Moving hot air from one room to another.

[First-light]

I had installed a Lopi Endeavor stove in the family room. I want to move some of the hot air from there to the kitchen. I bought a fan its on the desk but doesn't work well.  Any suggestions? Both rooms are cathedral ceilings.

Do your cathedral ceilings have ceiling fans by chance?  Having that will help circulate that hot air back down to ground level.

I've used something like this (not this exact one) in the past to move heat from my coal stove to another area of the house; it worked pretty well overall:  https://www.amazon.com/Blades-Heat-Powered-Stove-Fan/dp/B07ZKDJMFJ/ref=asc_df_B07ZKDJMFJ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385309235643&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2531962703046623205&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005171&hvtargid=pla-844529193522&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=75980285662&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385309235643&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2531962703046623205&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005171&hvtargid=pla-844529193522

The cooler air in the house is more dense and can be blown towards the warm air and moves the warm air to the area where the cooler air left. We use a small fan on the floor of the cooler area of the house and point it toward the wood stove area.

I have had my cookstove in the kitchen fired up for about a month now, on top of my refrigerator I have a quiet but high CFM Vornado fan blowing toward the living-dining room. I do not have a big house but it is heated pretty well with just this setup circulating and mixing the air. I have been using this setup for years now and it works fairly well. 

What you want to stay away from is one of those stove top fans that generate their power from heat, expensive, low CFMs and they do not last.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was about the people who left and went to a different site. lol

Those rooms look like a very nice place to kick back after a cold day hunting in the woods.

I use a corner fan to draw heat down to the bedroom's

We have a woodstove and have two of these little fans on top and they work great , they use no power !

You bet, hope it helps. I really like the look of your knotty pine walls there.
