I hope  you realize I'm not seriously harrassing you Frank. :-)
I use that space  too, for a 'clutter closet' for cleaning supplies, plastic
bags, etc. If  the heater vents could be placed a little more aesthetically
pleasing then  I'd be more behind the idea too. FYI--I do have the earlier
style  perforated covers for the heaters still, if you so desired you could
trim  off or seal the existing return air duct and install one of these
grilles,  then vent the cabinet anywhere or way you please. If you need more
detail  or a sample I'll send one along with the next unit coming to  you.

Karl, harrassing is good !  Now you tell me of  the alternate way to get the
fresh air intake to look better.  I certainly  agree with you it's not
aesthetically pleasing to me either.  I thought  about it a long time and could not
come up with a better solution.  Your  plan seems ideal.  So, yes send me a
couple of those vents next time you  send package up my way.  Now, guess I'll be
looking for a good used lower  cabinet door to go back where I should have
been !  Thanks !
