Have anyone ever used these? They have a small fireplace at the bottom and the smokestack goes through the water container part, heating it up all the way. These are sold by Lehmans, which specialize in old timey stuff, but are super expensive about $100.
I'm thinking about making something like this, but modifying it to be able to cook as well as boil water, since it seems super handy to have something that can use wood to cook stuff in an indoorish place.
