  The Rescuers Down Under reference "I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing" is pure gold, especially from an Australian.

  42 years ago I wrapped as much 3/8" microbore copper pipe as possible tightly around the circular 6" steel chimney pipe coming out of the top of our home made woodburning stove/cooker. In all I covered the whole 30 inches of the chimney pipe before it turned and went through the wall. I plumbed the copper pipe into the indirect side of our copper hot water tank in the bathroom which was directly above the kitchen. After successful initial trials I then insulated the copper pipe, but had to remove it soon after because it was then producing too much hot water and it was venting into the expansion tank. It has since given us all the hot water we have ever needed, and for no extra cost.

  If I lived in Australia, I&apos;d love to buy a unit. Well built and a pleasure to watch. All the best from Indonesia.

  Thank you for starting the video with a steel saw at full volume. My headphone wearing ears really appreciate the wake up call.
