Yours is by far the best video. You made it so clear and slowly let us visualize each step. You must me a trainer or manage people or a teacher. You have an excellent way of teaching. That is quite a gift you have, along with creating a gorgeous pot. Today I also bought a jar of river rock to add to my light like you used sea shells. This river rock is small but a beautiful assortment of rock colors that is beautiful with the terracotta. Another youtube guy bought little clay roses, leaves and stems, then painted them in vibrant colors and glued them onto the outside of his pot. Then he painted along the side musical notes like you see in a music book. Quite a beautiful idea and he was meticulous about his work. Thanks for the great presentation. I am still hoping the Lord will help me get this done like yours so I get more heat out of mine. Thanks again. Penney in kansas
The pot holder clips look a bit like purpose built pergola brackets one can buy from a local hardware store here in Crete. You have given me some ideas thanks!
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Kieran Tripp i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I like your design. Only difference I would consider is to make a wooden base a bit wider for even more stability. (I have cats.) When it's not being used, it could still be tipped over and broken by misadventure. But your intent to make something aesthetically pleasing is really nice.
Thanks, Wise Woman! You're right, it is a bit top heavy. If you appreciate aesthetically pleasing projects, check out some of my other videos.

Wow, very nice!!! Perfect for van life!!!! Fyi....crisco oil was originally made to burn 🔥...hence, the little flame on the can.......would/could I buy one from you? Great job!!!!
A candle puts out heat that can be measured in BTU's. A clay pot does not increase the BTU"s of the candle. The heated air rises to the ceiling. The clay pot will radiate the heat to some degree, but the warm air still rises just like using only a candle. My ceiling temperature did not increase after 6 days on continuous burning. It takes many more BTU's to heat the air in a room down to an "altitude" the you can feel. It's fine for warming your hands or maybe closet.
In an emergency situation the last thing you want to do is waste energy trying to heat a room using a convection heater! What he has actually created is a RADIENT heater - the walls of the pot pick up the heat and then radiate it out as you would discover by taking heat measurments of the pot wall and your ceiling. Naturally given the very low energy input the level of heat output will also be low but it will be enough to heat your hands/feet, etc. If you switched to cleaner fuels (eg methadone) and used carbon felt for the wick you could then place a mantle of fine steel mesh over the flame and place a metal reflecter shaped into an arc behind it you would then have a clean and very efficient heating unit!
Interesting concept, the only change I would make is to have a personal fan gently blowing air onto the terracotta or a handheld bellows system I toyed with a cheap alternative and scorched a Formica topped vanity by NOT properly ventilating the system.. That interior pot gets EXTREMELY hot and can re-direct the heat back at the source..Using a fan can cool off the hot outer surface
@@penbiz6744 I saw a system involving a HVAC elbow sitting on top of the outer pot with a personal fan built into the outlet.. Much more efficient.. It draws the air faster between the two pots than a normal convection process.. but it can cool the inner pot quicker as well..
This is great, but in an emergency, the base and the candle with wick may not be a handy item you already have. I do love this though. Great idea! Very creative.
That'ds the samereadson That's why you see oil lamps in movies and cartoons with a long neck, and a hole on the top of the body: so you can leave the flame burning as you add oil to the bowl! You still have to be careful though. for the metal supports, just study the video image carefully on a PC screen- not on a phone!
Great video, thanks for posting. Are they ok to use over and over continuously with new candles, or do you have let the pot cool down after a certain length of time?
@@wattage2007 Incorrect. Energy capture is a critical part of energy transfer and that is how a stove cooks and a water heater makes hot water. Using your logic, a log inside a fireplace is no better at directing heat than a log burning on your garage floor. A candle by itself dissipates much of its energy inside a 3-4 inch area around the candle, so how is that energy useful to anyone except for the light it emits? The clay pot is a method of energy capture, and when that energy is redirected, it becomes useful as radiant (infrared) heat.
19900 Btu's per pound of parrafin fuel. It burns slowly, maybe a quarter pound of fuel per 24 hours. Thus, it's not good for heating your home, but can be effective at providing some warmth in small spaces.
Ventilation is always important when using any kind of combustion. In a large room it might not be much of a problem unless it's closed off with more of these units.
I know these can become very dangerous using the wax tealight candles as the heat source , the wax can catch fire! I think this method , using an enclosed oil lamp, would be much safer!
Really Like!! Do you have the link to the glass wick holder that you mentioned. I don't see it here in the description as mentioned in the video. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry that link is dead so I removed it. Try searching Google for glass wick holder, I'm sure you'll find some applicable search results. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If I had a production facility and could source all the parts, yes. But most of these parts were repurposed, so it is not possible unless I put some serious effort into it. I'd basically have to quit my job and do this full time to make them available at 50$.
The majority of people show how to do this type of heater if the power goes out. As far as I know, they do not put a link down that one buys their stuff as this person has done. I think these people who are preppers help each other out by giving others information. But this guy wants you all to buy his stuff which is shallow he is only to help himself out and that is selfish. No one needs a glass jar and all this other stuff, take heed of what the preppers are doing.

