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.

They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
