We have an 'ecofan' in our boat on the stove, and I am convinced it does move warm air around. We could live without it, in Winter, but if it breaks I will buy a new motor (or new fan, whichever is cheaper/more convenient). It's what I like about our style of boating, back to the simple life. I like putting the gas stove (Pocket Rocket) on in the kitchen early in the mornings, to give a blast of warm air, and putting the oven on for 10 minutes, as I'm sure that helps. Also a couple of candle lanterns in the kitchen. I like to do paperwork and look at Thunderboat at the kitchen table around 5-6am, whilst the Witch is still snoring, and the world outside is quiet. I like being up early in the mornings when I'm on holiday. It gives me an air of superiority over those who wake up a couple of hours later, a whole load of tasks have been done, and the bacon is already sizzling in the frying pan. I don't like waking up at 0520 to go to work, that's torture, but in my free time it's fun. WTF Yes, indeed, no wtf about it. I have been up, gone through a load of paperwork, done a few jobs, and got breakfast ready. The Witch has coffee and eats breakfast, and we are ready to sail away into the sunrise. My reward may be an postprandial afternoon snooze (see pic):

When the subject arises, I often say to people ‘you know that Saracen from Gladiators/Andi Peters from BBC kids shows/ John Alford from London’s Burning?.. ‘Oh Yeah? ‘He’s met me.’

I bet you will be annoyed when I stay on your boat and you tell me you are happy for me to steer the boat and do the locks then you hear the engine starting at 0430 and I'm off. In the dark.

At home, the stove is in the front room, we sit in the kitchen. The fire warms the wall between, however it was noticeably cooler without the fan running last night. The kettle on the stove was also getting almost to the boil, which it doesn't with the fan. Jim awaits incoming from deniers! I'm in neither camp but thinking logically. Withers the fan on it is converting energy to something else, therefore it might just knock enough of the temp to stop it boiling. I cant answer whether that energy is converted into warm air being blasted around the boat.

I cant answer whether that energy is converted into warm air being gently and continuously around the boat. FTFY
