For us it's heating only, hot water is an immersion tank. I was over at my neighbours talking about wood and getting some quince jelly and he was showing me his setup. He has a bigger boiler and a huge water tank, must be a few hundred litres as it was 1.5m diameter by 1.5m high with insulation. He said he can heat water and it'll be warm for 5 days, and having felt it out the tap I can attest. Quite cool. He has a bunch of land for timber, he's mid 70s now and struggling so I think in return for my labour he'll go halves on what we cut which will help me.
This is our kitchen oven, you can cook in upper and lower, I do pizzas in upper and you could BBQ in lower. Need to find a shelf and to do pizzas in lower.
Anyway, not to hijack, just thought you'd be interested.

There’s a shelf and apparently you can grill or barbecue in the glass fronted bit too! Reckon that’ll be murder to clean though so doubt we’ll be doing it much.
Wow, is that just for heating or does it do your hot water too? Lived in Minnesota when I was younger and stayed with a family on a bit of land who had a similar setup and a forest around them. The grandpa spent his summer chopping trees on the land stocking up the wood pile for rotation for the next winter.
Hmm, wonder how you would? Was talking to the guy fitting the stove about airflow today and he was saying a local restaurant was having a real problem with their stove billowing smoke back into the restaurant and he was doing a bunch of troubleshooting to figure out what was going on and it turned out to be the big industrial kitchen extractor pulling it back down the flue!
