Using attic heat for the house

Daox · 04-02-11, 05:34 PM

Another quick updated. I cut a hole in the insulation that I stuffed into the hole in the kitchen's chimney. I got the wire run down for the kitchen temperature sensor. I also made a damper for this hole. As you can see, it holds itself in place quite well just by the pressure of the air wanting to escape! So, a damper (or more) is REALLY needed otherwise I'll loose all the precious heat I'm trying to get.

Super fancy damper! I'll stick it in place with something so it doesn't fly off. In the picture, the hot air trying to escape up the chimney was enough to hold it in place quite well.
