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.

Yeah, it might be better to have it be a boiler system instead, with water piped around the house. Or since the house will have the heating in mind during construction, then make the heat source centralized with proper insulating house walls.
