I am thinking about adding a wall vent in between a bedroom and living room (where the wood stove is). My thoughts were that it would help with the bedroom temps and cut down on the cool draft from the hallway. I have done the fan trick and find it makes the master bedroom to warm without much improvement to the second. And makes it chilly sitting on the sofa.
Questions:
1: Is there any safety concerns?
2: Will it work?
I am attaching a sketch I have done on my phone , forgive me for its sloppiness. If a better diagram is needed I can make one up tonight. The blue circle is where the stove is and the red X is the proposed vent location.
Thanks, Mark
