Yes sir I have done that. I was just thinking they might make a thin long barrel type fan that could be mounted under the mantel to blow outward. I googled but couldnt come up with anything. Thought I might ask some these fine folks on here and see what kinda idears I might could drum up. That heat deflector is a neat idea. I’m sure the ceiling fan will eventually move it around. Old bones and joints want it faster ….
Not sure if it will work in your situation, but they make cordless fans that sit on top of wood fire boxes to circulate the heat that radiates up. You could hang them from your mantle.
Like this one
It even has a hook. To hang it under the mantle.Or possible mount it with a couple of screws upside down
Mine has no vents. This option wouldn’t work for me. Thank you for the input
I looked at this one. From what I read it is heat activated in a way. It states the hotter the fan gets the more the blades spin. Neat idea but I don’t think it will work well for my situation. Thank you for the suggestion
This is more inline with what I had in my mind. I wander with it being plastic if the heat coming from the logs would affect it. I wanted to mount it horizontally. I may could try it and see how it does

That looks interesting..Not sure how it would work with gas logs but I installed this in a manufactured wood fireplace. Works like a champ.

It works great in a wood fireplace due to coals piling up on it. I don’t know how it would work with gas. Puts out a bunch of heat in ours. We reverse the ceiling fan as there’s high ceiling in that room.
lol.. @JustUs4All . That’s a good idea. Im decent at building stuff. That’s a good option
