Outdoor wood furnace with hot water curculation you mean???

They are not the most efficent things, and they tend to be built kinda t smoke a lot at times, but if you get a better one & install it right they can burn a lot of bigger wood with all the ash, dirt, and fire liability outside instead of in your home, and the nice part is being able to heat 2 or 3 buildings if that is what you need.

You run an insulated pipe between the furnace & building(s) and a heat exchanger or pipe in the concrete floor.

Works good, tho uses a lot of wood.

You talking about geothermal instead, since you mention water table???

Mike, your need for an English teacher far exceeds your need for heater information.
