- In this video, I'm testing out an emergency heat and light system using a Terracotta Pot Heater and I will be conducting a candle burn test to see if my DIY candles can last for 72 Days. I will show you how to easily assemble a radiant heater using garden terracotta pots that you may already have in the yard.
If you want a fire that is 99.9% worry free:

If you can touch the pot with your bare hands your not heating that room.
I can touch the vents that blow heat in my house
@@jasonweaver6315 That's not "radiant" heat........ SMH
You know how much heat energy is created approximately by how many kilocalories are in that lard. It's actually a decent amount. But at the rate it is burning here, surely not fast enough to make a huge difference in a typical room. You can up the ante by using more than one flame (wick/candle).
*you're
If you're in a freezing situation placing that in a small room would give off plenty of heat and light hence the part of the title "emergency"
This is a awesome heat source .. Please be mindful that it does produce carbon dioxide and you need to have VENTILATION, If you use this and feel dizzy disoriented or confused .. ( PLEASE GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY ) ... The world is a nicer place with you in it
I guess this is what they are using for the currect 'resident' of the White House!
He had this sitting in his fireplace. I can’t think of one reason why, that flue would have been closed? He said it was November, and cold 🥶.
Are you saying Biden's bedroom doesn't have enough ventilation? Is this why he is dizzy, disoriented and confused all the time?
Great idea for emergency lighting but apparently not so much for heating
Might be good for a little light source,Doesnt seem like a heat souce if you can touch it...I think I'll just save my lard
5:40 After 6 days continual burn? The "emergency heating" pot was removed with bare hands? And the glass jar/bottle also? So, a light source, not a heat source? 🤔
I think you could get a thicker wick, if you did that you would burn a little faster and hit that 6 day mark, or maybe even a little shorter, but it would give off a bit more heat.
yeah, and the flashlight on a $20 android burner phone is brighter, portable, cheaper to operate, and probably gets almost as warm
plus it comes with a free computer
Are you a politician? @@jd35711
Might be good if you use a couple of them in a small bedroom in an enegency .
Just have yo have a CO meter on the wall to tell you if the CO levrl is safe .
What did you use for a wick please
That heat is going right up the fluew
just like in a wood stove or a "non-efficient" furnace. So what?
A long time ago, I use to keep a coffee can stuffed with a roll of toilet paper, with the center removed, and filled with alcohol. If my car broke down when it was cold out side I could light it and keep warm until help came.This might work better than what I had, because lard will stay good forever. It wont leak out, or evaporate, just ready when you need it.
That’s awesome.
I have cooked my breakfast with roll of toilet paper.
@@tbo2341 that’s truly awesome 😎
did he say the wick needs to be 100 %cotton
@@tbo2341 delicious.
"this is hot to the touch!" : Proceeds to take it apart bare handed!😂😂😂.
Thank you for sharing this information & testing it out for us to see the results! I have often heard this was a nice way to light a space in an emergency & am thankful to see it in practice.
It seems you are more concerned about how long the candles burn. You have not mentioned how warm your space is
these do a GREAT job of reducing the damp humidity in the house even if not a huge heat source-- the damp bothers me a lot and this really helps that.
Wow that’s awesome thanks for letting us know some added benefits 😃
Interesting observation. Where I live it's semi-arid and 90% forced air natural gas residential heating where we need a humidifier to add moisture into the conditioned space.
Carbon monoxyde poisonning
or you know... just grow a tree and water it every 4-5 days... produce food, humidity, filter your air and even produce food at zero electricity cost.@@davec.1045
Edit: I chose a lemon tree, so I can use the leaves for the oil and the fruit for a Vit C source... just stick it by a window and have something under it to collect run off. Leave the run off to evaporate and raise the moisture levels around the tree. IF you cant remember to water a tree every 4-5 days (will grow to the size of your pot, and you can trim it)... then you have more problems than lack-of-humidity.
damp is removed by removing moisture from the room. How? by opening windows and doors to let air circulate and allow the moisture to escape.
My patriot supply has these heaters/ stoves you can cook with the as well for $99.99 they have a fan on them that works from the heat no electricity or batteries needed. Worth every penny.
"patriot supply"? What, it burns "don't tread on me" flags?
