That's how I heat my house. I took an indoor hot-air wood furnace and mounted it 30 feet from the house. But - built an insulated room around it and attached it to the house. So I never have to go outside to load the furnace. I can also store 3 full cords of wood inside where it gets warm and dry from the furnace. I can also clean the chimney from inside.
