I thought about ways to beat the system over the years. After putting the pencil to the projects initial cost and all that goes with it, the annual maintenance can be a real headache. I figured it wasn't worth it. Besides, I wasn't sure that all that initial effort would work. No idea as to how much tweaking would be necessary and the practicality of that.
I read somewhere about a guy that dug a huge hole, filled it with rocks , built his house over the filled pit and used it to cool his house in the summer. Never got in on how that turned out....
When you figure BTUs per unit volume/cost of petroleum products and compare that to naturally occurring potential solutions, my numbers don't justify it.......quick point of reference is my 500 gallon Propane tank and my firewood pile.

Course I could adapt a propane burner in it instead of the wood and worry about what did I overlook that could burn my house down.....or blow it up!!!!!!
