Wood Stove Water Heater | New Test, New Winner
I needed some hot water for another project I'm working on, so I took the opportunity to run another hot water test. These are both things you've seen before, but I've never used them together in this combination:
the copper coil inside the flue, plus the insulated wood stove that's specifically designed to keep all the heat inside vs radiate out into the environment, which burns more efficiently, and then the heat can be utilized for specific purposes.
I loaded the wood stove with 19 lbs of wood, and it continued to burn for about 45 minutes, long after the barrel had come up to temp.
