How can you make a hot water heater for a hunting camp using a 55 gallon barrel?

I heard that you can use copper tubing coiled in a 55 gallon drum, but how? I understand that I will have to place hot coals in the barrel for the heat source, but I don't understand how to construct the barrel where it will work. I need the barrel to fill up with water from a systern and the barrel will be gravity fed. Any help will be greatley appreciated.How can you make a hot water heater for a hunting camp using a 55 gallon barrel?

Get yourself a copy of the Australian Boy Scout Handbook. it diagrams how to make a coil of copper, connected to barrell boy hose - one low and one high. The coil goes over a bed of coals. Hot water rises,creating hot water FAST! You can do a similair thing with copper on your truck manifold.
