you can wire your stove with a manual shut off if you like...i don't think it would take much...yoru blower and solenoid must recieve a signal from your stat. if you wire a manual switch in before both of these components....you have the choice of overriding your stat.

Last year I was considering adding a fan to my CB 6048.  I was also burning alot of wet and greener wood.  I didn't really need it but thought it would help get the fire started easier (obviously)
Once it got started, I don't think I needed it and I was thinking I would just shut it off.

This year, I'm burning much drier wood and there's no trouble starting it and keeping it going.  I'm burning alot less wood than last year and think that if I added the fan, it would just be blowing the heat up the chimney.

I can see it for wet wood, but not needed if you're burning dry wood.  That big hole in the door let's in enough air I think.
