By placing the fire and chimney on opposite sides of the house and constructing a tunnel between them, heat is pulled through the tunnel, heating the floors and helping distribute heat more evenly.

    I figured there were some issues like that, I think I’m more into the general idea than this specific execution

      Radiant heat using pumped hot fluid (I think usually a water antifreeze mix in a closed system) in tubes attached to the underside of the floor, seems like the closest, safer mix. Could be reasonably solarpunk if the source of heat is good

          No, just recommending it since it sounds like what they’re looking for. Some of my relatives have a house with it

      Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than fire. Using a heat pump with a high r-value house will keep you toasty without the issues.

      Piping it through the floor means you’d have the same radiant heat.
