I agree with bruxiot.
I brought over from uk a £800 wood burner which I have in my living room. Last winter I didn't use it at all as it is very inefficient and using stacks of wood.
I have in my kitchen a size 2 pot belly type burner, which cost less than 120€ including flue, that uses a quarter of the wood and heats the living room as well if I leave the kitchen door open.
I originally installed a gas fired boiler and radiators which costs a fortune to run and after one year took it out (wanna buy some radiators?)
I have a gas heater in the bathroom, because I'm a wimp and hate the cold
I run a large chest freezer and a large fridge/freezer from my solar  and my water is heated by a gas water heater on demand, about three gas bottle a year.
Cooking is also on gas bottles about 4 bottles a year (I drink a lot of tea)
I find that to run generators is very expensive even with the large diesel genny that I have. Better to spend your money on a really decent solar installation.
Just my experience ;)
