Certainly. I know many homes that are using a water-jacketed wood stove as
their primary heat & domestic hot-water system.

It's a fair amount of work to tend the fire, but about the only practical
option for my off grid home, except for perhaps propane which would
be very expensive to operate. All my wood for the hot tub is free.
Then there is something like this

for domestic water heating inside using a woodstove.

I got one that was sold by Sears in the early 1900's. They were made
and sold by many different companies. You can find them at farm
auctions now and then.

If my recollection serves me correctly, my own Government recently
(withing the last 5 or 6 years) made these illegal, because some clown
fired one up with the isolating valves all closed, and blew the jacket,
the slow combustion stove, the chimney, and about half the house, into
the middle of next week.
Almost enough for a honourable mention in the Darwin's
