I'll add that our weather here is probably colder than you get in Micigan - unless you live at a northern tip of the U.P. We get 35 below F here at times - much of Michigan weather seems to be not as cold, less extemes, but a longer cold over a long time. I spend a fair amount of time at the northern tip of the lower peninsula - just below the Mac bridge in Presque Isle County. I have a house and small farm there. My land up there seems to have a week later Spring - and a week earlier winter - but with less extremes in weather than here in NY. Also - a lot less good hardwoods up there - but you have to take what you can get.
Also - to add one more comment. The wood-furance I am using is very heavy plate steel and of simple design. It's made by a farm equipment company - Meyer Manufacturing in Wisconsin. I used their Woodchuck 4000. A fire that could spread to the house - the way this is set up - is close to impossible. There are other wood furnaces out there with hot-air. Some, e.g. the "Caddy" made in Canada is the most efficient hot-air furnace ever tested by the EPA. But . . . the Canucks in Québec refused to sell one to me here in the U.S. so I never got to try it. Then there's the Yukon that someone else mentoned here. It can be equipped as a combo with an oil-gun to start the wood fire. I had one, I personally didn't like it. Built thin and cheap in my opinion. Kalamazoo used to sell one that is similar.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
