I'm attaching a crude drawing of the layout of my house, it's a ranch style with a full unfinished basement.
I've inherited this house and I'm having issues with getting the heat out of the living room, and down the hallway to the bedrooms.
When I get the large old box wood stove cranked up, it's unbearably hot in the living room, and quite warm in the dining room as well.
The kitchen is decent and the hallway up to the open transom is usually warm as well. Stepping past that transom you get an instant drop in temperature, and even worse into the bedrooms.
This house was built around 1970, has many drafts and leaks, but is decently insulated as far as I can tell.
I've tried using a pedestal fan where the small arrow is on the diagram to blow air down the hallway, but the difference is negligible.
Any suggestions?
