how many BTU per hour do i need for our house?

we are looking at getting a coal stove for our house.

the house is about 22 years old. no duct work 7 fairly large rooms. the avg outside temp is well below freezing. the walls are ok with keeping the cold out. the house is about 1250 sq feet in the basement and about the same upstairs also. would like the house to be around 80F

Update:

the basement is open so we would use fans to get it to move around down there and then go up the vents. we have floor vents but not duct work
