IMHO I would definitely consider a cat stove for your situation. Especially if your going to keep the stove on the first floor.
I am impressed you are getting that long of a hold over on coals and being able to have enough to get it going again come morning. It would take a bit of getting used to for me to cut 10 inch splits as my eye and saw are really trained on 16 but I agree they would season faster for sure. When you are running full tilt how close are you able to stand near it and remain comfortable or at least keep your clothes on
