No forced exhaust. Nothing electric at all.

A servo or solonoid system would be nice. A string with a few pulleys might do the job too. Do you have a hardware suggestion? I just need to "kick it on" a bit before I use the hot water.

I've ended up on the "vacation" setting as my permanent setting! But timing affects the quality of a hot shower here. There must be a sizeable spread between the lo and hi limits on my water heater's control. If I happen to want the hot water right after it's been through a heating cycle bam! it's more than hot enough. But if I want that hot water at the tail end of the water heater's "resting cycle" it's marginal.
