Electric-geothermal heat can be very costly in areas with high electric-rates and severe cold - so don't be so hard on wood burning. Geothermal is not always such a great deal. If it was, I'd install it.
I heat 100% with wood and am also on 100% solar electric. My house and barn both have wood furnaces, but in my house I've also got a soap-stone wood stove. We use it when it cool out, but not quite cold enough to fire up the big furnace. I've got the biggest Hearthstone EPA rated stove. It was a learning curve for me to use, after being more accustomed to older type burners. It does not take big wood, and it's hard to get a roaring fire in it. But, once going, it is amazingly efficient. One sidenote. I use a large three-point hitch splitter on my tractor, along with a large PTO pump and love it. Nice thing is, if I cut a huge tree somewhere, I can back the splitter right up to it, and split on site. Not quite so easy with a trailer splitter.
