I have a finished basement with Sheetrock and a new to me coal stove down there I have a open stair way to the upstairs another room away that the coal stove is in. What is the best way to cut a register in the upstairs floor to the basement. And have it looked finished on both ends I do not have any ducting at all in the house. Thanks

Lowe’s has floor register vents of all different colors and designs. They also have wall/ceiling vents. Have to figure out where the floor studs are so you don’t cut the floor or ceiling into a joist.

Remember it is not just getting the hot air up, but getting the cold return back down to the stove as well. There must be a loop.

NO---sounds like your stairway would cover your return cold air.

Only if a door is closed.
My 2nd floor bed room has a floor register near to above the kitchen range. 80+ degree air going up there. But if I close the bed room door there's no "loop" like Franco mentioned. With the door shut, the heavier cold bed room air trying to go down through that floor register blocks the lighter warm air trying to go up. The bed room temps drop until I open the door and the cold room air can go down the back stair case to return to the kitchen.

For a fire safe setup I would invest in a fusible link resister......register.

Fusible Link: A temperature sensitive device that holds the damper components in the open position, which in turn, allows air to pass through.
When the fusible link opens (because it melted), it releases the damper components to close, and they will stay closed until a new fusible link is installed.

I always tell people, yes the fire department came and put the fire out. They are hero’s to your neighbors because their house didn’t catch fire, but now your house has more water damage then it did fire damage.

What are you trying to do, shut off the damper control on the back?
