turns on by getting hot. Fan moves air well. No electricity required.

Everything happened just as your sales associate said it would with the item being delivered the day they said it would.

This fan is compact and quiet. I particularly like that it works without electricity. Exactly what I wanted.

My placement of a small propane stove was on same side of room as stairway. Could really feel heat rising. This fan allowed the heat to travel around the room and greatly diminished the loss of heat upstairs. Also our stove so small I was worried not enough heat for fan to work properly. It was fine.

When the power goes off and the ceiling fans can't circulate the heat, this heat driven fan will work!

Our new gas fired stove currently sits in an open, unheated screen porch.. It is roofed and has a three foot high wall around the perimeter. We installed the gas stove in a corner and fired it up. After a few minutes we set our new ecofan on the top of the stove and with in a minute it started spinning and really got going. It Works!!! Then I built an aluminum shelf that I attached to the top of our gas fired fireplace in our living room and placed the Ecofon on it. I was hoping there would be enough heat from the fire place blower on the aluminum shelf to make the fan work and it does. So now I can use the fan on the porch stove, when we get it enclosed, as well in the living room with the fireplace. Neat!! Love It !!

My little fan that generates its power from the heat of a gas fired stove really works. I was skeptical but we placed the fan on top of our gas fired stove which temporarily sits in an unheated screen porch. We let the stove run for a while to get some heat build-up and placed the fan on top for the soap stove inserts and the fan started to work within a minute and really got going full blast with in a couple of minutes. How cool!!!! Next I built an aluminum shelf that fit on the outside of the top of our gas fireplace where it only picked up the heat that moved up and out of the fireplace. It took longer but the little fan finally got going there too. Love it! It will be great when we enclose the porch. Can't wait for cold weather.

Love this fan makes the entire room much warmer

This is an excellent product. It starts up quickly and really does help to circulate the heat quietly.

The ecofan Ca 806 s very easy to set up and to use. What I like most, is, that it you can only hear it a little bit, when you really heat up your stove. Under normal conditions it is literally not to hear. Great price for a gadget that moves a lot of your hot air totally for free and without any switch...

This fan works beautifully on my propane-fueled Jotul stove. But many other models are inappropriate for it. The manufacturer's recommendations are clear and easily understood. It's important to heed them, and one should read them carefully before ordering. Several models are necessary because of the wide range of temperatures produced by the numerous sizes and types of stoves.

I asked the online EFireplace Store expert as to which ecofan would be best, received an answer within a day and I purchased it. This little accessory is a great addition for circulating the heat from my fireplace insert and makes the entire room(kitchen & family room) more cozy and comfortable. By adding a ceiling fan it also keeps the entire downstairs more comfortable without having to turn up the thermostat. Way to Go!

I was a little concerned about functionality, because a prior model had not worked and because my gas stove has uneven temperatures across its surface. I found a cooler spot on the stove top, which is where I placed the fan. Now that I found the spot, I'm not moving it!

I was told that there wasn't a fan that would work for my pellet stove. The CA 806 fan works even at the low settings.

Works like a charm.

The Caframo Ecofan CA 806 for gas stoves works great. Before we bought this fan, you had to sit close to the stove to feel the heat; now it is warm sitting on the couch!

At our Rocky mountain house at 10,425' we needed to move air up a nearby stairwell and seems to be dong the job. The house if off the grid so we can't use power to run a fan, and this little gem moves air all day long.

Power was out for over six hours and we depended on our propane backup heat. The fan works as well as the info says it will. The heat was moved into the room and not just rising to the ceiling.

A great value. Quick, free delivery.

The Caframo Eco Fan 806 is surely a fan of mine! This thermo-electric fan works extremely well on the top of our gas fireplace. It is just the right amount of air movement to distribute the stove heat about the living room space.Also have the 812 on the wood stove in shop. It also is a quiet and efficient unit........ Thinking of getting another one for the wood stove in the office!!!!!Temperature is around zero today, winter is here and that fan is really helpful

It starts by itself SOMETIMES, but NOT often! I cannot tell if it is actually doing what it was suppose to do when it does start.

Because of the layout of our home, we decided that the most effective way to keep our home warmed would be through a combination of an air tight stove using an electric fan. We had decided to go with this product so that the fan would shut itself down as the fire was in the process of dying out. Even though it does not seem to move a great deal of air, on a whole, the house does seem to be a good bit warmer with it. If you own a stove that gets warmer than 300 degrees, then this fan is not for you.

I am amazed at how quiet this fan is while it is running, as well as how it is able to move air out as opposed to up.

This product does work well most of the time, making it a bit of a shame to focus on the shortcomings of this fine item. If a decent amount of dust collects on the blades of this fan, it will cause it to shut down; therefore, make sure you keep the blades clean all of the time.

It is highly entertaining to sit back and watch this fan in action. It is a great learning tool for everyone, and if I need to get another one I know where to go!

I bought this fan after seeing my friend use it on his wood stove. For my gas stove, using a traditional electric fan didn't work as it was too noisy and too windy. This Ecofan works just great, is very quiet, increases the heat in the room, all without a windstorm. It works so well, I'm purchasing another one, even though its a little expensive. But it works, thats the main thing. The design is simple, and so far its holding up.

This is a great product, but I would recommend two of them, depending on how many cubic feet of air you are trying to heat. Absolutely do NOT use this with temperatures above its label or on a wood burning stove.

We use an oil-drip stove to heat our cabin, so we needed a product for the 150-300 degree heat range. This works great, and you can definitely feel the heat moving throughout the room. Be sure you don't use it with temperatures higher than it was designed for!

