2nd story Hot!

[smokinj]

sould you push cool air to the 2nd story or pull hot air down to the 1st story?

Yes, essentially that is what a ceiling fan running in reverse does. But is this due to heat from a wood furnace or wood stove? If it's from a wood furnace, the ducting is imbalanced or improperly configured.

Try running the fan in the cathedral ceiling in reverse (up) and the hallway fan normal (blowing down).

How are these spaces being heated? Stove, forced air, radiators?

Sounds like there may be too much warm air feeding upstairs or too much fuel in the firebox for fall burning.
