Two words: HEAT PUMP.
I cut wood for a 24" Franklin with my dad starting about age 5 until I left for college. Helped him install a propane burner in the shell of that stove about a decade ago and for 200 gallons a year he has all the heat he can use. We had a parlor stove for about a decade here and supplemented with electric heat in the peripheral rooms but when babies came we had a mini-split system installed, backed up by a 10 KW diesel generator.
