Year after year I see this question.... So has anyone run vents frome stove room to other rooms??? Does it work??
laynes69 said:Yes, but we have a wood furnace so that's cheating. If you talking about ducting, there's usually more heat loss than gain. Cutting vents throughout a home can be a fire hazard if a fire ever occured. It's also a quick way for smoke to travel. Sometimes it's not the fire that causes damage. In 93 this home had a little fire about 3' in diameter. The smoke caused about 16,000.00 in damage and was very toxic. Not fun to live in a motel for 9 months. Before I would start cutting holes, I would just install a furnace and call it done. Furnaces get a bad wrap but thats changing as technology changes.

laynes69 said:Red, it sounds like a bad setup. It's a way to depressurize the room the stove is in. Sure the furnace pulls in heat, but it also may pull in other things like carbon monoxide. It's against code to have a return that close to the stove. I just wouldn't trust it.
