Default Insulating cellar ceiling?

Greetings ~

I have a 100 year old colonial in the northeast with an oil burner and
fhw. In the winter my kitchen gets very cold. The heating design was
terrible, with only a small baseboard heater along an outside wall.
(all other rooms have big radiators.)

Would insulating the ceiling in the cellar help? The cellar does not
get ridiculously cold, but for $75 worth of insulation and a staple
gun, it would be apretty cheap fix.

Also, is there anything I can do to get more heat into the kitchen
short of putting in a new radiator?

Thanks,


Bluesman
