Gonna get interesting, to say the least.

Extended front, I've got a fan running across the glass, not to shabby. Ceiling fans in mode.

Put a standing fan 10 feet opposite the insert on "low". It will help a lot.

Have box fans, no standing fans. I have a box fan at the other end of the house pushing air into the den (PE lives there) that has 2 door openings that recirculate.
 
That might work. Black Friday tomorrow, you might be able to pick up something "cheap".

Tenative ETA for new insert fan is 3 weeks.

Moral of this story .... clean your fan assembly, I didn't and it died ;em
 
I cannot believe that a skilled petroleum engineer can't help when the problem boils down to "It's too cold in here". ;lol

If any one is gonna get through this, it's gonna be me :cool:

Again, I am not an engineer. I am an analytical chemist. That's like a butcher vs a baker.

Okay here it is; an engineer designs processes. An analytical chemist looks at those designs, breaks them down in small pieces and analyses them. That's what I used to do. These days, I travel the world and teach people how to do that.

Meh, I bet YOUR solution doesn't involve any towering flames that blot out the night sky.

They should replace that ol drama queen on Life Below Zero with you Dix. I hope you got the aftermarket equivalent, much cheaper for the same product.
 
Congrats Dix. You just got promoted to "he". ;lol;lol;lol
