No, these things are amazingly effective at heating a decent size dwelling. Depending on how you damp it, just a couple of pieces of firewood thrown in when you go to bed would last until morning. Ours was the only means of heating for the entirety of my childhood, and we always stayed warm - even during the blizzard of ‘93 when we had no electricity for over a week straight!
Plus, I have fond memories of helping my dad with the firewood and all that. Good memories.

Sorry bud, but I grew up with (nearly) the exact same wood stove sitting ontop of a giant metal street sign on the carpeted floor of my parent’s living room.
It’s basically a metal shell around what you’re more familiar with.

I remember being really intimidated by the giant wood splitting maul my dad used for the initial splitting of logs. I think it was a 15lb head, like a giant metal slice of cheese lol
Felt like a damn superhero tho, splitting a 40” slice of an oak tree lol
