39. External wood stoves...
Are not as efficient as the newer epa certified indoor models which are as much as 75% efficient.

I'm going with a woodstove instead of a pellet stove, largely because I own woods. :)

Wood and pellet stoves are easier on the environment because they do not add CO2 to the atmosphere. (a tree is grown to replace one that is burned)

I not only intend on installing a woodstove in my house, I also intend on placing a water heating coil (heat exchanger) on it to preheat my domestic water.

What I wish, is that I was a skilled enough craftsman to build on of these;
