I don't know if this belongs in this category if not someone move it.
Here's the deal, build a stove an imaginary stove with all the various info and types of stove we see and talk about some good (and bad) ideas may come out of this and...here is mine:

1) Glenwood 116 base burner
2) with a stoker grate
3) hot water coil
4) solar power with battery back up.

Can you tell I am laid off?
