Hey All,

To go along with the wood tower you see posted occassionally, here's my wood heater...actually it gets it's heat from the engine's hot water, just like the HeaterCraft does...

The total cost is about $140 - $36 for the blower, $25 for the heater core and the remainder is hose, fittings, wiring.

I had the plywood and epoxy supplies from projects past.


Wes

wesgardner, nice work! That's pretty innovative! How well does it work? Looks like it probably works as well as a heatercraft.

Curious why that second hole doesnt have a duct running from it?

Nice work, thanks for the post.
