[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2688481, member: 750"] Biggest thing to help with the cooling of the rest of the house is to get an outside fresh air source. The problem with traditional fireplaces is that it doesn't have it's own dedicated fresh air which means it pulls in air from the house, heats it and sends it right out the chimney through convection. This creates a low pressure inside the house and the conditioned air is then replaced with unconditioned air from outside that gets pulled in around windows/doors, through walls, etc. Get it a fresh air source and it will make a world of difference. If you have an ash box, to scoop the ashes down into with an outside cleanout, that's a great place to pull fresh air. [/QUOTE]
