This was how my parent heated their house for years. Coal-fired heating coils in the burner heated water which naturally circulated through radiators in each room of the house, with the cool water coming back down into the heater to be warmed again…no circulating pump. They also had a second tank which was the hot domestic water supply and that ran off the city water pressure. They didn’t use any outside energy to heat until they switched from coal to oil heat and then installed a circulating pump to move the heated water to the radiators. It heated the house faster, but if power went off they didn’t have heat, unlike the old system which worked fine as long as you kept a fire burning in the firebox.

FFS guys at least put some effort into your headlines.
“Guy uses his stove to heat water “ would be a slightly more honest title.
