Need to move warm air from above a wood stove about 18 feet down to basement floor

in THE MAIN WALL
I heat primarily with solar and wood. When my wood stove is hot I'd like to blow the warm air from the ceiling above the stove straight down a duct to my basement floor. It's a pretty easy retro-fit in my floor plan. Each floor is about 750 sq ft. I'd like a variable speed fan. What sort of fan size / cfm will I need? An open stairway easily lets the air return to the main floor.

I'm new to this forum. I live in Southern Colorado. My background is in construction and remodeling.

Many thanks to anyone who may offer advice. Joe

    It's had to say but they make inline booster fans for ductwork like 6" round. I would probably put the fan in the basement to reduce noise.
