    It wouldn't work. It really needs to be sitting on top of the stove. You could get a small battery operated desk fan and leave it on the mantlepiece (i bought one on ebay a couple of years ago). Turn it on now and again. Best to get rechargeable batteries and a charger for it aswell - sometimes these are on offer in Lidl/Aldi.

    If your wooden mantle piece gets warm then it will work.
    If it does not get warm it won't.
    Stanley Cara is a convection based stove so it really should not need it.
