Once I'm closed in, I'm going to modify my current propane tank fireplace to be a snorkel heater like in the photo below. It already looks quite similar, I have the same kind of pipe on it and everything, just need to modify my current door to be a top feeding door. Also, I have a damaged water storage cube and I'm going to cut the top off so I can suspend the stove inside of it. If I can, I'll make the fireplace removable so that it has the option of being used as a makeshift hot tub 
Only difference is that I'll give my snorkel stove a good paint job with some stove pipe spray paint or maybe high heat engine/caliper enamel. Otherwise I assume the heat, steel and water are a recipe for rusty orange colored soup.
I may add some bromine or something just to keep it from being a source of any bacterial growth that could affect my air quality... or make it less appealing as a potential hot tub. Salt water would make it less dense and hold less heat in my opinion. That and everyone and their uncle has some left over pool chemicals laying around in their shed.
