I was browsing the inter web and found on a US site a stove pipe with a water jacket that had an inlet and outlet. It fits on a 6" log burner stove pipe and the hot smoke heats the water.
The closest thing I've found over here is the water jacket for the Frontier stove but that's 2".
Does anyone know where I can source a 6" one?
The alternative is a back boiler heat exchanger but I fancy the stove pipe version more.

Is that not dangerous? I didn't think you could cool the smoke in the pipe from a wood burner because it was dangerous to do so

No, not dangerous it just needs a spirit of adventure!Holomon wrote:Is that not dangerous? I didn't think you could cool the smoke in the pipe from a wood burner because it was dangerous to do so
My other plan is to wind flexible copper pipe around the stove pipe and use that as a heat exchanger to warm a water tank.

lol ok, I was sure I remember something about cooling a stove pipe causing issues with creosote build up and an eventual fireball
