Going to be building a house with about 1400 finished up stairs. Open kitchen and dinning w/ vaulted ceilings. 3 bedrooms on one end. And 1200 downstairs when fully finished. (Basement will slowly get finished as $ allows)
Basement:

Stove will be placed in basement opposite the stairs. Where the W.I. closet it is. The plan is being changed and the bedroom/bath area will be moved over to the left and take the place of the "storage". With out a blower am I going to get decent heat to the stairway? I do plan on pointing a floor fan at the stove.
Here is the upstairs:

Plan on putting a floor fan by the bedroom doors as well to help with a convection loop there as well. Will have a ceiling fan in LR in the vaulted ceiling too.
Does the stove stay 500-600 for a decent amount of the burn time. I do like the idea of 10-12 hours of "usable" heat many have mentioned.
