You're quite right,,, thats a standard item in wood-heat country....   
its usually made of cast iron to withstand the heat, but as far as "hot 
water for tea" , the water actually gets a little murky after a few 
refills and some of the iron oxide mixes in.....sometimes I will pour 
in the last of the coffee,,, just to get the coffee smell in the 
kitchen.....  all in all you can't beat wood heat, if you're cold move 
your chair closer to the stove,,, when warm enough move farther 
away...... simple plan...
now back to epson dampers---- hope they arrive soon.....
take care
