What is fire code in a 50-60+yr old house? I have a finished basement, previous owners remodeled so that basement access door only 1/2 height. I totally removed door. There is good airflow exchange up/down the stairwell. Yes I have a woodstove in basement wherein I cut two opening in floor above, blocked off between joices and have standard registers in floor above (maybe 3 1/2-4 x 10"). BTW I made a box with one end open, kind of like ram air, to force the hot stove air as it travels along ceiling into the vents. I do have an electric fan in one but rarely use it.
There is no fireblocking in house walls that I can tell.
Installation passed inspection by proper fire authorities.
