    A great process using a nice, inexpensive resource, Woody. Thanks for sharing how to do this.

    We certainly need as many heaters as possible at the moment !

    Nicely done Woody and you've reminded me I have one of those out in the shop that I need to make a chimney for... Could the next video be how and why the chimney is set up? ;)

      @@cumbrianhomestead I was toying with the idea of a paraffin heater but since my local DIY shop closed down (soon to be 20 new houses!) nowhere near to me sells the paraffin. How times have changed! I remember just going to a petrol station and filling a container from a barrel tap!

      Yeh there was a local garage nearby that sold it out of a 250 litre drum ( you took your own container) cheapest I could find now is £8.75 for 4 litres 😨

    I have one in my mini greenhouse - changed the wick yesterday - waste of time in a polytunnel though, might as well burn money : All the best - Steve

      Not sure Steve, they have lots of chrysanthemum stools, bulbs etc in there some of which are through so think they're worried about them getting hot.

    Hi woody we used to be allowed these on our plots which were very handy in greenhouse, then we had idiots use them to set fire so banded now 😒

    Can you wind in the wick from the top, winding anticlockwise?

    • @cumbrianhomestead
      @cumbrianhomestead  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there
      I tried that, but it didn't work.
      Winding from the bottom is the best way I could establish, but the end needs to be flat and square.
      Thanks for watching 👍👍

      Hello Kath
      You turn the wick down and blow out the flame 😉
      I hope you are keeping well ❤️
