Another idea would be to pipe your wood stove's chimney straight out the wall, and right behind the house have the chimney go in a ring, and stack the wood around the ring. That way the wood is being dried by your chimney exhaust all winter. Of course if you're gonna do that you might instead wanna use the exhaust to heat the floorboards or something. In terms of a solar kiln type setup, I would make a "greenhouse" sans the green. Hard to get hotter than sunlight going straight through all the walls and then hot air that can't escape.
