Another WoodBurner Question :)

Looks like it is electric powered by the look of that fan.

Cold air drawn down through rear, meets heat given off by stove, turns fan, reads similar to eco-fan.

I have just ordered my Ecofan through Amazon.com (USA) £68 including packing and delivery and all duties paid with acompanying customs declaration. Now that is a bit more like it !!

Thats a brilliant price, ridiculous when we can't have same deal here, rip of Britain comes to mind, I assume two blade version?

Yes two blade 800 model . Ordering from Amazon .com is dead easy The book I ordered recently has only taken 10 days to cross the pond. Unless you are in a bustin hurry worth considering.

But then anotherbaldrick has al;ready said thats the duty paid already

When you buy from abroad it really is up to the consumer to check what duty they are liable for before they decide they are getting a good price

hethmar

Yes, I did check suki, otherwise I wouldnt have bought it.

Didnt stop me being charged over here though. Thats why I said Id be pleased to hear if he had paid duty because otherwise I may aswell pay £80 for one here. Thank you for your interest though.

OK . The fan has today arrived from Amazon USA, all as ordered, no additional tax or duty to pay . I make that a total of 6 days including the weekend from order to sitting on my stove. I should have ordered 6 and put the other 5 on eBay. :j
