This is an idea for a water heater. It is a work in progress. We are posting it as an instructable for a class project.  If this design becomes very functional when the kinks have been worked out, it may be used in a student’s home he is building. We are open to any additional instructions that may help get this water heater to a functional and realistic state.

You say you will burn pellets Why not design and make a cheap and affordable pellet mill.That would be a fantastic project. Best of luck with this one

Try looking up 'Rocket stove' for some ideas on getting the most out of a small fire.

I would use something like a radiator in between the holding tank and the stove. When the stove is fired it would heat the water within the radiator which would in turn be pushed into the the holding tank. Also I would add some sort of chute and metal catch bin to get rid of the waste from the pellet fuel.
