What about the fumes from buring that in your closed up home??

I used kerosene heater, 35 yrs ago. I blocked rooms I didn't use, left the kitchen cabinets opened so those pipes didn't freeze up. Shut off the bathroom pipes. Toilet, I added anti freeze in toilet tank. Pipe never froze. I did ventilate, so the smoke didn't kill me.

I watched a video where the guy had the terra cotta one hanging in his boat and it almost started a fire. Big char mark on the wall. Plus the pot gets super hot. Be careful if you do that one.

forget the tea candle BS. you can just burn the candles. they only produce so much heat and it's not enough to heat a room unless you light a load of them. the alcohol works, but this way of heating is expensive like hell.

Heating Dez nuts lol 😂😂

Not very informative 😕

Get a camping wood stove cut a piece of wood to put the chimney out a window and you have a small room that heated and you can heat things up on it also to eat

Need ventilation if you’re gonna burn straight alcohol lol

Theory works.

How long will each last? How big of an area will each heat?

Most of the things u said is just common sense dude

Do you have a granny that sucks eggs.

My oil heater is leaking slightly. Is it safe to use?

I like the plugs upside down.

BS!!!! Cut your electricity by 90%!!!!!!!!!!!Come on, pull the other leg!

House is cold on living rooms

I would have assumed it was meant to use while making dinner. Many English (European) heat with a cooker or oven.

For me the bike wouldn't help me much, I'd have to have the energy go to another part of the house to heat it. I ride my bike in the winter and no matter how cold it is I sweat like crazy so I'd want it as cold as possible in the room I'm riding in.

You somehow forgot to mention that it is not enough to put that soapstone in the oven, you also have to turn it on, and that might ruin your concept of not depending on gas or electricity

Abraham Lincoln said that chopping your own wood heats you twice. Once when you chop it and once when you burn it.

The terracotta pot space heaters have shown to be wrong, I was fooled by them too over a decade ago. You're best off having the candles heating the room freely instead of wasting the heat heating the pot which will then radiate less heat out in to the room. Other's who can explain the physics of heat and thermal conductivity have explained it better than me in videos here on KZbin.

I've made the toilet paper heater and you need to remove the hard paper core first. Also, the candle heaters do not work very well. First, you cannot violate the First Law of Thermodynamics as a candle can only give off a given much heat. Instead of directing the heat to one narrow point, they absorb the heat and then radiate it but it takes time to heat up and can only produce the heat inside any given candle. But, they have their purpose. And, be careful as they can be be spilled or knocked over. Peace Ya'll.

I replaced the furnace in my large Alaskan 2-story home with a flower pot and 2 candles!

When the old man was fighting in the North African Desert. They'd take a large bully beef tin, cut off the lid, fill with sand, add petrol. There you are instant cook fire. Don't know how good they are for heating, but I've made similar with lamp oil, flavourless.

How come the thumbnail photo is not in the video?

Started this video, turned my back to make a quick cup of coffee, looked up at the screen and it was all finished..... More content would be good.

Basic thermodynamics. You will get exactly the same heat from three candles whether you add clay pots or not. There is no material known to man that will change that. The only thing you get with clay pots in the mix is more danger of the fire getting out of control.

great experiment. thanks

Dont forget to turn off that pesky carbon monoxide detector before doing this. . .🐱👈🤗look mom ....sarcastic cat,way safer for warming your lap and also hunts rodents when not in use🐁🐿️

Just remember: carbon monoxide poisoning is real

I've tried using that terra cotta pot method. It didn't do anything as far as providing any heat for my small space with low ceiling. but it looks nice.

If these are your backup plans, your screwed

Thanks

Great! except 3rd? loop? link? in chain too fast and unclear to me. I will experiment!

WHAT THE TEMPERTER ?WILL BE HOT?

Useful Video!👍But I haVe found from puttinG a bunch of tea lights so close together...they actually merged together...to Create a MassiVe Dangerous Super Flame🔥😮...so...Nope I ain't gonna recommend the Terra Cotta Idea at all!!!👍FoR heating up thinGs with alcohol simply get a small Tuna Can and put a fat wiCk in it and then pouR a lil alcohol in it to conserve alcohol and be able to handle a small fire!👍ThankS deeply foR EmpowerinG Humanity about your useful fire projects so that they can survive a Power Outage!✌🤓🙏😇

I use a candle in a container of vegetable shortening (inside of a metal can) to heat my garage. Use 100% beeswax candles. Works fantastic.

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

What a joke is this for people living in Florida 😂

Gotta luv the wannabe but oblivious

Rubbish

Alcohol stoves with alcohol, they work but u gotta keep an eye on them. Once that flame goes out, your gonna have a serious amount of fumes, I know from, experience, im in my 60,s, them Terry cotta ones , u gotta keep a eye on them too. Cuz they have a tendency for the pot to break,

That’s wrong, you put one nickel day1, two nickels, day 2, three nickels, day 3, ect, day 364 you put 364 nickels in and 365 in the last day then you will have over 3 thousand dollars all in nickels, in Britain it’s called the penny challenge, at the end of the penny challenge you will have just short of £670 saved, not too bad. 😊

With cast iron you can burn coal, coal burns at 1500F, when you add air it doubles.

sorry, but that terracotta pot heater is just stupid.. candles bring exactly the same amount of heat in the room, with or without the pots, because they dont have chimney...

What about fire alarms - in most houses and flats now.

People are idiots, if you can't figure out how to produce heat, you're not helping our species. Don't breed

Next call fire department
