Bingo. you win. I was just going to post a similar idea. If a person drills a second hole half way down adjoining the hole for fishing. Float the can in the secondary hole. It would still heat the water in the first hole.

We used to use a cast iron heater that went into our stock water trough. I'd stoke it up with coal and it would keep the water thawed for a few hours...even at very cold temps.
