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:

Dear Gene,

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

Cheers,
Karen

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.
