    Here's information from a UK firm: http://www.ceramicstove.com/wp/?page_id=136

    For a DIY approach, search for info about rocket mass heaters, but be aware of the insurance implications.

    My Polish pen-friend has several tile stoves in his home; one is in the wall between two rooms, so it heats both, while keeping the refuelling and dust confined to one.

    Another option would be to use a conventional stove to supply a heat store/accumulator which then supplies radiators and hot water. The tile stove option wouldn't need an electricity supply...
