Something to keep in mind for you Cigar room guys..
*Never* put a cold air return in your smoking room. For you guys with basements, the basement will be cool enough in the summer, and you can use electric heat in the winter.
For those of you who don't have basements, you can use "ductless" A/C systems..and again electric heat.
*Venting* When venting your exhaust duct, pick a good location, with no windows above, or no "fresh air" intakes around. What I mean by "fresh air" intakes.. These 90% furnaces have fresh air intakes installed on the outside of your home. You DON'T want your exhaust anywhere near that, or the smoke will get sucked in your fresh air intake..and THROUGH OUT the house! To tell if you have a 90%er furnace if you're not sure, go look at your furnace, and if you see 2 - 2" PVC lines being ran outside..you have a 90%er.
Also remember..that smoke can leave a nasty yellowish stain on the side of your home, so vent properly.
I hope this helps for everyone.,

Ryan would be the one to talk to.
Are you referring to the in-line heater or the furnace?
I'm talking about the cold air return for your furnace.
See..Dampers are meant for feeds..not returns. Depending on the size of the room, if your feeding it with cold air(A/C running)..and not returning the same amount of air..you could possibly freeze the "A" coil. You're not supposed to have restrictions with cold air return.
Plus..most people turn off registers in the home, if they are not using that room. That forces cold air into other parts of the house.(summer time)
If you get enough rooms not returning as much air..as your feeding...you could freeze the "A" coil. If you freeze the "A" coil, air flow will stop, and you will have a leak.

I have nothing hooked up to my funace for this room. The room has an exhaust and a fresh air intake w/a duct heater.http://www.electromn.com/gen/makeup_air.htm
The room is looking great so far! I'm excited to see the room take shape. Mark and I were having a smoke in our cigar room tonight and were talking about how cool it is to see others doing similar types of projects. It's totally worth it when you get to the end result. It looks like you have everything under control, but if any questions come up just let me know and i'll gladly provide any input I can. Great work thus far!!
Thanks, you've been a great deal of help already:tu
