Default You fixed what with a what?

Knew some country folks who heated the house with a woodstove in the
shed. Ran a water line under the ground, and used a radiator and fan
in the kitchen. I can't remember what they used for a circulator, but
he said he had a loop of copper in the firebox of the woodstove. Musta
worked.

I guess out in the shed he could burn crankcase oil and she didn't
mind as much.

My favorite is the automotive radiator for radiant heat.


That one is actually not that bad an idea. I know a guy who did this
with an array of solar collectors in his garage. If you put a garden
variety $20 "box" fan behind this it will pump out plenty of BTUs. It
kept us warm working on cars or harleys if it was a sunny day, even in
winter.
