utilizing an Outdoor Wood Furnace, water temperature approximately
170 degrees F at 11 gallons per minute?? Any information or help
would be much appreciated, Thank you,

The output energy level of the hot water output would not be sufficent to run a Stirling engine to generate any significant electrical power output.
Such a Stirling engine would have to be designed for the energy supply conditions and again the small electrical output would not justify the expense.

Response to Generate power from Outdoor Wood Furnace
You only listed the temperature of the water, the intended product of the outdoor furnace.
Can you measure the temperatur of the firebox and ask again?
