That design is really smart. I've never used pellets, but I'm assuming they don't "clump".

Another option might be a small coal stove. I have one (a tiny antique cylinder stove) in my cabin. You can burn wood in it for quick heat, then start adding coal. When full of coal it burns slow all night, then you can add more wood for extra heat in the morning.
I actually have two stoves. The coal stove keeps the bedroom warm, with an inefficient old wood stove that only burns a few hours in the 18x18 living room. I get up in the morning, relight the wood stove in the living room, and have breakfast in the BR while the LR warms up again.

The last 2 nights I've spent in a very exposed, small 16x20 cabin with very little insulation in the ceiling. My front room is 12x16. The night before Thanksgiving went down to 15F and 9F on Thanksgiving itself. I ran the little Century you see listed below. It kept the place warm, but didn't give me a long burn time. The 1st night I loaded at 9, then again at 1 and then at 6 or so when I got up. The 2nd night, the cold one I loaded at 9,1 (smaller load because I stuck too large of a split in there), 4:30 and then probably around 6:30 again when I woke up. The front room stayed warm, the back room was cooler. I wish I had a longer burn time, but I think my next course of action will be to work on insulating and sealing up the cabin.

I was going to say englander stove. And there not air tight but you still will get 8 he burns out of It easy!! Modern EPA stoves all have holes to allow air flow when shut it down so they can't smolders bad. All you can do is control is primary air the secondary air is just. A set hole in the stove air intake to allow air in.
