Default pre winter wood stove circulation question

i have a 2 story house with a wood stove insert in the livingroom /
diningroom. the stove has a blower. the room is approx 15x40'. it gets
very hot in that room and i'm trying to get the warm air to the second
floor. i can't cut vents in the ceiling as the 4 bedrooms are directly
above the main area and it would be too hot. how do i circulate the
heat? i have tried the 2 fans in the doorways of the room to attempt to
get the air up the stairwell to no avail. any suggestions? burning the
stove at a lower temp does not solve the problem. i need to get the
warm air up and the cool air down.
