There are fans made by Nutone and others that fit thru the wall to move air in a situation like yours. You would also try to run your furnace fan to circulate air. Yes I bet that room would get warm on cold days when you have to run it hard. Why the switch to pellets? What kind of stove? It is a bunch of work. Do you use NG or gas currently?

thanks for responding bruce!

we currently heat our home using propane, as a matter of fact, we use propane for heat, hot water, dryer, and cooking. needless to say, we go through ALOT of propane over the course of a year. when we first purchased our home, 4 years ago, i remember getting our first propane fill-up, it was 1.39 a galon, not a big deal, not a lot of money. since then, propane has skyrocketed and our last propane fillup cost us $3.40 a gallon. we are trying to lessen our dependency on propane, and if it weren't for the furnace, my propane usage would be approximately 250 gallons per year instead of 2000+ gallons. we would invest in a new higher efficiency furnace (ours is about 10 years old), but we live in a mobile home and the ductwork is run underneath the home. i don't feel that the ductwork itself is efficient, i believe we lose a good deal of heat through our ductwork itself. when the furnace is turned off on cold days, i can feel a definite draft blowing up through the vents. the underside of our home is completely insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. to inspect the ductwork we would have to completely take down nearly all of that. this past winter we supplemented our heat with a kero-sun kerosene heater which did a fantastic job of heating the majority of the house. i am not really comfortable with using a freestanding kerosene heater (i'm a bit paranoid), but the heat it put out was wonderful. i don't mind spendin the money on fuel to heat my house, even at over 3.00 a gallon, but i object to spending the money and still feeling cold. i like the idea of pellet and/or corn stoves. i like the idea that it is a renewable resource and that it puts the heat directly into my home. i also like the ambience of an actual fire, but i don't want a woodstove (we looked at them at the fireplace store and they got way too hot to the touch). a direct vent gas stove kind of would defeat our intention of being less dependent on gas.

we haven't narrowed down our choices on pellet stoves yet. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! i like the Quadra-Fire Castile and Mt Vernon models, even though they are a bit pricey. the castile might be a bit under-sized for what i want it for, but it's a little more attractive than the mt vernon model.

i'm going to google the nutone fans, i think something like that to move the air from one room to another would be ideal in our situation.

thanks again!
