Do you have any examples of framing out a door to accommodate a fan for wood stove heat distribution?
I am replacing an interior door for a bedroom next to our living room (where the stove is located). We'd like to keep the door closed at night but provide wood heat to that room. The 83" ceiling does not really allow for a transom - The door header is right up to the ceiling. I thought of framing out a section of adjacent wall or side trim to fit a small door fan to blow air into the bedroom and the space under the door would allow cool air back to the living room? Any other ideas?

Scott,
There are a lot of ways to do this. Here's a company that makes a fan for the purpose you suggest -- it can be mounted in a wall: ComfortGeni fan.
If you undercut the door, you'll provide a way for air to return to the living room.
