1400 sq ft raised ranch. Stove is hooked up in insulated basement. Basement is roughly 500 sq ft. Going from the basement to main living floor is all open railing. Upstairs is an open layout, plus hallway with 3 bedrooms. When it's cold out I've been keeping the stove at "room temp" and 90 degrees and always on Auto for start-up. Thermostat on second floor (main living floor) typically reads 69-72. Not bad at all for stove in basement but I'd like to get as much heat upstairs and down towards the bedrooms a little more. I have no fans trying to push air down hallway towards bedrooms yet, just making sure I'm getting as much out of my stove as possible. I do not have an OAK installed either. My dealer never mentioned anything about it and reading on these forums it sounds like the OAK is the way to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Happy Holidays!
