Installed an insulated solid 6" liner in the internal masonry chimney in our new (100 year old) summer house, and just picked out a PE Alderlea T5 to hook up in a couple of weeks.
I will likely not bother with an outside air kit as it is currently drafty enough in the house and we have a PE Pacific at our other house, and it works well, without any outside air kit.
But, as I got thinking about an outside air kit, I wondered why a person couldn't run the 4" air inctact duct to a floor vent in a hard to heat, colder room, so the cold air is puller from there, instead of from outside, to (hopefully) be replaced by warm air making it's way down the hall.
Is that "allowed" or are there problems in my thining?
