Air Circulation Convert

For the past few years I thought I was bucking the trend by using a fan mounted on the door casing to blow warm air out of the stove room and into a cooler hallway. I could typically maintain temps that were within 7 to 10 degrees of the stove room. I had tried blowing the colder air out of the hallway and into the stove room with the fan on the floor, but always found the cooler draft uncomfortable while in the stove room.

Over Thanksgiving I moved the fan onto the floor to prevent my taller relatives from knocking it off the door casing. Well, I was able to get the hallway and second floor to within a degree or two of the stove room and after the temp around the house was relatively even the draft was less noticeable.

Happy Burning

Soooo the fan that you moved to the floor was now blowing the hot air from the room with with the stove out to the hallway??? or the other way around???

Other way around. Colder air is blowing from the hallway toward the stove.

Nothing fancy. The fan is an old thing, two speeds.
