I love wood heat and warm feet. Is there any way to rig a Wood Stove so that it can radiantly heat floors in the winter, safely?
Check out freeheatmachine.com or central boiler. These are perfect for radiant heat.

I had radiant heat for many years. All it is, is tubes running through your concrete with cycol or hot water running through them. I had an 80 gallon hot water heater doing the work, but I can’t see any reason why wood cannot heat the water. You should contact a few contractors to see if they can do it for you. Below are a couple of articles I found that you might find interesting, good luck!
