Hello Everyone:
Got a question on heating my other rooms in my house with my pellet stove. This weekend it got pretty chilly/rainy so I decided to fire up the pellet stove just to take the chill out of the house. I have a ranch house with the pellet stove in the living room, a kitchen off that room, and then a hallway leading to bedrooms. The hallway is reletively short, about 13 feet. Anyway, I have the Mt. Vernon which has the thermostat which is mounted to the ajacent wall about 6 or 7 feel away. I've got a cheap box fan pointing down the hallway running in an attempt to push the heat down the hallway. I've got to say this thing really shoots out the heat. My question is how can I push at least some of this heat down the hallway without roasting myself in the process? The fan does not seem to do a whole lot. Will the heat naturally find its way down the hall after a while? It would be nice to be able to run the stove without having the thermostat want to keep shutting it down ( at least running it on low). This may give the heat a greater chance to find its way throughout the house, but I think I may roast myself in the process.
Thanks....
