SBI Heat Operated Stove Fan Features
- No Electricity Required: This heat-operated fan generates its own power from the heat of your stove, so there's no cord to run, no batteries to replace, and no wiring to install — just set it on your stove and let the heat do the work.
- Self-Starting, Self-Stopping Operation: The fan begins turning automatically as your stove reaches operating temperature and slows to a stop as the stove cools, so it runs exactly when you need warm-air circulation and shuts itself off when you don't.
- Three CFM Options to Match Your Stove: Available in 165 CFM, 178 CFM, and 250 CFM versions, so you can choose the airflow that best matches the size of the room you're heating and the stove it's paired with.
- Whisper-Quiet Circulation: Moves warm air throughout the room without the hum or rattle of an electric blower, making it a comfortable option for living rooms and bedrooms where noise matters.
- Durable, Ready-to-Use Construction: Arrives fully assembled in a rugged steel housing, so it's ready to place on your stovetop right out of the box with no tools or setup required.

SBI Heat Operated Stove Fan FAQ
Do I need to wire this fan or plug it in?
No. This is a heat-operated fan — it generates its own electricity from the temperature difference created by your stove's heat, so there's no wiring, cord, or battery involved. Simply place it on the stovetop.
Which CFM version should I choose?
The 165 CFM (AC03530) and 178 CFM (AC03513) versions suit small to mid-sized rooms, while the 250 CFM (AC03532) version moves more air and is better suited to larger rooms or open floor plans. If you're replacing an existing SBI fan, match the CFM rating and model number to your original part.
Will this fan work on my specific stove model?
These are OEM SBI parts used across several Century, Drolet, Enerzone, Flame, and Osburn wood stove models. Fit varies by model and serial number, so check your stove's owner's manual or existing fan's part number before ordering.
How hot does my stove need to get before the fan starts spinning?
The fan is designed to operate within a stove surface temperature range of about 149°F to 653°F (65°C to 345°C). It will begin turning as the stovetop heats into that range and slow down as the stove cools.
Can I use this fan on a gas or pellet stove?
These heat-operated fans are designed for wood-burning and multi-fuel freestanding stoves. Confirm compatibility with your specific stove type in the owner's manual before purchasing.
Is the fan noisy when it's running?
No. It's designed for whisper-quiet operation, so it circulates warm air through the room without the hum you'd get from an electric blower.
Does the fan come fully assembled?
Yes. It arrives ready to use out of the box — there's no assembly required, just set it on the stovetop in the recommended position.
What's the warranty on this fan?
It comes with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty, which is voided if the fan is installed on a stove it wasn't designed for.
