I know this is just another variation on putting a stove in the basement, but a little different. Has anybody tried building a small pellet stove room in the basement next to an existing forced air furnace, and then drawing the furnace cold air return through the small room to distribute the heat through the house? That way, you don't have to try to heat the whole basement to get the heat upstairs.
Functionally, I suppose it's just a homebrew add on pellet furnace, but it sounds a lot cheaper than an actual pellet furnace add-on. I suppose getting a pellet stove big enough to heat a 2000 sq. ft. house through the ducts might be a problem.
