    Can I use Heat fueled fans in my old fireplace vents

    We renovated a 1940 Tudor home with a gorgeous fireplace that had been hidden behind an old brass fireplace cover which you can see the soot build up in one of the photos. Fast forward, after finishing the renovation, we would like to add gas logs and wondered if we could add heat activated fans...

    Quad 3100 insert pre/act. Blower fans.

    I’m looking for new fans. Can anyone recommend a company that sells a more quiet fan?

    Moving hot air

Seems like it cranks out more than enough heat but what do people use to move heat from point a (stove room) to point b (Unheated bedroom of doom at the other end of the house)?

    Moving heat around with fans

    In the past I have moved the hot air coming off a stove around the house by sucking it into the back of a fan on low and moving it upstairs, now that I have an insert in the main floor I want to keep some heat on that floor and move it upstairs too. If you want to move more air you just end up...
