[QUOTE="secureland, post: 1016469, member: 24292"] That's a great idea. Remember that there are some serious safety issues that need to be addressed. A woodfire can make the water in the pipes go to steam in a HURRY. The safest way is an "open system" where no pressure can be built up. If you go with a closed system and it is not properly plumbed (temperature and pressure relief valves, etc) you can make a DEADLY bomb. Things can start blowing off and KILL people. I've seen video of a hot water tank with an intentially plugged T&P Valve and other orifices plugged go nearly 100' into the air! This is no joke. I still think it's a great idea, and am planning on heating my domestic hot water with wood this coming winter, but safety is the primary consideration, and expert design a requirement. Bill [/QUOTE]