Tell me more or where to check it out
Love how you tell us about the amazing product but not where to get them 😒
think their talking about a vesta heater
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Note: no need for background noise/music (annoying).
We just want to HEAR YOU TALK...
Agreed. What the hell are people thinking when they add music to these recordings. Didn't even have a remote mic and therefore was even harder to hear at times. DUMB!
@@AdaptivePhenix
EXACTLY
This is just amazing that the candle burns for so long. Would not have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes.
Happy New Year fella too.
Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you watch a video that said it was 6 days?
That's awesome!! Thank you SO MUCH for this!! ❤
This is great yes I want the link to make candles. Thank you
I absolutely 💯 love your videos. I'm learning alot from you. Thank you🎉
It would have been nice if you talked about the wick you used and how you made the candles
Thanks check out my other video where I showed that
Yea so now you got to watch 2 videos that should of been one plus the video was too long for what he presented 🤷👎
7:37 looks like a great project for ambience. Not useful for heat unless maybe you have built a tent in your bedroom.
That’s amazing.
Good video dude thank you
How much heat did it produce?? What size room will it heat??
If you have a fireplace theirs plenty of free wood stock up on it .
Thank you for uploading the information. I am sharing this video with people in Europe.
🙏🏻
If you put that tester in the fireplace then isn't most of your heat going to go up the chimney
That is brilliant. thank you sir..
You are welcome
Glad you liked it 😃
SOOT: Try to add an old metal funnel on the top. You will spoil the air, ceilings, curtains, clothes with soot. It is toxic.
What does the metal funnel do?
@@godzilla6490 It will collect soot!!
Prices might be a little crazy where you live.
I just compared the price of shortening per lb here. To the prices of 2 different kinds of candle wax. (Paraffin and soy wax) And I cannot for the life of me work out why anybody would be willing to pay so much more just to burn the shortening as if it was some sort of win. And that isn't even getting into the differences in how cleanly each burns. Shortening is the dirtiest fuel option. It even has less energy per unit of weight than the candle waxes meaning that per lb, it provides less heating. So, shortening is more expensive, dirtier and provides less heat.
Vegetable fats used to be the go to fuel for small flames for much of history, there are REASONS we stopped using them as fuel, they suck. We switched as soon as any alternative became available.
Granted this idea is being sold as "emergency" fuel. But if you are stocking it for "emergencies" then you may as well stock something cheaper and cleaner burning. Or get a wood burning stove for emergencies, if you don't care about a clean burn.
The fuel, very literally, grows on trees.
Hello, will these candles if used 24/7 if not vented out will I expect to see any residue on the ceiling or wall? Thanks.
Hi, great video. I have a 2006 and a 2001 fjr1300. Thinking of building a street fighter from th older one . Apart from broken parts, how much did you invest in the rebuild?
Anders
If things work for you thats what counts everyone can do there own, thats how things increases by doing, great post
Thank you for your video. Has any one told you that you sound like Father Guido Sarducci from SNL
If you are able to pick it up something is wrong. Most others say it gets so hot you can't touch it. If you can pick it up it isn't heating much of anything. I doubt it even raised the temp in that fireplace by even 2 degrees.
Thank you so much! What an awesome 👏🏽 video and idea! Full time RVer here and needed this for the winter 🥶 just in case! Appreciate your help!
You are welcome. Glad you enjoy…hopefully this can help. 😃
@@don_wynn thank you very much. It’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to have to try this because it gets super cold.
What kind of wick did you use for it to be that long?
It was some cheap candle from Walmart
I keep just a shortening candle in the camper for just in case.
Can you keep the firplace vent closed while heating with this.
Thank you so much !
You’re welcome 😃
This works regardless of the lard turning to liquid? What supports the wick when the stuff melts, as it surely will in an enclosed space like that?
Metal conducts heat better than clay. Use a small metal grate over the candle, then the elbow. If it burns your fingers to the touch, it's working.
4/5 left... still a good video. Glad I didn't waste my time testing.
You could use it in a tent inside of your house to survive I’m in Texas and my power was out most of the time and propane and secondary heat sources ran out for a lot of us
If you cover the hole you make an oven..leave the hole open for ventilation to spread the heat.
How well did it really work?
doesn't the top terra cotta plate have yo be elevated with pennies or washers under it to let some heat out of the hole on the top????
