I have a small room that will get some humidity from earth behind a wall (I cannot dug, no way!)
I have the idea that the air from the room will be sucked by each fire, creating some air circulation and removing humidity.
My idea comes from crossing 2 facts I heard about:
1) I read the advice to close the mouth
feed after the fire, so that the hot air will not go away from the room.
2) People from the countryside say that a good old chimney is the best for drying a house.
This cannot be only from the heat, as the
water changed into vapor must go away for a real drying effect!
I guess that vapor goes away with the heat, through the chimney.
-> So I conclude that if I can afford to loose some warm air (anyway the conduction effect is what I first need!)
then each time I make a fire, and more over if I do not close the fire place when the fire is off, then a draft will be created and will replace some room's air with air from outside (or according to the entry of air I will provide).
I believe this effect can be typical of any open fire versus closed fire (those behing a window).
Have some folks
already noticed some drying effects in a place that is heated by a rocket?
