 MR> So why can't heat convection be used to move the whole water mass?  
 I had just such a system in a house that burned down... grassfire 
unrelated to the heating system.  which was a woodstove with a 
coil of 7/16 copper tubing around the tin stovepipe, which fed 
into the water tank of a defunct gas water heater that was placed 
upstairs, directly above the stove. worked well. 
 
One of the outlets on the top of the tank was actually the top 
end of a plastic pipe that went to the bottom of the tank, so a 
thermosiphon will not work on that one, but the other did fine. 
The cold feed was by replacing the drain cock on the lower end.
