Wondering what to look for when choosing the best stove fan for your home? We're here with all the answers along with a round up of the top 10 products around to ensure you get the very most out of your stove this winter.

Log burning stoves, along with multi-fuel, gas and pellet stoves, are all great at heating up a room and a method increasingly being used by homeowners keen to keep an eye on their electricity bills.

Stove fans really maximise the heat given out by stoves, helping it to project further out and around the space. Stove fans are designed to sit on top of the stove and circulate the warm air, distributing it evenly around the space. What's more, because they are powered by the heat generated by the stove, they require no power source or batteries.

If this sounds like a no-brainer to you, read on for our picks of the very best stove fans around to help you decide on a model that is right for you.

The best stove fan overall

This is an excellent, compact stove fan that would be ideal for those with small stoves with limited space above — for example those placed in an alcove.

As with all the stove fans listed here, no batteries are required for it to operate — it simply kicks in once the stove reaches 55°C and switches off once it reaches 350°C, getting slower or faster as required. Operation is quiet and the design is discreet.

One negative of the compact size of this fan is that it has a lower airflow range than some of the models on this list (150 - 180 CFM.), which could be an issue in larger spaces but should not be a problem for those with smaller rooms.

If you want a thermometer you will need to buy one separately.

The best quiet operation

A basic, yet highly effective stove fan. While it has no magnetic base, this fan does come complete with a very accurate temperature gauge — making it a great buy for its very reasonable price.

Users praised it for its quiet operation and its highly efficient heat distribution capabilities, despite its handy compact proportions.

The design of the fan is unfussy and would blend in with any interior scheme and with a range of stove styles.

The best effectiveness

A little different in its design than some of the other fans here, this is a great stove fan for those who would prefer to keep the top of their stove clear of clutter as it is fixed to the flue pipe. It is also a brilliant option for contemporary freestanding stoves or those designed with sloped forms.

While it is more expensive than some of the other models out there, its airflow range is highly impressive — meaning you will use less fuel for burning in your stove. It also comes complete with a handy thermometer.

4. Best for compact spaces

This is a truly tiny stove fan that would be ideal for anyone looking for a fan that would fit into an awkward or tight space, such as a little inglenook.

Despite its small size, the Ecofan Original Mini boasts quiet operation and has a maximum operating temperature of 345°C.

On the downside, its airflow of just 85CFM is lower than many of the other models here, largely due to its size and it having just two blades rather than the more common four or five.

That said, users still praised it for upping the heating capabilities of their existing stoves.

5. Best for a stylish finish

This smart stove fan is ideal for those looking to add a stylish little touch to their stove at the same time as maximising its efficiency.

At just 500g it is lightweight — handy should you want to move it around to another stove in the house (although perhaps easier to knock over than some of the heavier fans we looked at.) You should also note that this is not one for those with gas or electric stoves as it is only suitable for log burners.

Contemporary appearance aside, the main benefits of this fan are its quiet operation, compact size and reasonable price tag.

6. Best for airflow

The only twin-blade design here, the 8 Blade Double Mini Heat Powered Stove Fan from UK Stove Fans features a total of eight blades and has an excellent airflow thanks to a maximum speed of 1970RPM, despite its handy compact size.

Operation is praised for being quiet, while the design is subtle and easily blends in with the majority of stove styles, both contemporary and classic.

Another plus is the low starting temperature of 50˚C (lower than many of the other models here), meaning you can make the most of the heat given out by your stove as it comes up to its maximum temperature.

How to choose the best stove fan for you:

When choosing a stove fan that will be right for your home, you need to take into consideration how much space you have above your stove and how big the room your stove is located in is.

Airflow Range

Bigger rooms require stove fans with greater air-moving capacities — something measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Therefore, stove fans with a higher CFM will mean you will use less fuel for burning in your stove.

Magnetic

Fans with a magnetic base 'stick' to the stove via a clamp that fits onto your flue pipe instead of sitting flat on the stove top. This is a feature that can be very useful if your stove is slightly sloping or has an irregular surface.

Temperature gauge

A temperature gauge is an energy-efficient features which lets you monitor the heat and performance of your stove fan. You can use it to optimise its efficiency which will prevent against damage from overheating.

Blades

Stove fans vary in the number of blades they possess, but a 4-blade fan is widely considered to be very effective.
