i want to put a pot of water on top of a wood stove. i will use the water for tea, and as a humidifier.

i want to leave it unattended for 16 hours.

it may run out of water.

i need a pot that can handle the heat.

i realize cast iron can handle the heat, but it will rust.

i realize enameled cast iron wont rust, but can it handle the heat?

if not, any suggestions of what i could use?

wood stove

We live in a trailer, and there was a wood stove here years ago, so there is a place for it to go.

jmddab asked:


Would it be benefitial to run a loop of pipe through my wood stove to heat the water the boiler would normally do? My wood stove is burning 16-18 hours a day anyways. Would this work on gravity (since the wood stove is directly above the gas boiler) or would I need to put a pump in?

This stove is a partial oxidation gas generator stove.

It produces Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane and other cracked organic compounds. The same principle is in our books on gasification of wood for engines and cars.

Yes, you CAN run a car off this type of system and over 1 million vehicles did this during WWII… it can still work today

I have a farm house just given to me that is about 1000 SQ. Ft. and need to buy a wood stove.

They are cheaper at the hardware stove but not sure if it is worth the savings.
