I don't think I was clear on my ceiling height- it is 26' peaked. All the walls are 11' high. Yes it is a soaring ceiling. The cross beams height are at 13' plus. I am really hoping that mounting it/them on the beam(s) will be adequate, instead of on a rod coming down from the ceiling just for convenience sake. I do not want a lighted fixture where I have to change the bulbs, either.
XPC-using your formula, I guess I would double the 13' @ $.50 per day to $1.00 because it is 26' high? Then again, it is what it is and heated with wood from the property, so the cost is my labor. I want more heat for my efforts and the idea of the fan running reverse to "pull down" the heat seems appealing.
It is interesting that you found "medium up" the most effective. That says a bit about the amount of power required in the motor.
Thank you for taking the time to do the quick test and posting your findings. I'll look at that information more closely.
Pat, I do understand the destratifying concept from my pond, but hadn't originally thought of the air in my room in those terms: mixing.
