1. Refrigerator
You'll Need:
large ceramic flower pot
smaller ceramic flower pot
duct tape
sand
pot lid
dish towel
Here's How:
1.1 Cover the hole on the bottom of the larger flower pot with duct tape.
1.2 Cover the bottom of the flower pot with sand.
1.3 Cover the hole on the bottom of the smaller flower pot with duct tape and place it inside the larger pot. Fill the space between the two pots with sand.
1.4 Pour water into the space until the sand is completely soaked.
1.5 Place drinks and whatever else you want to stay cool in the smaller pot and cover with a lid and dish towel. Now there's no need to pay a fortune to keep the fridge running and it's especially handy when you're outdoors or don't have easy access to electricity.

2. BBQ Lid
You'll Need:
large ceramic flower pot
washers
nuts
u-hook
Here's How:
2.1 Drill two holes in the bottom of the flower pot - make sure the holes are the same distance apart as the u-hook.
2.2 Screw two nuts onto the u-hook.
2.3 Place two washers on the drilled holes and carefully slide the u-hook through the holes.
2.4 Turn the pot over and tighten the nuts to secure the u-hook.
2.5 Now you have your very own grilling lid! If you want to give something a nice smoky flavor, just throw it on the grill, cover with your new BBQ accessory, and let it cook. You'll get great flavor and save on all those oven costs!
* * * *
3. Grill
You'll Need:
large ceramic flower pot
cake pan
charcoal briquettes
grill grate
Here's How:
3.1 Drill four holes in the bottom of the flower pot.
3.2 Drill several holes in the bottom of a cake pan.
3.3 Place the pan in the bottom of the flower pot and fill it with charcoal briquettes.
3.4 Place the grill grate on top and get cooking! You'll save tons on a big, fancy, expensive grill.
* * * *
4. Heater
You'll Need:
large ceramic flower pot
smaller ceramic flower pot
threaded rod
nuts
washers
2 bricks
small plate
2 tea lights
Here's How:
4.1 Screw a nut and a washer onto the end of the threaded rod.
4.2 Slide the larger flower pot over the threaded rod. Stand the larger pot on its head and feed the bolt through the hole in the middle. Then turn the pot over. It should now be standing on the washer and the nut. Now place another washer on the bolt and screw a bolt on. Then, again, place another washer on the bolt before sliding on the smaller pot, followed by the last washer and the last nut.
4.3 Place the bricks parallel to each other on the floor. Leave space in between for your heat source: a plate with the lit tea lights. Finally, set the upturned clay pot construction on the top of the bricks. The pots should be directly over the tea lights. Heating is expensive in winter, but that won't be a problem for you after you get this contraption up and running.
* * * *
Now that summer is officially over, you probably have quite a few empty flower pots lying around - it's about time you put them to good use!

enjoy the ideas using terra cotta pots as fridge, water purifier, smoker and grill but I've tried the heater thing and it failed to the Nth degree. I see videos that praise glory to them as heaters but every attempt I made did 0 to affect a heat source that actually worked.

I do appreciate your creativity here. I am from Asia and used clay stove. You just gave me an idea that I could use almost the same thing here in the US. Great idea. Thanks for sharing!

LOL! Yeah, unless the ambient temperature isn't high enough to cause the necessary evaporation. Evaporative cooling requires temperatures above 90 F for it to work. Otherwise, it will not stay below the 48 F required to keep your food from spoiling. How do I know? Personal experience.

[@wilsjane]

From around 1870 here in the UK, houses had a panty on the rear ground floor corner of the building. Their was no damp course and a tiny window pointing away from the sun and the entire structure was 9 inch brickwork. Some houses had a well in the floor to allow water to be added during dry weather. The primary refrigeration caused by water evaporation maintained a temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) below ambient in summer. Needless to say, during periods of constant rain, do to the saturated vapor of the ambient air, the efficiency decreased. In about 1930, primary refrigerators (called cool boxes) were marketed for people living in apartments. The looked like and weighed about as much as a safe. Working on the same principal, the entire outer shell was a 3 inch thickness or porous stone. with a stainless steel liner and shelves inside. Their was a saucer shaped depression on the top and a cup of water was added to keep the stone at the correct saturation to optimise evaporation. It was a fine art that few people mastered. Due to the already damp air, they would not work in a kitchen, so people situated them in hallways and even on the balcony. To understand how all this works, you simply need to consider how when it takes 5 minutes to boil a kettle. When it is left on the stove it takes a further 25 minutes to boil dry, but the water does not get any hotter. It takes 100 calories to boil 1 gram of water and a FURTHER 540 calories to convert it into vapour The principals and use of primary water refrigeration can be traced back for thousands of years.

Be careful! I read that using tea lights in a clay pot can sometimes cause the pot to explode.

Them flower pot heaters needs thicker richer flames for it to work.I would avoid using Tea Light candles.Its a video called "The Ultimate Flower Pot Candle Heater-DiY Radiant Space Heater" He use some type of cotton to get better flames vs them tea light candles.And try using Corded In-Line Duct Fan from the Home Depot or something to circulate the heat.

[@zephyrdrake_]

The tealights will not heat up a room, a single tealight would only output about 30w energy equivalent which is basically nothing, I don't know where that nonsense came from tbh.

[@khaavren3]

Exactly, the energy output is the same no matter how you reflect it. The pots wouldn't add energy to the candles.

[@wisewoman7906]

You nay-sayers go ahead and keep your narrow-minded opinions, and the next time you are without power in the middle of the winter, you won't be as warm as those who use this (working) technique. You obviously have never tried it.

[@PETERJOHN101]

You could not be more wrong. 30 watts of energy generated by a tea light is not the same as heat transfer through convection for the same reason that an iron becomes hot when electrical energy meets with *_resistance._* Heat trapped inside of a clay pot does not need to represent *_more_* energy than that produced by the candle flame, it merely needs to direct that energy more usefully. The reason a candle by itself will not generate the same amount of useful heat is because all of its energy dissipates a few inches away from the flame. Convection is simply a way to direct that energy and transfer it to a larger area. All energy systems (solar panels, heating elements, geothermal, hydro-electric, etc.) work by converting one form of energy into another and then directing that energy into a more useful form. You should have learned this in the 7th grade.

47 is enough to keep fresh fruit from spoiling for a while. Cheese too. Much depends on ambient humidity, the device construction, and outside temperature. And of course the windy it is the better it works. Look up swamp coolers.
