Ceiling fans - up or down?

I have a small log home. The main room is 22 X 30 with an 18 foot
cathedral ceiling. There are two fans - up high. I am supplementing
the baseboard (oil) heat with two electric radiators. (I made the
mistake of pre-buying the oil at $4.779/gallon). The fans, being up
high, are not easy to get at to change direction. Right now they are
set to "blow" down. Is this the best way to distribute the heat or
would up be better?

Usually blowing down is better and more comfortable for cooling. You
might want to change to a remote controlled fan.
