I live in MN I know about heat!!
The wood stove in my shop is some fancy thing with oil start. The stove is inside a chamber or something and has a furnace fan and thermostat on the ductwork. right now it just suck air in and blows it out the top. I don't have a closer photo of the stove, in the photo you should be able to see the ductwork sticking out the top. It has the proper venting going outside and as is it'll get the shop hot in about a half hour.
My old orange Majestic fireplace is a canary killer for sure.
