If you don’t already have an indoor wood burning stove that heats your water, this is a great way to get unlimited ‘off the grid’ hot water.
This system is super efficient, heating the water with minimal fuel. It is also relatively straightforward to build. I also think that with some modifications you could also cook on this as well.
All in all this would make an excellent permanent addition to a homestead. It could also be built and used in an urban setting as well.
Hi,
I just watched the video of the rocket stove hot water heater and had a question. Is the barrel that the copper tubing is in filled with water? Or is it just empty (except the coiled tubing) and the air heats the water in the pipe?
Thanks for any help you can give to clarify this. Its a great idea and the video is very helpful! Thanks for sharing it!
Tanya
yes the barrel is filled with water
What is the white stuff around the outside? Plaster?
