My very fleeting search didn't show up much so here goes...
So guys..
Apart from my ambitious car resto project, I also have a grand plan to build an hot tub to have in the parents garden. In ways, it's more ambitious than the car.
Has anybody built a woodstove for something like this?
I have been looking at designs and I have settled on a general steel box/cylinder with chimney and then wrapping it in copper coil to heat the water. Probably need to pat a layer of vermiculate around the copper then, to retain heat and improve efficiency.
One of the easiest methods is to just dump a coil into the stove and heat it but that leads to creosote on the coil and degrades efficiency over time.
I'm so excited to use my welder on something later in summer and I feel like that is a nice project.
