Jacksonduper: I would bet that old house is not very air tight. I would go with a vent less propane wall heater. I know some that will tell you that they are dangerous but I used one for years in an old drafty house without any problems. There is enough air leaks that the CO2 will never have a chance to build up. The one I have does not use any electric at all and is a flame type. The infer red ones don't work as well in a drafty house. You need to heat the air.
I have yet to find a good pellet stove that is trouble free. Most of them are cheap units that are high in maintenance. Either you have to clean the ash out of them daily or the sensors and such are failing. If you do buy a high end one then the saving is just about wiped out for several years because of the up front cost.
Trying to seal the old house up some would probably save you more heating money. An old neighbor here wraps the outside of his house every fall with plastic. He says it really cuts down on the air drafts and makes it heat easier. He just take it off in spring. He covers everything but the door. Goes right across the windows.
