I'm sure everyone is aware of recirculating pumps that keep hot water at the faucet hot immediately. I came across the idea of using thermosiphon and the light bulb went off.
Firstly this would only apply to winter time use. Basic example, install a small length of radiation at the furthest point the hot water goes. Everyone wants more heat in the bathroom right? Hot water supply to one end of the radiation, T on the supply to faucet and then return line to your heat source, in this case the coal stove.
Instant hot water at the faucets....
That said it's just an idea, no idea how practical it would be. Just throwing it out there because I don't believe I've seen it mentioned on here before.
