My in-laws put one similar to yours on last winter. It made a huge difference in the warmth of their house.

I had one of those on my wood stove over 20 years ago. It worked great.
Nice to see that a company is still around after that many years.
Make sure you keep the plates clean. If you do not keep the creosote off the tubes, plate cleaner will be stuck. It will be a pain to get it cleaned out.
I ended making a filter box that sat on the floor. Put a 6"stove pipe from box to Magic Heat to get air into the Magic Heat. This cut down on the dust and noise coming from fan.

Hey Ron, do you still have set up? Makes sense, draw and filter cold air from floor instead of 5 feet off floor. Any pics?
Did you make a box that attached to the Magic Box?

I don't have the unit any more. Did not take any pictures. The sheet box had a 12X12 filter in one end. The other end had 6" round pipe heat pipe. I got rid of the original fan and installed a squirrel cage fan in the box. Made a sheet metal back for the Magic Heat that had a hole cut in it for the 6" pipe. Ran off the thermostat in the Magic Heat. Since the fan did not have a lot of volume it ran as long as there was a fire in the stove.
I still have the stove. But it has gas logs in it.
