I want to have my basement set up to go to if major winter weather strikes LONG Term and no gas, electric. My heater no longer uses the chimney only the hot water heater. I would like to put something like a oven hood attached to the old heater vent to vent out smoke, can anyone see a problem with this idea??? I am trying to do this as cheap as I can and not leave it in place.

people die every year from just using a charcoal grill in the house.Iwould think a wood heater and a vent hood a sure fire disaster. A vent hood would also draw the available oxygen out also.
