Hello baby bud

That exactly what im thinking of doing at the moment!! ive got a TT125 fan rigged up to Aqusitic ducting, pulling fresh air thought a vent in the top of my wall.

At the moment my 2 exhust fans are just going into the room where my tents are, if i shut the door, and go out, when i come back in the room if fucking hot mate !!!

thinking about cutting a hole in the wall ( back off chimney ) exhusting all hot air up the chimney.

ive spoke to my mate about this to great lenghts, an he tinks aslong as i board up the fire place, im fine.

because im in a flat other people might use there fires ( because of the hole i might carbon monoxide posioning ???) SCOUSE

Thats my only consene monixde posining, any 1 else think its a good idea ???

Fortunately i have a vent already at the top of mine so would only need to hook up 2 ducting me thinks?

if other people are using the chimney, then that sounds dangerous. boarding up the chimney may not ne neccessary. just a load of semi inflated bin bags/trash bags wedged up there could do it.

Am on the bottom flat, there is only 1 other person above me !

my understanding of phyisics ( not much ) is that if fans are blowing into the chimney, the hot air will rise, there fore taking any other air ( carbon monoxide ) up out of the roof ?????? so no carbon will come down to my level ? SCOUSE

and if's windy the air tends to be drawn up easier. But on hot, still day there might be a risk of stink coming down the fireplace

This i never thought of , so i should use the chimney vent for drawing air in & wall vent for extraction ? Or would i still get a problem?
