My spectrum is in my gameroom/finished basement of our fairly large raised ranch thats built like a maze.. theres alot of heat down here and I had some success with the fan at the top of the steps pointing downward..but theres still alot of heat that I can move upstairs, I will purchase a blower and a small door fan over the summer,, were my stove sets I was considering cutting vents into the cold air return several of them between those 3 methods should be able to move some of the excess heat upstairs..Yes No Maybe ? I said before when we purchased this stove we never had any attentions on heating the upstairs but theres so much heat seems like a waste to not get some of it upstairs...Pez
