What do you think of fabricating some type of flue cap that directs the hot air down the duct??? I've looked online but anything off the shelve is going to be too big to get through the opening in the floor.

They should have listed a sauna bath as one of the options on the 3895.

Mike, i pulled out fireplace yesterday to reveal great access to the back of the furnace and the ducting coming off it. With any luck i will have attached a picture that clearly shows the short 4" ducting that comes off top of furnace running to an aluminum plenum box mounted beneath the bathroom register. Its no wonder the register gets so hot! With right materials/connectors there are several options. I was thinking of splitting the 4" with a 2" tee and dump it in the belly.
