    Default Wood burning heated pool idea

    Anyone sell a product or have any ideas on how to do this?

    Are they not done in rural areas as often because its not worth the effort?

    I thought it might work well for getting a few degrees higher for weekends.

    Any thoughts on this?

    They have been done. Dangerously! There are YouTubes.

    But all that I have seen are terrible kludges. There's more to making a safe water heater or boiler than lay people realize. (I'm speaking as a licensed master plumber, and as an engineering degree holder.)

    Here are some Youtube's that I like:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bU-I2ZiML0 (Mythbuster's water heater)

    People have tried to discuss them there, and always ended up proposing unsafe things. So . . . I'm not allowing those discussions.

    Sorry, but thread closed!
