Maggie MacD. lamented:
<<< AH HA. remember that wish I made for a reasonable water heating  
system to
use for cleanup at events?  And how Baron David in Calafia had a system
using charcoal chimneys and copper tubing? >>>

Well... You could do something like this, which can be found in the  
decadence-msg file in the Florilegium. :-)

About 10 years ago or so I remember a household from the Barony of
Allyshia, (Humboldt Cty., CA) that showed up at an Egil's Tourney in An
Tir, and at a Purgatorio in the West with an early-60s Lincoln, (or some
other piece of big Detroit Iron), towing a trailer that had a large  
wooden
hot tub on it.  They would dismount the tub, fill it with water, and  
then
disconnect the radiator on the Lincoln and run a pair of hoses from the
engine and water pump to the hot tub.  It would take about 3-4 hours of
the engine at idle to bring the tub up to temperature.  (The tub held
about 16)  I hope they were not using anti-freeze.  For myself, I'll  
stick
to the wood-fired baths at Clinton War.