I am sure this will help many people for light and warmth and yes there are many variants but yours is so attractive
Looks very pretty if you have to use it and even if you don't. Tks for idea.
This is a very interesting take on this idea. I am definitely going to show this one to my husband. Thank you for sharing!
Building about 4 or 6 of these could hear up an area . I will try this idea out. Thanks for you help.

Yep, use your imagination! Sounds like you'll figure something out.
Clever idea and nice of you to share !
What an informative video . Excellent commentary going straight to the heart of the matter . Nicest looking one ive viewed . Kudos !👌
Great idea and thanks for shaing!👍
Nicest one I've seen so far.👍
Love the Video the one I use is a 3 gallon pot works great
Very pretty
Nice job!
You should clean soot periodically otherwise chimney fire results may happen after too much buildup
Good advice. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@Kieran Tripp It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
Thank you that's a great idea .....due to expensive energy bills in 2022.

You can buy those little fans on Amazon and other places. People buy them and put on top of their wood burning stoves to move the air into the room.

Nice video, but I think your home is excellent too
This is an excellent video. Thank you very much. How long did it burn and how much heat did it provide? Again, Thanks.
That soot is lampblack and has its own uses!
Like what, pls? Interesting!
beautiful designe

Thank you
How big an area dose it heat thanks ?
If you can pick up the pot with your bare hand, it's NOT putting out enough heat to matter.
You are correct sir. It puts out no more heat than the flame. You will not be heating your house with one of these.
I read that poor people in the Victorian days would suspend a brick over a candle to be able to get some heat in the room .
@@howardwayne3974 Great bit of trivia that demonstrates the concept. I did not know that, thanks for sharing!
It's Infrared
+4 an above should be enough to stay warm for most people with the right blankets I doubt the golden throne will much approved lol
What is the little pot inside for
Added thermal mass.
Great video, thanks for posting. Are they ok to use over and over continuously with new candles, or do you have let the pot cool down after a certain length of time?
I let it burn for hours on end with no issue. Never while I slept though!
can you give me an idea of how much heat comes off of this heater . ???
R C Less than there would be if you just burned the candle without the pots.
wattage2007 I see ... thanks .
I've seen other videos about clay pot heaters that showed temps around 160 degrees and more.
@@wattage2007
Incorrect. Energy capture is a critical part of energy transfer and that is how a stove cooks and a water heater makes hot water.

How much heat comes from it, how long does it burn 🔥
19900 Btu's per pound of parrafin fuel. It burns slowly, maybe a quarter pound of fuel per 24 hours. Thus, it's not good for heating your home, but can be effective at providing some warmth in small spaces.
Paint the pot with high temp paint for a nicer look
It looks better as a clay pot to me. Maybe some artwork on the side though.
One could do that--but I prefer the rustic look of the clay pot as it is.
I added river rocks to the plate that is holding my candle and it looks good. I have mine heating really well now so very happy.
Can u use cooking oil to burn ?
I tried olive oil and yes it burns but the flame was very small with not much heat output. Kind of defeated the purpose.
are we to assume that there shouldn't be any dangers for fume accumulating? bc this is just like burning candles in the house right?
Ventilation is always important when using any kind of combustion. In a large room it might not be much of a problem unless it's closed off with more of these units.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
I think if you're burning anything indoors you should have battery powered CO and smoke detectors (battery so they'll work in a power outage)
I know these can become very dangerous using the wax tealight candles as the heat source , the wax can catch fire! I think this method , using an enclosed oil lamp, would be much safer!

Click Show More and the link is right below that.
Use only cleanburning beeswax.
Watching this in 2021.
Could you build and sell them for $50? Think people would buy them at that price, and yes they can makeshift make their own. Like your design though.
If I had a production facility and could source all the parts, yes. But most of these parts were repurposed, so it is not possible unless I put some serious effort into it. I'd basically have to quit my job and do this full time to make them available at 50$.
Still don't adhere to the two pot theory as one will do
That's fine. This is like potato salad recipes: everyone has their own tweak.
I went from 2 pots to one pot and like it better.
Damn if i build this am sure will get more chicks .. hahahahaha
And a few Roosters, no doubt!
If You build it .......
Crisco oil won't give you the soot!

I'm not sure what you are rambling about. I provided one link to the glass wick to make it easy to find. Should I not have done that?
Forget it by a normal heater u stingy
