We haven't quite gotten into the heating season here yet, but I'll ask this now because I need to starting working on the problem soon. I may decide to go to the trouble of running a duct to supply outside air for my wood burning fireplace insert. Will a register in the floor in front of the hearth supply adequate air if it is 10" below and 18" horizontally from the face of the stove? The concrete, tiled hearth is that high and that wide (front to back). There is no reasonable possibility of ducting through the hearth considering that the alternative to ductwork is to leave a door or window open a little bit. Ducting through the crawl space is daunting enough to possibly discourage me even if I can terminate at a register in the carpeted floor in front of the hearth.
