I installed a Meyers Woodchuck wood-furnace nearly 10 years ago outside next to my house. Model 4000. I built a room around it, along with a Canadian stainless-steel chimney (more fireproof then USA versions). It's attached to the house. It has worked great. Hooked to our oil furnace air-ducts. Also has hot water coils hooked to an 80 gallon storage tank and in-series with our propane tank heater. The room around the furnace holds about 3 full cords of wood at a time (4' X 4' X 8'). A side benefit is we can hang all our wet winter clothes in there and they dry fast. Same with wet firewood.
I didn't want to use an outdoor-type furnace because of the high cost and the possibility of leaks with a boiler system. This Meyer's furnace is basically just a hot-air furnace with a stainless-steel coil just for domestic hot water.

My three-story barn and shop is heated with the same wood-stove as Jay NY shows in his photos. A Thermo-Control 500 made in Cobleskill, NY. A very crude, utilitarian furnace that can really throw heat. Mine has no fan and just heats by convection. It's baffle has been burned out twice but weld in a new one when needed. I used to work for a Thermo-Control dealer. I went to Cobleskill a few years ago and was surprised to find a few guys there still making them. They were trying to "tweak" them a bit and market them as out-door furnaces instead of indoor "woodstoves" which the EPA no longer allows.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
