On the woodburner front. It is tempting to put a backboiler on your stove to generate hot water. But unless you have a switch valve as soon as the power goes off and the pump shuts down you have a shedload of boiling water with nowhere to go. We have 2 stoves and a rayburn. We do have backboilers but know how to pull them out if we have to so that we can still use the stoves even if we have no power for the pumps.