Since the first Ecofan GS worked so well, we bought another to use on our other gas stove in the new addition in our home. No electricity is needed, and it efficiently circulates the air to make it comfortable in every corner of the room. Just want to add a caution don't use these fans on wood burning stoves, only gas, and only if the temperature doesnt exceed 300 degrees. The fan may become damaged from the high heat. Use a thermometer to double check the stove temperature. Its more energy efficient to use a gas stove set at a lower temperature when using this fan.

I already have a smaller Ecofan for my wood stove upstairs, so I needed a larger model for my downstairs stove. I find that it circulates the air much better than the two blade model. It works great for larger areas.

It is imperative at the outset that you make sure that you have the right model of stove prior to purchasing this product. In our case, we have four different models installed in our home. Because fans have a tendency to be a bit on the noisy side, I decided to purchase an Ecofan. It does not turn on when placed on the stove top of any of the stoves for the simple reason that the top of stoves are not able to reach a sufficient temperature at any given time.

I was skeptical about this product, but it really performs as advertised. And it's quiet, too! I have been very happy with my purchase and the way it spreads heat around the room.

When we were in the process of trying to decide what type of blower to get and install it on our free standing gas stove, I decided to go with the Ecofan because it tends to be quieter, as well as is electricity free. I am quite happy to say that it does the job well and has proven itself to be a worthwhile investment.

My cabin is badly insulated and doesn't retain heat, but the Ecofan has made a HUGE difference. I even have to turn off my stove from time to time because it gets too hot! The design also looks great and saves money on running costs. Fantastic product.

My EcoFan GS was a great replacement for the small fan I had tried previously. I can sit 20 feet away from my 150 degree stove and feel perfectly comfortable. While there is not much perceived air flow directly in front of the fan, you know it does its job when you move around the room. I always use the wire handle when moving the fan, since the blades are somewhat fragile. The fan continues to run for 20 minutes after my stove shuts off, spreading the remaining heat. This was a great product, and definitely worth the money.

It is important that you do not approach this fan with the expectation that it will blow air like a regular fan does. It moves it, but it does so silently, and is fascinating to watch.

After comparing all the models, my husband chose the Caframo Ecofan to help increase the heat emitted from the small gas stove in our kitchen/family room. Installation was easy as all we needed to do was put the fan on top of the stove and it worked wonders exactly as described online. It is warming the room by about 10 degrees and is very quiet. My husband is ecstatic and telling everyone that the Caframo Ecofan is now his favorite gadget.

This turned out to be a great accessory for the cast iron propane stove as the fan distributes the heat through all the open space areas in my cabin in northern Michigan, including the bathroom. My cabin plumbing is winterized and with a battery energized stove thermostat, the fan does such a good job keeping the cabin at a constant temperature. It hardly makes any noise and has lasted through 4 winters so far a great investment.

Because we had been using an Ecofan on our wood stove for over a year and had good results, we decided to purchase another one to use on our ventless propane stove. It took us awhile to figure out where to place the fan so it would work properly, but we finally figured it out - setting it diagonally and backwards in front of the grill vents. Just a light tap on the blades got it going. I would give this a high rating 5 stars if we didn't have so much difficulty in determining where to place the fan so it would work.

When weighing the effectiveness of this fan in comparison to the costs of other fans, the lone conclusion one can reach is that it provides good value for the price. I am amazed at how well it works. It requires neither batteries nor electricity; what a bargain!

I am amazed at how this fan has been able to significantly increase the circulation in my cabin. The one I chose was designed specifically for use with a wood stove, and it does the job quite well.

A member of our family currently resides in Europe, and we decided to purchase this as a gift. Our family has owned one for several years, and it is because of its efficient and dependable performance that we decided to make this into a gift.

I love the reliability of this product. For the last 3 years, it snaps on every time the stove exceeds 100 degrees. It works great, and it's fun to watch the cordless, battery-free wonder do its job.

Our wood stove is inside a brick enclosure with vents in the brick on either side. Even though the fan is working well on our wood stove, it still doesnt circulate enough air towards the front as wed like it to.

What a great fan - especially since it doesnt need electricity to make it work. We use it on our wood stove and it circulates the heat around the room very well. The only minor problem we have is that it sometimes starts to shake and causes the little loop handle on the back to rattle. Otherwise, it runs very quiet.

I am quite satisfied with the performance of this product, but it does tend to get a little bit on the expensive side.

I am thrilled to say that this fan definitely works as it is advertised. It is very effective in keeping out living room warmers as it skillfully circulates heat through an adjacent room. Overall, this has proven to be a satisfactory addition to our home when considering the price.

I had a great experience ordering my Ecofan GS and have been more than impressed with what this fan does. It keeps cabin and house rooms warm and saves lots of energy in the process. I would recommend this to anyone.

Currently, my wood stove is located in the basement of my home. I decided that, because of its locale, to go ahead and purchase an Ecofan in order to more effectively disperse the heat away from the stove. I have been quite satisfied with the results, since my basement is, on a whole, much warmer with it. It is helping me to save money all around.

I can use my GS model on kerosene heaters, my nordic pot stove, and even and Alladin kerosene lamp because it doesn't need 400 degree heat to work properly. Very practical; check to see what temperature your appliances need.

I have complete faith in this product to spread the heat from my gas stove, should the power go out.

I'm sorry to say that I can't recommend this Caframo Ecofan as it isnt performing the way I thought it would. I can't tell if the air is circulating. Its possible my gas stove isnt getting hot enough for the warm air to circulate.

I made the decision to purchase and install this on the gas stove in my sun room to help facilitate the air movement. The room is a good size, with the length measuring twenty feet. To date, the fan has vastly improved the circulation of the room, making it much more comfortable to move about. What amazes me about the Ecofan is that it does not require any energy to run.
