When I lived up north we had a Vermont downdrafter woodstove in our basement. It was attached to our airducts to let the heat go to all the rooms. We didn't have the blocked walls insulated but did have them coated for moisture. We did use a silver foil type with backing since it was below ground and was afraid the insulation would get damp. The block walls were studded and had wood paneling. We did use insulation in the walls between rooms and ceiling helped make it more sound proof. The room where the woodstove was had brick over the blocks. Woodstove do help with heating saved us alot of money.
