Check it out thoroughly. A lot of those outdoor wood heaters require piping going under your floor... IOW.... steam heat.

If you already have your home built, you might want to check out a masonry wood stove.

A lot easier and cheaper to install "after the fact". They are VERY, VERY efficient. About three times as efficient as a standard wood stove.

The only down side I've heard of is hard water deposits need to be acid washed out or something like that.( evry other year) Only know 1 family in the Ozarks that has one and its Dependant on electricity for the pumping of the waster into the heat exchange or radiators.

keep the pot belly just in case electric goes down.

Point of interest he keeps a pile of logs next to it and chainsaws off disks to burn rather than splitting.
