You go, girl. Let us know results.

Btw, Karen e-mailed me personally with a couple possibilities for wood- fired water heaters. She said, well, here is what she said:

My mail to the Homestead list is not making it through. Here's some links I found on wood-fueled boilers.

Cheers,

Take a look at http://www.tradad.com/venkov/heater.htm for something like what you describe.

Lehman's also has an add-on heater unit here: http://www.lehmans.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=1775 .

Hope this is of some help.
