Anyone used one of these? Do they really help? These are heaters that work off of the heat generated by the heater. They were designed to work on wood stoves.

amazon link $25

I have a friend that has two on his and he says they work great. No personal experience with them though.

Works decent enough. Better than having to replace the D fan batteries in this one. Bet it will work great on my smaller BH also. Only thing i had to do was set the metal prongs on top of the cage on the big buddy, if you hook it in the front, it causes fan to point down more

They work on a wood stove. I don't think the thermo would be needed though

I just popped it on my big buddy to see what it read, and i fired it up on high, and it jumped into the too hot range quick, so i backed her down a tad lol

I think fans are good to ~600°F

The one I had for my stove, the hotter the stove got, the faster it spun. Maybe the concern is not enough sustained heat to spin fast enough

Yeah said can damage fan if gets over 700 (or something like that) That won't be a problem with the Mr. Buddy.

My brother has one and says it's the sh!t. I want to try one, but I have the little buddy heater and I'm not sure it will work with it.
