Water Jacket Around Stove Pipe?
So things are going well with my new to me Harman Mark 1. What I wish I had was the water line that ran through it so I could preheat the water before it went into my water heater. The next best thing I can think of is getting some kind of stove pipe that is equipped with a water jacket. Anyone hear of such a thing?

A water jacket around the smoke pipe would be too likely to kill the draft. Much better on the stove body itself. I would favor a copper tank.

Agree the stove pipe is not the place for it. Tubes inside up top, or as Franco said, on the body would give you transfer.franco b wrote:A water jacket around the smoke pipe would be too likely to kill the draft. Much better on the stove body itself. I would favor a copper tank.
