    I'm not a plumber, actually I hate plumbing, so I haven't done it yet. But I am going to set it up, planning on 2010, or if I can trade some of my wood to a plumber friend for him doing it, then I will in 2009.

    The Hot Rods are a pre heater.They have the capacity to make 18 gallons per hour at an 80 degree rise.
    They can be plumbed in a few different ways.Like Craig mentioned in his post there is a link to go look at them.
    They sell for $208.
