| Hi All, Was discussing this in another thread, Had I the forethought, I would have put my WFO in the house, or connected, Maybe ? Question Now is, Has anyone come up with a way to alter a WFO to possibly pump heat into the house over the winter, My first thought would be a copper pipe system, Insulated of course, to a radiator ? I know there has to be some kind of pressure relief ? My Thoughts are to put a cast iron radiator/kettle ? in the oven and pipe hot water to the house to another radiator ? I would keep a live fire in the oven I would open the pipes and let the water circulate after the cooking so as to not draw off too much heat from the cooking time... Maybe just a pipe dream ? But would love to hear some thoughts as I can get wood way cheaper than natural gas..... Thanks for endulging me. Mark

| I heard a rumor at work here that there is a restaurant in Carmel (CA) that had pipes run from their WFO to heat the outside patio. Unfortunately, I did not get the name of the restaurant or contractor who did it. But it sounds doable. Ed |

| 1) Use a heat exchange (which is pretty much what you're describing). 2) Build one of these: The Masonry Heater Association Home Page - Information on masonry heaters, manufacturers, and masonry heater builders (Better yet, get one built. They are tricky)

| The English, who often used their Aga and Rayburn cookers as house heaters, had quite a complicated loop system, with an expansion tank, between the in-cooker coil and the room radiator. I think you need to keep the water circulating even when you're not calling for heat. These cookers were kept burning all day and all night: Do you use your oven enough to justify this complicated plumbing system? Also, don't forget the redneck pool heater: ![]() Anything is possible...

| David, First off is the redneck pool heater for real,,, Do I use the oven enough to heat the house ?, No,,, But I think I heat the house enough to use the oven for cooking..Im not trying to be a smart a**.... Just trying to get some more bang for my buck... I have a large amount of free wood available yearly, and my thoughts are if I can heat the house without hurting the oven or maybe build an outdoor fire box/heater it might be worth my while.... Mark

| Why not just put in a wood burning stove? Mine works great. It would be easier and a hell of a lot less $$. Les...
