Insulation...a lot of insulation.

Heating a drafty home seems really wasteful...the equivalent of cooling your food with a doorless refrigerator. One of the first places I'd look is at the attic, door seals, and windows. Get creative.

With a masonry heater and insulation, you should only need a minute fraction of the energy the average person uses today.
