Rocket Stove
 Good choice, I have been making the portable models of these for camping and fishing trips, they are great and don't use much wood at all.

Looks real slick, be sure to document the construction and let us know how it comes out.

It's right at 100% efficient. Even burns the smoke. 
I don't know what they'd complain about.
I've already burned 18 rick this year, and I've got 5+ in a pile outside...

It would be very nice if you could imbed copper lines in the concrete and feed some of the heat to your water heater. OR feed an in floor glycerin heating system.

Our Quadra-Fire free standing stove does, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqx4Nwc8udA In fact, it seems to use a similar, but more complicated, system to the rocket stove.
It takes a while to learn to control it, though. The first few fires each year I manage to set off the smoke alarms. 
It's a pretty show when the tertiary burn is the only burning visible. It's like a colorful plasma looking fire.

Sounds better than her saying you have "inefficient wood."
The EPA has decided that most woodstoves are not good for you, so they are making most of the old designs illegal.
Knowing the EPA, the new ones won't pollute as much, nor will they work very well.

Rocket Stove
Dusty: I build mine out of #10 cans and soup cans I have them in both my truck and Jeep, they are cheap and easy to make. If you go to You Tube and type in Rocket Stove you will get a wealth of information.
On You Tube some of the better units are built by ppoty1,KSPrepper1,tryin2ihard.
I hope this helps, for some reason the site won't let me post attachments.

I know. Had the same problem while trying to post a pic of one of my legendary whitetail trophies.
I haven't been able to play youtube vids for a while; my ISP is "putting in new fibers", but soon I'll check 'em out.
A general picture is beginning to emerge of a "high speed, low drag hobo stove"...

I wonder what materials a person would have to use in constructing the heater to make sure it would be approved by a homeowners insurance company?
