Is your problem to heat the 2 rooms? I think that the door location is important.
You can think about the central europa system, very close to rocket stove:

They are called kachel stoves. You will see a plan on this link.
they were just huege and usually made at the same time of the house, as you could heat a wall between 2 rooms.
They can be 2 tons...
With so little insulation as with logs, I guess you have to put 2 stoves if they are not big, so that you can make warm beds in the 2 rooms...
Also, you can consider making a warm ground. As the heat goes up, and as the ground brings better insulation than log, you can have a warmer room.
You just make the ground as you would make a warm couch...
The only thing I hesitate, is to know wheter or not the smoke can go DOWN.
I mean: is it possible to have the stove at ground level, or do you have to dig it so that the pipes under the floor are at the same level as the stove?
