A hot water heating system is provided for heating water that is utilized to heat a structure such as a tobacco barn. The hot water heating system includes a base and a vessel, movably mounted on the base, for holding water supported on the base. The vessel is movable back and forth on the base between a heating position and a loading position. In the heating position, the vessel overlies a fire chamber. When the vessel moves to the loading position, the fire chamber is open at the top so as to permit solid fuel, such as wood, to be loaded through the open top of the fire chamber.

A support for a gas prop (hydraulic strut) for a vehicle access door includes an elongate sleeve that is positionable around the cylinder and rod of the gas prop. The support secures a weak or otherwise defective gas prop in its position in which the vehicle access door is held open. The elongate sleeve includes a first and second end. The first end of the elongate sleeve is adapted to be selectively positioned between: (1) abutting the distal end of the cylinder, and (2) coaxially receiving at least a portion of the length of the cylinder. One or more slots are defined at the second end of the elongate sleeve. Each of the slots is selectively engageable with the shaft or post of an attachment bracket for coupling the rod end to the vehicle. Additionally, each one of the slots is a different length, thereby accommodating various lengths of gas props.

A portable unit for transmitting food orders to a central station includes a processor and a storage device coupled to the processor. The storage device contains product information identifying a list of food items. Input keys are coupled to the processor and operate to transmit selector signals to the processor identifying user determined ones of the food items on the list. A facsimile input screen coupled to the processor operates to transmit handwritten modifier information associated with selected ones of the selector signals to the processor. A display controlled by the processor displays product information from the list associated with the respective selector signals and the handwritten modifier information. A wireless communication system is coupled to the processor and transmits a composite food order including a first portion indicative of the selector signals and a second portion indicative of the associated hand-written modifier information to another location.

This invention is a non-fossil fuel fired hot water system which allows a large amount of water or other liquid to be raised to a relatively high temperature, but below the boiling point, in a relatively short period of time. Due to a unique air circulation system, extremely high temperatures of the combustible material can be obtained with secondary burning eliminating all visible particulate material from the exhaust stack of the system. The unique firebox itself is disposed such that it is surrounded by water on all sides including the access closures for said firebox.
