Hmmm, I can think of a few ways I might do this for myself. One would be to cover and insulate the barrel to allow close clearances, and build the whole thing as seating along one side of the room. Another would be to put the burn chamber in the space, then go through the wall with the works and have a reservoir outdoors, so an outdoor boiler of sorts, with the wood feed and maybe a window for ambiance inside. Just some thoughts, I wouldn't recommend trying to downsize the burn chamber below 6" as Oddmar says.
