[GBlist] Heat Sources

["John H. Alderman III" <mountice@bellsouth.net>]

First make sure that you have a combustion air source to prevent drawing a
vacuum on your structure. This would greatly increase infiltration and a
chilling of the entire perimeter. You can also suck in RADON gas with its
lovely daughter CESIUM.

I would then put in a high efficiency blower to draw air from high inside
the upstairs and discharge it thru a duct down to the lower level.
Grainger has several variable speed inline blowers that are well worth the
money on efficiency and quiet. If you wish a variable speed triac switch
and perhaps a relay and Thermostat.

There are possbilities with a reversable blower for a/c destratify. 

A pleat filter on the upper end will catch all those escapees from your stove.

Just another snorkel..
