Fireplace Ventilator/Blower Insert ?

Hi....

I'm looking to install a ventilator blower into my fireplace for this winter, to help circulate the hot air back into the living space, rather than just go 'up the chimney'.

Can folks give me suggestions and recommnedations of products available, and expected cost to purchase.

Looking for local retail sources where this could be purchased, as well as any Internet sites you can recommend.

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated !

I have a woodstove insert with a 2 speed fan.Don't have any info on mine as far as price but I will tell you that it blows an incredible amount of heat compared to the fireplace without it.Go for it.

Ventilator fan (s)

When I did my family room over which has a ventilator fireplace I placed a 6" IMC boxer fan (Model # WS2107F-2 which was made in Rochester NH) in each intake (both sides). I then hard wired them in with a variac so I could control the speed. The units are still in place and working like http://i34.tinypic.com/2q0t5di.gif after 22 years of wonderful service.:)
