Learn to build your own low-cost, highly efficient masonry fireplace (also known as a masonry stove or Russian fireplace), plus masonry bread ovens and earth ovens.

This basic design is used through-out europe, usually there is a cast iron door and a glazed tile front. Coal is usually burnt. They work better than a fire place and you can touch the exterior with-out getting branded. The thermal mass holds the heat but It is difficult to regulate the burn rate and it is hard to clean the air chambers. Dispite all that it is easier and cheaper to build than a metal stove.
The road to serfdom is paved with free electric golf carts.
ABSOLUTELY - I heard a lot a great things about those Russian fireplaces.
I have also seen similar with heated water pipe coiling in the direction of the heat in your picture. Since your water heater is always heating, it circulates that hot water through the wall heating and 'recycling' it back to the water tank. So you are getting double use of the heat from your hot water tank.
My son just got back from Finland and they use what looks like a giant rocket stove. It looks like a 3 ft diameter pipe that goes from floor to ceiling in a corner of the room, uses very little wood. I saw pictures of them but for the life of me I can't see a vent pipe.
