Moving that hot air. Not that kind!..

So I fired up the stove and decided to try the fans blowing cold air toward the stove method (thank Begreen, I've read many a post where you've advised this...as well as others!).
I fired it up and waited until it was pumping some heat then put the fan at the end of our hall (opposite side of the house from the stove and right next two the bedroom doors) pushing toward the stove. Got the incense out that I bought just for this and went draft hunting! Sure enough, about 3 feet from the fan blowing at a doorway into a bedroom, the smoke was pouring into the room at shoulder height!! I bet it would be even better if I cut vents above the doors for hot air movement.
Stove room temp was 23.3*C. Bedroom temp was 21.5*C. I expect this difference will be higher when it's -30*C outside but I noticed a big difference from the morning fire not using the fan to tonight's.
Thanks hearth.com....learned do much and will learn much more I'm sure.

Well I was just using a pillar style fan, will probably get a small one eventually. I was blowing on the lowest speed.
I have a bi-level with about 1000sq ft on each floor. My stove is on one far end of the house centred depth wise on that side , and the fan was placed on the opposite side of the house at the end of the hall. I'll try to attach a rough pic.

Will do. I'll try some combos once we are burning regularly. Thanks for the tip!

There's gonna be TP and incense like crazy!

Could try both. I tried what I think is your option a. The fan being furthest away from the stove and living room. I'm going to try both at my place but will prob stick with option a as that's where the fan will make most sense (not tripping over it).
