I believe Dickinson makes several nice units. Look HERE.

I have a "Cole" brand stove on my boat.

Stove or heater/furnace?

You can find solid burning fuel heaters like the Dickinson posted above.

I'm not sure I would want to hassel with the mess of getting the fuel on board, storing it, and than cleaning the ash left behind.

It sounds attactive at first, but not for me.

We have a Dickinson propane heater. (Not that haveing a propane heater on board doesn't open up a whole nother debate)

Here's what you're looking for I think!

Regarding the solid fuel Dickinson mentioned above, I would echo sailortjk's comment about practicality for heating. In fact, when we were considering various heaters for our boat last winter, I spoke with Dickinson and they essentially said that the solid fuel stove was more of an "ambiance" stove than an effective heater.

We ended up installing a Dickinson Newport propane heater.

We're considering one of the Navigator stoves (see link above) for a nook in our kitchen. I think Alex of Giulietta mentioned he plans to hard mount their Halibut stove in his cockpit, so they can toast marshmallows (an ancient Portuguese tradition) while underway.

30 years ago I had a Tiny Tot stove - the usual forward bulkhead mounting - in a 35' sloop. It burned wood, coal or charcoal. It was very efficient, used very little fuel and was clean when operating and dried out the interior quite well - including wet, cold New England winter sailing gear. Started the burning with newspaper just like a regular fireplace. Only during lighting and in stiff wind would burned paper be drawn up the and out the Charley Noble onto the trunk cabin. We had to be careful when emptying the ashes not to spill (fairly normal concern with anything on a boat, I think) but we were quite happy with the heating. Further, given its small capacity, we didn't need much fuel to heat the boat and storage of the fuel supply wasn't a problem. Hope this helps, Roho.

do a search on "little cod", have some really nice stoves, and lot's of installed pic's. Look at some of the other modles as well, for they may work as well. Wish I could remember the name of the company, but think the search will get you there.
