I don't have a wood stove. I chose to put the RMH in close proximity to the chimney. I basically wanted to heat my house with wood in the cheapest, easiest, most efficient way possible. So I built the RMH core next to chimney and made a tall stack bench/mass at counter height vs a sitting bench. This saved floor space in the room. Basically taller skinnier mass vs short and wide. This way it all fit nicely in the room and I didn't have to do anything complicated. I could just use the chimney I already had from the existing fireplace.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, instead of the core of the RMH replace with solar powed Asics, instead of venting outside vent to a location where you need heat the most and let the mass release some heat at night when the asics aren't running. For it to be effective, you would need to generate more heat than you needed during the day and figure out how to charge the mass with it.
