And do people actually use them?
It occurs to me that during winter we mostly heat our house with a wood stove,
but the hot water heater is still 100% electric. I suspect a significant load
could be shed by letting the wood stove heat up the water as well...
Thanks,

A wetback is a wetbackm, everyone uses wetbacks here, they stay, have
kids, become US citizens and send their money to Mexico for more
wetbacks.

A friend has a woodstove with a water heating attachment he didn't
use. It burned out in a few years.

It would burn out if there was no cooling water.
Wet back stoves are very common in the UK.
You can also buy a stove the heats water, the house, has an oven and
has hotplates on top for cooking. Had one myself for years.

I'm amazed you don't have them in America.
