I'm used to heating with wood anyways, so a wood gasifier is the first
thing that comes to mind. An old car engine with nothing to lose and
the capacity to have it's output at peak torque (peak efficiency)

This is known as Cogeneration, and in the energy consulting world is considered pretty hot. Usually it's trying to recuperate heat from small turbines, fuel cells, or even large turbines, but it generally pays back pretty well (because usually the other option is just throwing away all that heat,
