Is your bedroom beside the new living area or above? Not that it probably matters, but I'm trying to get a picture in my head of what you're arrangement might be.

The bedroom is beside and will share a wall with the living room. If this setup seems feasible it would just be a hole knocked through for the flue but I was also thinking I could make the dividing wall a heat exchanger chimney so at least some of that heat will radiate into the bedroom. Something like this (not sure what it's called, all the images I can find for this kind of setup seem to be in Russian or Polish)

We are about to start an extension in wattle and daub which will be our main living area. Currently we heat our very small home with a stove (model pictured) that definitely loses a lot of heat up the chimney. I was wondering if I could use this stove with some kind of heat exchanger like in this video    to pump the extra heat into the bedroom?

Or is it better to build from scratch?
