TDD

I heard of a couple country boys, living off grid.
Finally figured out hot water. Cut the bottom off
a gas WH, and set it up on blocks outside. Kindle
a fire under it, to heat the water. Pipes and hoses
to bring the hot water indoors. Showers on, now!

I don't know. There's all that insulation to heat the water through.

Seems to me it's better to take the cooling water from the still,
after it's been warmed by the hot alcohol vapor, and use that to wash
with, if you actually have to wash.
