Zep another popular type of stove up north is a fully external one that sits outside the home in its own shed. Probably overkill for you though.

If I was a stay at home kind of guy (I'm not) that wanted to heat fully with wood, that is what I would have. Fire is stoked and clean out is outside the house so no mess. Usually large enouh fire box so only once or twice a day needs stoking. Some use circulated liquid through the fire box into the house, some just duct heated air directly.

But like I say, probably overkill for your location and situation.
