I, too, will one day perform engineering feats such as this.

I'm not ure how well that would work, the extreme heat from the fire would melt the solder and the whole thing would come apart.

Did you even bother reading it?


Make sure water is always flowing before you turn on the flames because
the sweat solder joints will melt if there is no water in the pipes.

that is actually a pretty good idea. i can see how it would work and since he has just about as many copper pipes as he can fit into the Q-er it probly wouldn't take too long

I was expecting some type of domestic V8 on a stand with the rad hoses stuck into the pool (instead of the radiator).

My uncle ran black hose on his roof, pumped the water out of the pool, through the hose on the roof and back to the pool. It was way more efficient that that clusterfuck

You have obvisouly never tried to solder or desolder pipes that have the slightest amount of water in them.

Any amount of water in the pipes creates steam, and unless you are breaking out the OXY tourch and melting the pipes you have a helluva time breaking the solder.

My wife uncle took and his old fuel tank from the farm (500gal or something like that) cut a door in it, ran about the same amount or more copper pipe in it.

All you do is a few big logs, and a small tree, 1/2 gallon of diesel and he got the same effect!

Nothing like taking the tractor back to the bush to chop down a tree to heat the pool!!! No Kidding!

That's more redneck!

oooo sounds like a good idea.
I`ve also read how ppl use the same tech. but work as a air condition unit. putting the hoses DEEP DEEP underneth the house, then run the water throught use a small considensor in the house and put a fan in front of it
