Fireplaces are to look at, watching the embers in the crispy spring or fall, not to try to heat with. Any open fireplace will draft $$$$ up the chimney unless closed off air-tight. If money's tight, any kind of old wood/coal burner, with the smokepipe a foot or two up the chimney and thru a fitted closure (make it out of any kind of rigid fireproof material) will throw a lot more heat, and a $10 second-hand store fan blowing on it, or straight up, is a good cheap air circulator. If no hearth you'll have to put something under the stove to insulate any wood etc. Did you verify each fireplace has its own flue? Don't rely on the chimney dampers; even closed, they're not near airtight. If you're going to be in the house for several years, consider putting in some old fashioned registers that, when opened, allow heat to rise from the basement to the first floor, and on up. Good luck.
