SB: Wood-fired heater

[Jorge Moreno <sfissore@pgtv.net>]

Comverting a Gas water heater is a quick and easy solution, I did dissambly
the burner, cut the metal sheet around up to the level bottom of the tank.

Make a fire chamber with concrete block(2-1/2 blocks long, 2 wide, 2 high,
outside dimensions, refilled with soil) or refractary blocks, but extend it
to the front, if not flames will come to the front, covert with a piece of
metal sheet of 1/4, you can use it to cook or just cover with soil as
insulation.

Its require maintenance claning periodicaly the exaust pipe, because the soot
build-up.
