I was browsing Craig's Lists and came across this, A waterless outdoor wood furnace..www.airstove.com (http://www.airstove.com)  Anyone ever seen them? Pretty neat pictures on them

not a fan.....   They waste wood, nothing to store heat in, so they have to burn harder, harder to control inside temps in the home.  All that I've saw had people's clothing smelling like creosote within a couple years of use. 

I have replaced a couple of them and I am not impressed by any means

Ayuh,...    Agreed,...  Hot water is much easier to manage than hot air....
