I have special feelings for this type of stoves, so I'll post a few pictures.  Good thing is that you can have one stove, but build it so that it can heat 2-3 rooms (so that you have warm walls in each room).  "warm wall" is just how I would call it, have no idea what's the correct word, actually even stove is not quite correct. I wonder what English speaking people would call these.

I've never seen those in Armidale, or Australia for that matter. My neighbour has a small wood heater which heats water which is pumped around his house, with fans that blow the warmth into the rooms.

That is basically what my central heating was in my apartment. Hot water circulates in the house, through radiators.

We have a saying in Estonia, "to write in the chimney" When lets say someone owes you money, but there's no way to get it back, then you can write the debt in the chimney. Just a little connection, if you have fireplace in the house, but no way to store the heat, then it just goes out from the chimney.

These warm walls are basically heaters that are built around the stove. They could be bigger or smaller and their heat-emitting capacity ranges from 350-420 W/m2.
