Can I duct co2 burner (generator) from outside room ?

Is it possible to have the co2 burner hanging outside of the grow room while connecting metal duct work on to the opening of the generator and possibly run the duct work through the ceiling joints and then have it running all the way down the middle of my room with multiple downwards protruding duct vents trickling down co2 onto my plants ? Obviously this would be to keep some heat out of the room

Im not certain enough to give a definitive answer, but why not poke around at some of the variables. My knee jerk would say your proposed system would work, given some careful tweaking. If you could isolate and collect the burner output, without tripping any safety feature shut downs due to heat or product quality, maintain the proper air to fuel ratio, which may require boosting input air, and had it elevated above your grow or the ducts boosted, you will have effectively created a CO2 feed to your grow; as well as death in a metal tube if it happens to leak in an area you're not expecting and is prone to bad circulation. That being said, I would of already tried it by now, nothing in that minor think through screams STOP to me.

Not to change the subject but I just ordered a rather inexpensive set of units.
I read the reviews and the first one said that he was surprised at the Co2 already in room.
He said he realized pushing air meant losing the C02 he already had.
So I think the wisdom is to know what you got first.
I know first hand how enhanced C02 helps budz but that is a story for another day.

What I bought to try out.

If the room is small wouldn't a C02 tank system be safer?
