You can hook anything up to the fan, I plumbed my fans on my Hyfire to my Cold air return on my furnance

So you physically ran, say, 6-inch ductwork with a connector that you bolted / screwed to the fan intake housing? I hear allot about this but am trying to visualize the physical connection to the fan. Can't find any pics on the board on this yet.

Actually, 5" I think, whatever fit the intake of the blower. See this thread.

Do you mean CONVECTION?....

Hooking it up to the combustion blower is blowing heated air out of the chimney. If you don't mind doing that, seems okay to me.
