I live in southern NH and am looking for a wood stove for my split level home. Temps here can get pretty cold, it was about 9 degrees last night which is typical this time of year. We have electric baseboard heat which is a killer. In the basement which is semi-finished (no ceiling/insulation between the lower and upper level) is a large hearth set up to run a wood stove. Looking to see if anyone has had experience in putting a wood stove in the basement and having that help heat the upper level of their split level house. There is a large ceiling fan in the entry way of the home, so I am thinking that would help draw some air upstairs but im not sure. We went out looking today and we are are willing to spend the money to get an appropriate size stove if this is a reasonable option. All feedback is appreciated.
