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.

Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than fire. Using a heat pump with a high r-value house will keep you toasty without the issues.

Piping it through the floor means you'd have the same radiant heat.
