I currently have a 500cfm blower on the keystoker 90...i realise the stove cant be a furnace and probably need to see about trading in. But has anyome adooted say a 1000 or more cfm blower to the 90?

I put in a 460cfm dist. blower as I had a long 8" pipe run with serrated walls and wished to get some more air. If you blow to much you will actually get less heat transfer/

You are correct, they are stoves, not furnaces. the mfr's usually size them for optimum heat/air flow.
too much airflow will cool it down too much and just blow cooler air.

Let me get this straight, if one were to burn 40 pounds of coal in 24 hours with too much blower which causes blowing cool air all day long, then most all of that burning coal's heat went where?

MG, firstly would you want cool air rushing around the house in winter. Do you really think that if stove manufacturers could increase efficiency just by installing bigger fans they would not have done it? I have a 100 mph carb I would like to sell you. Where does it go? It never gets extracted from the metal surface and more heat goes up the chimney. Millions of CPU cooling papers will tell you that one. There is also the noise factor but super quiet fans sold at a reasonable price now thx to the pot industry (errr, hmmm, I mean hydroponics), have me looking at other possibilities.

If you need more warmth and comfort, ideally you want to heat the COOLEST air in your home- which makes cold air returns even more important than heat runs. If you don't have duct work, at least get that low to the ground and cool air moving towards the furnace.

If you have a tight basement, the furnace can pull some of it on its own. If not, you often pull COLDER air from the air infiltration. It uses up more BTUs to heat 30F infiltrating air to 120-150F than it does 50-70F recirculated inside air.

To the average person, 100F moving air is cool. 120F is okay, 150F is warm.

Only wanted to know where my 40 pounds of coal's heat went to...your saying it vanished up the chimney!, Thanks for your reply. Scratching head...how did it know???
