another circulation controversy

since warm air is on the ceiling i get better movement using a fan on the floor that blows up? i have been using small fans to bring air to the stove but am thinking i if i put this type fan in the room where it is 77-82 it might work since it is working like a ceiling fan??
it will suck cold air in shoot it upward which will warm it and push it out on the ceiling???

BINGO!! yes i am questioning myself and the common law of run fans on the floor TOWARDS the stove i know that in wide/long house you will need something to bring air closer but wondering if i put a fan in the middle of the room blowing straight up will that help air move faster throughout the house as i am bringing air into room along the floor AND pushing it out off the ceiling with the fan... might also reduce the amount of fans one might need????

Try a small Vornado fan. They are designed to mix the air and equalize the temps. throughout a room. I know mine work great in the summer to cool things off and have the rooms 'balanced'. Haven't used one with the insert because of ceiling fan and just do not want more of the fan noise along with the blower noise. Ceiling fan works great for us.

so how do you have your fans positioned? i have something similiar to that but don't use it cause i think it moves to much air even on low

We do use the Vornado fan summer and winter and find they do a fine job.
