The question is i a have a wood burner in my basement with a cold air return vent in that room.If i light the fire and turn on the summer fan can i block the upstairs cold air returns, to force the warm air from the basement through the remaining cold air return into the furnace to the rest of the house and not cause any damage to my furnace or health to anybody in my house hold
