Blowing air over the hot stove has thermal issues.
The more air the lower the temp of the stove. (the fan/s cool it) this however also reduces the temp of the blown air while actually taking away more heat quantity (BTUs) whth each volume of air being cooler and at higher velocity.
I found value in a used small blower from a trailer furnace (1/5th hp squirrl cage from a broken coleman gas furnace) blowing into a 3' long piece of 12" galvanized duct. I placed the blower above the stove to suck in heated air and blow it across the cieling so as not to blow on us, but hit against the far wall then down. The blower was set to operate on a snap thermostat (fan control switch) so it would stop when the fire was low or out reducing electric costs, and wind chill when the stove was out. JimN
