Building a 'Cabin'?
In-floor hydronic heat?
My suggestion is wait until natural gas is available, it is only two years, rt? Are you on the Kenai or Big Lake? Surely not Fairbanks.
In the interim, heat with one or two cheap electric water heater tank(s)
A masonry stove? Would need to know more infor about it, but if this is a weekend place it may take too long to heat to warm up those with cold toes.
I like a Blaze King 'King'. If you put up wood this spring, you might be able to burn it the next heating season.
WillowBilly has a nice Toyo hydronic unit that required two side-in-drect tanks to work in his system.
I had (still have in the shed) a nice 80k Quietside that heated domestic and in-floor without in-direct tanks. I only took it out when oil hit $4.50/gallon and in hind sight, I would have been better off leaving it in. But I learned a bit about geo and refrigeration in the meantime.
Buying an oil burner will incur significant up-front costs. And a geo system will have Major up-front costs that will not be re-couped if you will have gas.
The low-hanging fruit around these parts in the Spring and Fall is Solar Hot Air. In other words, build a trombe wall into your design. Perhaps use an air to water heat pump.
Have Fun!!
