We have an outdoor wood furnace made by Century. We really like it- we have the smallest model- it heats the house (2800sq ft), shed(1000sq ft) and our hot water. Here in Wisconsin, we fill it once most days , twice when its really bitter. It cost about $5000 with all the tubing, we did the installation. The wife researched several brands and talked to people who owned outdoor furnaces before we bought. You can certainly ask your local dealers if you can call any of the people they've sold to. Also ask their policy on self-installation, some insist that they must do the installation at a cost of $500- $1000. It looks like you know most of the pros- but the wife wants to mention that if you add on the hot water heater attachment- even the last person gets a hot shower. The cons are the same as for any wood furnace- the effort of wood cutting- and if you want the wife to fill the thing, you still have to split the wood into pieces she can handle.
