I know jack shit about doing work around the house so this might come off as a dumb question but: wouldn't the plate let the chimney's smoke fill up your room?

>delicious hot air heat
This is where you fucked up because it doesn't have circulation, you have put a hole in the wall for nothing

>>1107430
the actual smoke is in the chimney pipe, which is double walled and made of metal. The "chimney" is the enclosure around that tube

>>1107431
You could be right, but wont warm air try to rise and thus create at least some circulation / heat transfer?

>>1107435
There is no circulation so it is purely convection, but even that will be at about zero because of the tiny slots don't exactly do shit unless there is circulation i.e. air pressure.

The warmth already goes into the room via radiation from the wall. If it isn't insulated, it would be rather efficient already. A hole covered up by a metal thing would do about nothing to the heat transfer.

But at least now you have a place to hide cash or whatever.

damnit anon, and i felt so good about the whole thing. You recon i can get some circulation going if i make another ventilation hole on the ground floor?

Not really. This... isn't how it works. This isn't how heating works, this isn't how circulation works, this isn't how walls work, etc. There is no "extra heat" even if you tear down the wall. The heat already is going into the room from the wall itself. Even if you built an elaborate heat pipe from the chimney into the room, you will heat up the room faster, and cool faster, but faster is not warmer, there is no "extra" heat.

was waiting for someone to make that image.

Yes, clearly you should be adding more holes to your walls to heat your room. Do you even understand their purpose and why there is usually insulation in them? You sir may just be a little retarded. Find actual problems to solve with your tools you degenerate

One does not [typically] insulate internal walls. It complicates things, and achieves nothing.

People can and do insulate internal walls. Are you trying to start something, Mr. attempted Pedantic? Try googling.

How about a small fan? I'm in South Florida, so I don't know shit about chimneys, but could it pull air from that area?

If not, a vent next to it would help. Hell, a custom duct creating a seal between the left and right side of the vent could pull heat.

>>1107536
Why would you? It helps achieve a more accurate ambient temperature if internal walls are uninsulated. I have never owned or lived in a home with insulated interior walls. 8+ houses since I was 15 and DIYing electrical.

Sure, when there's a specific reason to do so. There usually isn't.
