New usage for old radiator's ???

[Mainely Saws]

I ve got a number of old hot water radiator’s of various sizes & was looking for a way to put them to good use . I heat with wood & gas forced hot air but I was wondering if they might be used in a batch solar water heater . They are heavy so that’s kind of a drawback , any ideas ?????

You could place one behind the wood stove or near a hot air register and use it to temper cold water on its way to the cold side of your hot water heater.

Nice idea and concept but I think that your water probably would get rusty .
