I wanted a wood stove but all we have around here is cedar fence posts. The best cold wx cure for my dumass would be some diesel. Put it in a truck and move.
When I was a young kid, if it was cold, we used to sit around a candle.
If it got really cold, my Dad would light it.
agreed!!!
zeer pots for keeping things cool are another.
Most people are “dim” when it comes to SCIENCE, Beans.
Gubmint edukayshun, don’cha know!
Yes it will read it again. You ASSumed it meant adequate heat.
BTW, how BIG is a room?
Average candle maybe 80btu. 60watt bulb about 200btu neither one is making it for me. Now if the greenies burned their bs it could be quite toasty if one could stand the stink
in a bad winter it can drop to the teens or lower. ( hills of pa. )
my neighbors thought I was nuts for installing 2 wood stoves after we moved up here. when heating oil jumped up over 4 bucks a gallon, they changed their minds
even propane has gone up a fair bit from what I hear.
I get a fair bit of wood every time there a god wind storm here. just have to cut and stack it,
In an oven, a closed environment, a similar contraption can maintain a heat high enough for yeast to develop. I live in the mountains and use this in winter to make bread.
Heat a a room? No. It might be useful for warming hands.
I’ll need something to warm me up too. Autumn started a couple weeks back, winter won’t be here until halfway through June, typically, but last night it dropped to 16C/60F ambient temperature. You might say “Big deal!”, but I live on the coast, in the tropics not too way south of the equator!
Today, Wed. 10th., the maximum is forecast as 25C/76F. Up on the Atherton Tablelands plateau, it’s 8C/46F – 17C/66F, again the tropics, but 1,000 feet higher.
In case you fellas haven’t twigged yet, Al Gore is full of shit. His Inconvenient Truth a great big Scamming Lie. I’m a boy from the tropics, born and raised here, I’m gonna freeze my arse off this winter coming.
The truly deleterious effect is that all the local girls cover up straight away, seemingly frightened of frostbite, it’s only the northern hemisphere tourists that get their gear off for a suntan.

Thanks, Johno – learn somethin’ new every day! And you’re right, of course. Al Gore is full of shit.
No. It won’t. If 50 candles in a room doesn’t raise the temperature significantly, which they don’t, then 1 candle won’t do jack shit.
Want a warmer room? Get an old school gas or propane Coleman lantern. That shit will warm up a room.
Or go with one of those 80’s/90’s halogen stand lamps, or a couple incandescent bulbs, if you have power.
But candles? Pshaw.
How do I know? I used to camp, a lot, a lot lots. Hugely lots. And used candles for light. No appreciable difference on a cold or hot day.
And the sad thing is, this bullscat has been perpetuated over and over for at least 20 years.
Want to warm your room or tent? Get a wood stove.
Yup, either a wood stove or a wood stove. A portable rocket stove is easy. https://starblue.co/products/camping-rocket-stove-with-free-carrying-bag
