If you can fix the leak in the old gas water heater you can strip out the burner an use the flue as a heat exchanger

This is what I have been using with my Out door wood stove to heat my hot water

Here is a link to my wood stove saga

An look in to using PEX tubing for the long runs a lot cheaper than copper

That is a good idea! I like your stove. Have you ever stripped one of those tanks with the hot wire?

I forgot about there being a center in that tank, that changes things!
thanks for the link.
