Hello! Wasn't sure where to post this.

I have this forced air appliance that is hooked up in the garage, we never use it. If I were to guess, one of the ducts is for intake?
My question is: can I just remove the in-take duct from the unit so that it pulls air directly from inside the garage and will spread the heat throughout the home?

I just started a small mining operation in my 2 car garage, and to my surprise my garage keeps the heat in very well. Too well.
After 12 hours or so I have to open the garage door to vent out the heat, as the ambient temp in the garage reaches over 85F and the cards near their throttle temp.

The garage is well insulated apparently. There is a side door and the garage door is functional, but I live in an area that gets regular heavy morning fog and wild animals including racoons/coyotes walk up and down the streets like they own the place. Due to these reasons I don't think its a good idea to just leave the door cracked.
