Is there a way to have an outdoor wood heater that would heat your house without all the smoke, ashes in house

Question

I am wondering if it would be possible to mount an exterior heater that would use wood and would heat a home BUT by having it used outdoors you would elimate some of the ash and smoke that comes from using an indoor wood heater. I would not want to heat water ONLY the interior temp of the house.

Answer 2

the job of heating your home from the out side would loose a lot of heat to the cold and who will be outside tending the out door burner no easy task on a cold day put up with a little clean up after your heating does its job keep a metal bucket near the wood burner to empty your ashes also a vacuum cleaner to pick up cooled ashes more fun then running out side in the cold every so often PEACE!
