If putting a stove in the basement, and making some vents in the floor
to allow the heat to go upstairs, would it require a significant amount
of heat (pellet consumption) than having it upstairs?? What kind of
figures would it be?

Also consider that cutting a bunch of holes in the floor promotes smoke
and flame spread during a fire.
