The radon system should be completely sealed from inside air, the inlet to the radon pipe is installed under the concrete pad, the piping then goes to a blower and the air goes outside. The air getting sucked out from under the foundation is replaced by air coming in from around the foundation on the outside.

Yes, inlet is under the floor, but the make-up air to the sub-slab space comes thru things like perimeter drains and expansion joints. So, radon systems do usually result in greater negative pressure situations in basements.
 
See my avatar to the left. My stove is in cathedral celling room 28 x 16. The stove in our cabin has been our only heat for 16 years.

One with the hearth gate closed, one with it open. At night when the kids are in bed I like to leave the gate open for a better view of the fire. Currently have a 500* stove top with a mix of pine, black walnut and some doug fir scraps cooking. 35* outside and about 75* in the living room.

Edit: crud. I just realized I completely disregarded the original posts requests for no text.
