By placing the fire and chimney on opposite sides of the house and constructing a tunnel between them, heat is pulled through the tunnel, heating the floors and helping distribute heat more evenly.

I figured there were some issues like that, I think I'm more into the general idea than this specific execution

Radiant heat using pumped hot fluid (I think usually a water antifreeze mix in a closed system) in tubes attached to the underside of the floor, seems like the closest, safer mix. Could be reasonably solarpunk if the source of heat is good
