nice. Is this going to be a diy outdoor wood burner? I like the re-use of the tank.

made a shed/housing around  it  with some metal studs and steel siding  12 inches of r 19 insulation   and 6 inch foam roofing   insulation in the walls and roof  works awesome  got  it all going yesterday  putting whole unsplit pieces of wood in  and  got about 11 hours of burn time   the best part is  I haven't heard the gas water heater turn on

     its basically a water heater  firebox is surrounded  by water that is pumped into the house threw a heat exchanger that is plumbed into the house water heater then the heated liquid is circulated through 1/2 inch pex tubing in my floor  I gotta change something tho its 89 degrees in the house
