The bedrooms are the farthest rooms from it but that works well because we enjoy using a nice quilt and having it a little cooler. I know there are larger stoves that would heat more space and I dont know how well it would transfer heat to another floor above. We have a ranch so I dont have any experience with that one! I think any choice that excludes oil is a good one to try :) Adam, if it helps we have a very small wood burning stove and it heats about 1000 sq feet pretty well.

Personally, our house is huge (4 floors - three families) so a wood stove might not heat up enough of the house but we're thinking about adding a solar/geothermal heater, perhaps a wood stove might be another good addition too, especially with the rising in heating oil.
