Anyone have any experience with a wood stove fan to distribute the heat.
yes.
Yes, they help. You need a fan to move it out of the room with the stove to the rest of the house though. I used to hang a 10" box fan in the doorway aimed to the stairwell.
Any fan that moves the air will help.
When we were into burning wood full time I added a return air duct to near the ceiling in the room that contained the insert. When the room got toasty I simply switched the furnace fan from auto to on to move some of that air around the rest of the house. It wasn't 100% effective but it did help.

I grew up in a house with a wood furnance and the house had ceiling air returns and it helped a lot.
I do: what's your question?
You gotta have circulation. In our two story the warm air is drawn up through 2 registers with computer fans in them and a cold air return away from the stove. It's the cats ass.
