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...

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.

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.

My wife says I have efficient wood but I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not
