I need help getting better circulation. I am really new to this, we've had our stove for abpout a month, and we're starting to get it, but its getting cold! We obviously get beeter heat when we burn the hotter pellets, but my real problem is getting the heat upstairs. What we have is an insert in the livingroom fireplace - its in the center of the room, and faces the rest of the house. downstairs is really fine, but its cool up. There is a fairly open stairway in the center of the house - about 25 feet from the stove. There are no passive vents anyhere. Someone previously told us to place a fan low in the room we want to heat, blowing out - blow cold air out, suck warm in, and that makes sense, but will that principal work to get warm air up? should a place a fan near the top of the stairs blowing down? We're about 66-73 downstairs, depending on the pellets and the setting, but upstairs is only 58-62. not terrible, but not as nice as i'd like, and cold for the baby!
any ideas?
