Best Answer

A lot will depend on where you have the furnace installed as you must have a chimney to carry the smoke outside. There is the cost of the furnace itself which must be sized properly so that it can heat the entire space. You must have the chimney or flue cleaned every year and other maintenance must be performed regularly - like removing the ashes. You must have enough wood to burn to heat the space you have in mind for the entire winter.

How does a hardy outside wood furnace work?

I am not that pleased with the hardy wood burner. Before we purchased an outside wood-burner we had an indoor. There is less dust and smoke in my house and it is like having a furnace on. The bad part is we have had a hardy for about 5 years and this summer we got a hole in the water tank and have to have someone weld it..... I live in a residential neighborhood and my neighbor complains that there is a lot of smoke and they have held a piton to make us get rid of it. (it didn't go through).. But honestly it does create a new-since. It does save us money, yearly more that I know. We have a Victorian home that resembles a doll house. The stove itself takes a lot of wood to fill it, you only fire it 2 a day and there is a lot of ashes that drop to the bottom and are sort of a pain to get out so overall i would say, if you were out living in the sticks this would be great for you, but for me it sort of sucks..... Plus if i have to get rid of it in a year or two look at all the money I am out.burning up the neighborhood in Ohio
