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. I piped the hot-air heat into the house with insulated flexible duct-work.
I stayed this winter in northern Michigan (Alpena) and for the first time in over 30 years - I had to live with propane heat. NEVER again. If we use that house again this winter - I'm putting in a wood-furnace. What I do NOT want is an outside furnace that will not work without electricity. With the new emissions laws coming out - I curious to see what kind of price jumps all the wood burners take - inside and outside.
One thing that hurts when in Michigan is . . all my forest is cedar and poplar. No wood worth cutting and burning. I'm used to having my own wood in NY with 100 acres of hardwoods. Not free I guess when you factor in taxes. I just bought a load of 8 pulp cords of maple and ash in Alpena for $750. It irks me to pay money for wood - but it beats thousands on propane.
