I am unable to find an American company that sells wood-fired water heaters. I may be forced to build one. I am thinking that the first experiment will be to suspend a small, old-but-sound water tank-- should be easy to find one that was discarded when the controls froze-- high inside a barrel stove. Will add another pressure-relief valve to supplement the one on the propane water heater that will be plumbed to follow the wood-fired unit. This will allow preheating water with wood before propane is used. Our present propane heater is in the basement and I used to have a barrel stove down there, so the double flu is at the ready. Any excess heat will warm the basement, which is under the kitchen.

Comments, please.
