Looking for doorway fan ideas

[gthomas785]

Background: Having been built in the 1820s, my house has pretty small rooms. Two front rooms are about 13x14, with 8ft ceilings and a hallway/stairs in between. These rooms are joined in the back by a larger 15x20 family room with 7ft ceiling. I have a stove in the left front room because that's where the chimney is.

If I have a fire going, the stove room easily gets to 85+ degrees but I still hear my furnace cycling (thermostat is in the adjacent hallway set to 66). So to move heat out of the tiny stove room, I have been using this box fan on the floor blowing cool air from the hallway. So cool air comes in this door and out the other door into the family room. It works great except that it blocks the doorway and I'm constantly tripping over it, or moving it and forgetting to put it back, etc.

Any ideas how I can get a similar effect without a giant fan in the doorway? Thanks

Have you seen these? I used one, with moderate
success, to move heated air up a staircase.
It worked, but not great, & the cord was unsightly.
You might find it cheaper elsewhere & I believe there
are battery-operated models available...

2 Of these are what get used at my place. If its cold enough to need fan assist. At least you can dodge them easier!

Those are great fans. I have several and have run one 24/7 for over a year now to circulate air in my shop. The airflow is very focused and travels a long distance for the small size of the fan.
