I'm assuming you are refering to a blower. If that is the case then Yes blowers will increase you efficiency. Adding more oxygen will cause better and more complete combustion and you will see an increase in production.
If you go back in previous post it has been discussed alot.

Wood saver works great and even better with an airtight front!

Yea as Brandon said, they work better with air tight fronts.I forgot to mention that. Otherwise you will get sparks and ash out of the crack between the two doors if the gap is too wide. Some producers have made there doors air tight afterwards. That topic was discussed in previous post.

We use an old exhaust fan that my father took out of a barn when it was being re-wired. We had to put a dimmer switch on it because it'll burn so well the pans boil over without it.

You can make your own, We use a squirrel cage fan for a blower, You can find them at flea markets. They are usually stripped from oil burning furnaces. Ours sets underneath and at the back of the arch. The duct work hooks into the fire box beneath the grates. The only thing bad about it is we have to turn it off everytime we fire the evaporator. Also there is very little ashes left in the evaporator after each boil. They go out the stack!
