I'm happy to return the favor. <br /><br />Very interesting with your water heater. Our wood cookstove had an accompanying water jacket that can be purchased, though at this time we hadn't considered that. We're making good use of the stove's 5 gallon reservoir though for hot water. One of these summers we plan to make a solar water heater to connect to our water heater tank.
