moving heat buck 2800

[WASPKFD]

heres something odd, well to me anyway... when I use a fan to draw the heat to the back room the temp drops by 8 deg.. ( in the back rooms). why is this,,, I would think it would create more heat?

I was seeing if I could get the back rooms warmer but after 2 weeks I get the same results???? thanx for any input....

Make sure the fan is blowing toward the warm room.

There are so many variables in pressures, especially in older structures. Try different strategies and do what works best.

Try this trick. Do you have a table fan? Here is a trick for distributing the heat. It works quite well assuming that there is a line of sight path between the cooler area and the stove room. The idea is to blow the cooler air down at floor level, toward the stove. For more even heat in the house put a table or box fan in a cooler room within sight of the stove room, placed on the floor, pointing toward the woodstove room. Run it on low speed. It will blow the cooler air down low, toward the woodstove. The denser cool air will be replaced with lighter warm air from the stove room. Running this way you should notice at least a 5F increase in the room temp after about 30 minutes running. And the stove room temp should drop by a corresponding 5+ degrees.
