I know, I may have to resort to a space heater most of the year, but that sometimes blows the breaker if I am not careful.

Dale, I read them all... I do understand your point (needs to be equal drag/distance/area on each side), only was hoping to find a workaround, misguided as that may be!

Mark, I mentioned earlier in the thread that I do plan to add baffles around the back and some of the side (using metal flashing), I just don't want to get that stuff in the way when I am still trying to permanently position the makeup air ducting, so I have left it for last.
Air flow takes path of least resistance, that is the door if its open, second is duct if door is closed....... Its that simple....
