Good idea or bad idea:Cutting hole in ceiling and floor upstairs

[Runi Brantas]

I'm thinking about cutting a hole in the ceiling and also in the bedroom above on the floor. Is this a bad idea or a good idea?

I know it would be great to have the air flow from downstairs to upstairs but is this a fire hazard?

They're called registers. I have two right above the stove. Home Depot carries a thermostat controlled fan that sits on top of the register. WORKS GREAT!!

If you don't care about chimney effect spreading smoke and fire faster, and I am tired of arguing it every year here and won't this year, just be sure everybody upstairs likes listening to the same TV shows and listening to each others conversations, music, farting, talking on the phone etc.

Well, right now it is just the 2 of us, so no worries there. I also would probably put some insulation between the 2 cut out sections to lessen the noise (in warmer months) if I did cut the sections.
