water jacket

[sandancer]

i have made a fire for the workshop out of a large gas bottle, i am looking to add a water jacket to it so i can add rads, do i use the same thickness metal as the gas bottle or would it be better in thin plate as i am only using a wolf 140 welder
cheers

thin plate will do .it will need to be an open vented system though

There is this chap who posted a few videos on youtube showing a heat exchanger he had made.

There is definitely a thread on here somewhere.....I've seen where someone has put a smaller gas bottle in a larger one feeding some rads iirc but I can't find it for looking!
