My "furnace" is a boiler with one zone circulating the entire house.
I have a wood burning fire place on the main floor. The thermostat is also on the main floor.
When I burn the fire place, the main floor heats up and the lower floor gets colder than crap.
I want to install a second thermostat on the lower floor to keep the boiler @ 70 degrees....to keep that lower floor at 70 degrees....inspite the fact that the upper floor, with the fireplace burning, raises the temp on the main floor up to as much as 80 degrees!
Yeah, yeah, why burn the fire place and the boiler at the same time. Answer, to keep the lower floor warm!
Can't run duct work from the main floor fire place to the lower floor in a finished house!
There are many places to find gas furnace prices. One can look on sites like Furnace Price Guides, Century Gas Furnace, and Consumer Reports. One can also find gas furnace prices by going to a local heating supply store.
One could find information on gas furnace troubleshooting online at Ask. Hvac for beginners is also a great place to look. One could also contact their local gas furnace dealer and/or repairer for gas furnace troubleshooting.
The thermostat that is set higher will turn the system on if two thermostats are wired in parallel. You can use any number of thermostats on the system. What you probably want to get is a zone control system. Each room gets heat regulated as desired because the controller manages not only when the furnace turns on but also when dampers open to deliver heated air to the various rooms that are being controlled.

Of course If the flue is sized properly
Yes, that's what I have in my house. Each furnace/thermostat combo is separate. I just set them both to the same temperature and it all works fine.
Could be a drain for the inducer motor if it has one and it depends do you have a a/c coil on your furnace if so it could be a drain for it.
The thermocouple tells the gas valve to supply gas to the burners. If the thermocouple is bad then the furnace will not work or the pilot will not stay lit. A properly working one will have a reading of at least 12 milliamps.
Yes, if you have two zones. Most furnaces (forced air) have but one zone. Zone dampers must be added and special consideration to original duct design must be made by a professional.
Read the tag on your furnace for the input/output rating. American Standard and all other manufacturers make more than one size furnace.
