I own a high ranch with no basement , but i have no room to put the stove
on the first floor , is it smart to still put a stove on the 2nd floor, the thermostat
is on the 2nd floor. imreally want to get a stove to make the difference in my bills
on home heating next fall and winter.

How big is the house, the 2nd flr, the 1st flr and is it new contruction? If it's an older home is it well insulated?
 
Heat generally rises. You may get enough benefit if you spend most of your time upstairs.
