Anybody tried a Hilkoil wood stove water heating loop?

[Patrick62]

I can describe my system fairly well. Doesn't generate a enormous amount of water, but in the winter I don't have to fire the water heater.
I took two 12 inch long by 1 inch galvanized nipples and with a pair of T's created a heat coil of sorts. I didn't want to mess with a union, so I cut one of the nipples, screwed it together, and then welded it back together. So far, so good. it holds pressure, 3/4 pipe sticks out of the flue pipe, and it is a thermosiphon to the water heater. Fire the stove all day, and there will be some really hot water... well over 120

The gentleman seems to be selling (or sold) the business. He posts on his website that no more products are available. Any idea where to find a similar product? Thank you for any help at all. Dan

Still available on Ebay.
