I have seen on the internet a few companies that make those outdoor wood boilers. My question is.....Is there anyone on this site that knows of a outdoor wood furnace that is forced air only instead of a boiler. The reason I ask is cause I called a place in Minnesota yesterday and the base price on an outdoor boiler is $6k, hookup is not included. Total price would likely be $10k.
I really think that I could make a small cinder block shed 5 feet away from my house with a large wood stove in it and then use a large insulated duct blowing air into my crawl space, this would be used while I was at work, (much less fire risk). I would run my pellet stove when I got home from work.
My home is a 2300ft. sq. ranch with a 5 block crawl, I am in Michigan--cold in Winter.
If I were to do this I would make the shed out of cinder block with R-10 foam board inside for insulation, metal roof, a small grill vent up top and the duct would be 2 feet off the bottom and run horizontallly to the crawl vent. Inside the crawl space at the duct would be a thermostatically controlled fan.
Is this idea not practical? Is it to inefficient? I have a lot of dead elm and some ash trees for fuel.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
