Hi Jack - I got your message, thanks for thinking of me.
I started out burning coal in a Heatrola. They are a nice stove, other than the grate you will need to check the seams and see if they need to be resealed. Mine had some pretty big air leaks that I fixed with furnace cement.
If you find a nice one, it should do a good job in your basement.

Hi Jack,
did you find a way to move heat around or did you decide the 617a is just not big enough ?
don't just give it away, i'll come back and get it if that's what it takes.
