Getting heat from room to room with a Wood Stove

[begreen]

In Sacramento everything is hotter. Things are different in cold climates.

We're heating a 2400' rancher. I've placed one small fan at the top of a doorway(got tired of tripping over it) in the middle of the house that runs 24/7. The stove in this picture is out of frame, back wall on the right. The fan draws heated air at the ceiling and pushes in to the kitchen behind me, then natural convection in to a bedroom off the kitchen and a bathroom and bedroom down a short hallway off the kitchen. The stove room stays at about 24-25C, the kitchen/living room/dining room are 22-23C, and the far bedroom (about 65' from the stove) is at 21C. Even with overnight temps at 2C, the no part of the house ever gets below 19-20C.

More comfortable/even temps with it running in reverse? The dogs won't be interested unless there is a rat or squirrel on the fan.

Heat distribution is better. Murphy & Sam are wearing bullet proof vests

Well at 2 degrees C no wonder it’s so toasty!! I got up this morning to minus 22 C. Blunt force trauma for November! Supposed to warm up to around zero by end of week but I’m not holding my breath.
