Outdoor wood furnace possibility

10 years ago

We are building a house in the country in Iowa. The land is heavily forested so we would like to take advantage of this ready supply of wood to reduce our energy costs and also have an alternative heat source. Our home will be all electric but we are looking into an outdoor wood furnace to augment a standard furnace if the price isn't too high. Does anyone have experience with an outdoor wood furnace? We do not mind the extra work involved and like the idea of having it outdoors. Alternatively, we are considering a wood stove but like the idea of less mess with the outdoor furnace. We would appreciate any advice if you have experience with either of these heating methods.
