I installed a Meyers Woodchuck wood-furnace nearly 10 years ago outside next to my house. Model 4000. I built a room around it, along with a Canadian stainless-steel chimney (more fireproof then USA versions). It's attached to the house. It has worked great. Hooked to our oil furnace air-ducts. Also has hot water coils hooked to an 80 gallon storage tank and in-series with our propane tank heater. The room around the furnace holds about 3 full cords of wood at a time (4' X 4' X 8'). A side benefit is we can hang all our wet winter clothes in there and they dry fast. Same with wet firewood.
I didn't want to use an outdoor-type furnace because of the high cost and the possibility of leaks with a boiler system. This Meyer's furnace is basically just a hot-air furnace with a stainless-steel coil just for domestic hot water.

My three-story barn and shop is heated with the same wood-stove as Jay NY shows in his photos. A Thermo-Control 500 made in Cobleskill, NY. A very crude, utilitarian furnace that can really throw heat. Mine has no fan and just heats by convection. It's baffle has been burned out twice but weld in a new one when needed. I used to work for a Thermo-Control dealer. I went to Cobleskill a few years ago and was surprised to find a few guys there still making them. They were trying to "tweak" them a bit and market them as out-door furnaces instead of indoor "woodstoves" which the EPA no longer allows.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
