newbee with new classic and thermostat question

Finally took the plunge and bought a quad classic! Wow made a great choice thanks to all the help and infgo on this forum
so here is my problem: I replaced a propane fireplace insert in my living room. Across from my new pellet stove on the opposite wall is the thermostat for my propane furnace. I bought a remote thermostat with the pellet stove.
When I run just the pellet stove the basement stays really cold because the house thermostat never comes on and the heat generated by the pellet stove never gets downstaires, it goes up to the second floor bedrooms...hot air rises...right? If I turn the house thermostat up to heat the basement the pellet stove won't come on..
It appears that without putting a fan on the stairs to the basement there is no way to set the thermostats that they don't cancil each other out.
Am I in trouble or just looking at this wrong?
Any suggestions?

Nice looking install on the wood stove TJ.
Our basement area is the tv room, computer work area, etc.
I think I will try just using the pellet for those 30 degree days and keep the propane off...see if the cold is really bad downstairs or if its do-able.
If not I will move the thermostat downstairs and use some propane...its' small sq ft compare to the rest of the house.
Running on just pellets today .. 30°...and was even able to shut down the propane furnace for the upstairs bedrooms (I have two propane furnaces, one for the main floor/basement and one for the upstairs bedrooms).
Wow..lovin this not using propane!!

The out the door price for everything was around $3,600 and we are 70 miles from the dealer...got a ton of free pellets and an ash vac to boot!
I figure even with 50% use the payback will be 2-3 years and thats' if prices don't raise again...ha!
We were at $2.20/gal monday down from $4.85 three weeks ago.

Thanks for all the input!!

My theory on the propane prices is that it is all about what I used to call " willingness to pay" meaning to make max profit you have to determine what the public is willing to pay. Much like the gas you put out a very high price increase then sit back and judge the reaction of the public. If its too strong as in the case of $5 gal gas you drop it back to a lower price. Never what it was originally but enough to make people say ""wow, I'm glad the price is back down!" But they never realize it used to be $1.70 as in propane so now you think $2.20 is great. Wait a little while and raise it again but not as high...then eventually lower it but again never back to what it was before the raise. Anyway thats my thoughts. We in the midwest had over $5 at the Kansas propane central storage while at the same time the storage in Texas was $1.57! The interesting point was according to the Propane association "Kansas supplies Texas"

Thanks again for the input

Soon this will be over for another year and I can go crappie fishing...thats what really counts!
