Keeping warm without power
Hi all, just saw this posted on my FB page and thought it was a neat idea. I haven't tested it, but thought it was worth sharing. We never know when something like this comes in handy!
The guy put 4 tea lights in a small-ish metal loaf pan, then placed a 3-4" clay pot (with the hole covered) over the loaf pan, and then a large (maybe 7-9") clay pot over that with the hole open. He said the tea lights will burn for about 4 hours, and that it kept his small office warm when there was no power. He even used it occasionally when the office was simply cold.
If I was more techno-able, I'd post the connection.... sigh... Hope this helps! I'm going to try it when it warms up enough to dig through my garden stuff in the (very cold, detached) garage.
