If you only want to heat the finished part of the basement a stove may be enough. How many sqft would that be?

Of course, the furnace would have the advantage that you can potentially tie it into your heating system and heat your entire home with wood from just one location.

a little over 3500 sq ft in the basement. I like the idea of tying it into the duct work.

thanks,

So you want to heat the entire 3500 sqft although part of it will be unfinished? Then the wood furnace would be a good idea.

Check with your HVAC installer and the furnace manufacturer whether the tie in is possible. That's not really something I know but I would explore that option.
