Water Heater Suggestions Please

It was suggested that I should have some well insulated hot water storage capability. I want to take that advice and do this.
I currently have a one pipe steam system, and get the hot water directly from the boiler. The boiler is a 6 year old Burnham V8 with a Beckett oil burner.
Do you suggest an in-direct or something else?
There is no available gas in the house.
Thank you for any suggestions.

If you have a ....
tankless coil on your boiler you can pipe in a storage tank w/ a bronze 005 and use that as a storage device and the coil as the Heat exchanger....

or you can be creative and use an electric water heater as the tank. kpc

Yes, there are things you may be able to do. I recommend only a professional do the job. An indirect wtr htr can be a hot wtr zone, but sizing should be checked. (just like mentioned in the link below)
Here's a start:

Oh yes, only a professional will do this job. I stop if something is more than screw-out, screw-in type of thing.
