i was interested in your idea ,so i surfed the internet and found some answer to your request,maybe it helps
"I simply bought some thin walled oval top loading wood stoves, took some 1/4" copper tubing and
tightly wrapped the entire stove with the tubing. As the water in the coils heats it rises, pulling
in more cold water from the tub, creating a natural thermal syphon. I dont know what your application
is, but that general design worked very well for heating my mobile hot tubs.
I also incorperated a 12V pump, batteries and solar panels. Point of use propane water heater, a
secondary boiler pulling heat from the cast iron woodstove inside the built in sauna. and of course
the traditional 110/220V hot tub equipment. any or all of the systems could work independantly or
together." this is the exact quote i found
