I have been considering buying a wood stove for some time now and finally pulled the trigger on the fireplace xtrodinair elite 33 last week (figures it is going to hit 80 in CT this week!). Anyways, I did get a few days of usage before the warmup and noticed that I was able to get my living room (vaulted ceiling) up to the high 70s but my other rooms didn't warm much at all. The wood stove is at an extreme end of my house. Rather than using box fans I was thinking about cutting a floor register in a room on the opposite side of the house (same floor) as well as next to the wood stove. I would then connect the two and install an inline duct fan blowing the cold air from the far room into the stove room.
I do have a ceiling fan running in the living room
Question - would this create negative pressure in the cold room and positive pressure in the stove room? Would that help the movement of warm air through the living spaces between the rooms?
Anyways, loving the stove! Thanks for any thoughts/responses!
