One risk just about everyone in North America runs, depending on the season, is that the power goes out for more than just a few hours.
If that happens in the Winter in the north and you heat with gas or electricity, it can be more than inconvenient.
If it is cold enough, it can be deadly!
In just December of 2016, for example, northern NH had at least five days and nights where the temperature hovered around zero degrees Fahrenheit.
If you did not have power or heat during that cold snap, it was more than inconvenient.
That scenario is played out throughout northern North America throughout the Winter.
Luckily, if you have clay planters, a muffin tin and Tea Lights and you are in that boat, you have one very hot option.
Make your own heater! Check out the next page to see how.

I created one of these last year..I use to to supplement the electric baseboard heat in my 16 x 40 master bedroom suite…Electric bills are lower and bedroom is warmer this year!

Sweet
Used to do that on our boar that had a double burner alchol stove and oven. Worked really great.
I’ve done this and it works the only downside is you have to be in a small room.
Doesn’t work
you get no more BTU’s out by doing this…
Be careful….some of these pots have a coating which is flammable. I speak from first hand experience.
Neat
This could save your life!
Doesn’t work
The candles only produce a few BTUs adding the clay pots add nothing
This is NOT safe! The materials used are NOT heat rated! The candle wax can get so hot that all of the wax can flash to steam, steam that will flash into flame. DO NOT make nor use this device!
Made 6 of these last year. Put 4 tea light candles under each of the 6 double pot heaters and they really do heat the pots up and produces radiator type heat. Will work great in a pinch. You can get 100 tea light candles for under $4.00. Right now I’m using them to take the chill out of the air in downstairs hobby room. It’s better than turning up the heat and paying higher electric bills.
Bullshit
Living in Florida I do not see the need but will certainly remember this and pass it on to people up north.
