I'm wondering if there are wood stoves out there that can either be an old fashion wood stove space heating, with a boiler option, or a space heating wood stove that also has a ducting option for central heating?

We have a log home that needs a  lot of heat, however, just pushing the heat in the central ducting system is not enough because the downstairs would still freeze.  So a space heating, lke we have now, but with an option for above box that fits into ducting would go well for us.  I once saw something from TOR, but I can no longer find anything like it.

any ideas or suggestions would be welcome

Thanks

Are you looking for a wood-fire furnace, like in this article from Mother Earth News?

For the price, have you considered an RMH?

Here are some threads that might be interesting regarding the furnace:
