When first married, we lived in a caravan fitted with a small solid fuel
stove.

The flue passed through a tall galvanized water tank. I can't report on
the performance as we used the farmhouse facilities and didn't need hot
water.

Our little (10') caravan in Wales has a gas fire and we often sit the kettle
on it to heat water.

Waste not ...
