LOL I know it's summer at the time of this post. Moved into apartment in NY that heats with a natural gas stove. is is the only source of heat. I have two bedrooms, and I would like to be able to close the door to these rooms for privacy and noise. It there a fan or ducting system that one could install to accomplish this?

Master bedroom is on the other side of the wall of the stove.
Second bedroom is less than 10 feet away. I have all drop ceilings.

Looking at fans, noise on those fans, the electricity they use versus heating efficiency. But unable to find anything on this, and don't want to screw thing up. Lack of info tells me I shouldnt do this? Any thoughts?
-- thanks in advance!

Sounds too complex. Are there adjoining walls, or outside wall. Some
prudent use of electric heat might work. I had an apartment with adjoining
duplex, but didn't have to worry about closing bedroom door.

A space heater setup like that means open doors.
Thick down comforters are in order. An electric mattress pad is nice
too. If it was your place you could duct the air to rooms off the
heated room. That would kind of defeat the purpose of a single room
space heater setup, which gains most of it efficiency by NOT heating
the less used rooms "too much."

By "stove", do you mean a gas range, cook top? If so, since that would not
vent the fumes outdoors, you may be at risk of carbon monoxide.

Being rented apartment, you'd be wise to check with the property manager. A
couple portable electric fans might help, but less privacy.

Heating an apartment with a gas stove? Putting a duct system
on a stove? Either this is a troll or it's time to call the NYC
housing/code officials.

....and if it's not a troll, would you trust the wiring in such a place?

He said NY, not NYC. It could be NYC, but that is an assumption.

I believe modern gas furnaces isolate the flames from the living space via
"heat exchangers" and the like to eliminate the possibility of CO poisoning.
I haven't checked, but I understand that gas space heaters can't be had for
love or money for the same reason.

This fear is highly over-rated. *I* grew up with gas space heaters, and
there's nothing wrong with me.

LOOK! A squirrel !!

How can you come to either conclusion from what he/she wrote? The
Subject says "natural gas heater" and the body says "natural gas stove".

You should check. You'd find out that there are dozens of options for
unvented gas space heaters.

This fear is highly over-rated. *I* grew up with gas space heaters, and

I'll argue your well-being, perhaps, but not your opinion on the
safety of gas space heaters. Size it right- get a CO detector and
they are as safe as any combustible in the house.

Well for one thing, I think it would be pretty unusual
to ever call a heater a "stove" unless it actually was one.
But more importantly, who in their right mind would
be asking about putting a duct system into a nyc apartment
rental so you could move heat from a stove or a
space heater in one room to another with the doors
closed? In my world that's so ridiculous that it
looks more like a troll.

Then we have the issue that they are asking this
question having just moved into the apartment?
Would you move into an apartment and start
re-engineering the heat without even knowing
what happens in the winter? Would you even
rent an apartment where you thought this was
a problem going in?

And finally we have the fact that as of now we
haven't heard another word from the OP....

No Stormin, a combination appliance, direct vent heating unit
which is combined into the same unit as a conventional
stove with a cook top and oven and an enameled "counter"
area above the heating unit which has a large exhaust duct
emerging from the rear area of the flat top and exiting through
a connection to a chimney like you would see with a woodburning
stove...

They are rather common in the new england region in rental
units because the tenant pays for the heat rather than the
landlord trying to heat the whole triple-decker with one boiler
unit in the basement...
