pump the heat generated by the wood stove back down into the bedrooms. I’m m having trouble finding something not sketchy though.

Wood stove is mostly good enough for the main room, but the bedrooms get a bit cold.

I have a propane fireplace in the living room that heats that quite competently but like you, bedrooms are always chilly.I *hate* my heat. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 09:13 4

  - Yeah, but my house was built in 1905, and it almost never drops below about 10C outside. - mafic Jun 3, 09:26 1
    - I get the why of it, but still sounds like a nightmare. If I am cold, I want to switch the thermostat to "Heat" and be done with it. - Spawn Jun 3, 09:28
  - in theory I have central heat. in practice it's forced hot air and I like my skin *and* my upstairs is converted loft space (so electric heat) - amanda Jun 3, 09:19