Just asking because I see others do it.
The hard part is you can't actually judge the heat cause the fireplace will stuck the heat right up the chimney.
if it's actually cold outside, and your flue is open, it will actually make your house way colder. no way the candle will keep up with cold air coming straight down the chimney.
@@daishan1234 air moves from warm to cold.
@@RJ-li2xd hot air rises, and cold air falls.
a tiny amount of heat coming from a candle will in no way be able to "lift" the cold column of air trying to press downwards into your house.
combined with this, in america at least, lots of homes have been built with masonry fireplaces on the exterior of the home, exposed to the cold. The masonry in this case will also conduct the heat from within your home directly to the outside world.
What are you using for a wick?
Very good
Thank you 😃
How did it do heating up the house?
you need a metal box on top with some metal fins inside. opened ends with a fan blowing through, then you can use the "heat"
Interesting, good to know.❤❤❤
😃thanks for watching
When I did the pots, I could touch them too when I used candles, they got warm but wasn't bad to touch
Like your show wish had such a thing and light source cool
Thanks
Has it put off enough heat to heat a small room or bed room?
i'm impressed too :)
More heat would be retained in the room if the fireplace was blocked and unused, all the heat is going up the chimney and causing air changes in the room. Well done for proving your time theory.
Thanks. And thanks for the tip
😃
I'd like to see what temp it's getting up to.
So how did this do out in the open room ? On a table ? Stove ? But in the dark no other light ? Thank you
Very cool 😎 concept for Dire days if needed thx 😊
Thanks
😃😃😃
Is this a video on how long a quart mason jar candle will burn? 6 days. Wow! Thanks.
Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
😃
What are you using for a wick? Looks like clothesline? You just saturate it with the lard and run it down the center of the candle?
Do these need vented to use indoors?
How hot did it get?
question is, did it heat the room are just that small area it was contained in
Also depends on how open fireplace damper is..to burn wood most of the way open.eith a candle all the heat goes out chimney..in survival I d just crack it open enough for smoke to go out
thank, you for you're video.🙏
You’re welcome,, thanks for watching 😃
That is what I am wondering from another commenter. It doesn't look like it puts out enough heat to heat a large room if the pot doesn't get real hot on the sides. Maybe good enough if a person got up right by the pot and like you say for dire emergency purposes.
Though thanks for the idea.
Did you manage to the temp?
What size is the pot n plate please
A larger wick might make more heat but shorter burn time
How much heat does it radiate? I wish you had done it with a temperature measuring.
Outdated cooking oil is still safe to use when it's still clear. If the fats start breaking down it gets cloudy. Then you can use it for fuel.
I used it in the rv when the generater died
I need to know cold temp of house before or after
We have a home with triple pane windows, 6 inch exterior walls, house wrapped and foam filled insulated vinyl siding... a match would heat our 2,400 square feet; maybe an exaggeration, but it would take the freeze off with no outside breeze making it in. A low insulated drafty house couldn't get those results.
If your house is that well insulated, you have to worry about asphyxiation or carbon monoxide instead.
@phil2156 LOL... says the guy who more than likely has a gas furnace. Our home is all electric.
@@TheFrugalFlyRodder I didn't know this video was about gas furnaces or electric heat, I thought it was about burning hydrocarbon candles indoors.
@@phil2156 did even read and "fully" understand my reply?
If you can show how to make the candle it would be a help did you put an ordinary candle in first then pour round it?
While it's soft enough to push a candle down into it then let it harden more ..just make sure your candle is not sticking up out of the jar ...cut it to be low enough to cover with a lid...
Would this cause carbon monoxide? Thanks. Great video!
Use beeswax candles not petroleum
mate you really leaned on the mike gain button at the start lol good vid
Get the feet for the pot or small flat rocks with only a bout an inch or two space
Can you use Crisco in a old kerosene lamp? I've seen them in flea markets for around $10.
No, even veg oil is too thick to wick in a kerosene lantern with a cotton wick.
It *might* be possible to use carbon felt to wick veg oil - depends on the height - carbon felt will only be able to wick the oil so far, 2 inches or so.
Our heated attached over sized 2 car garage never gets below 40 degrees F in the winter when the outside temperature is around 15 degrees F.
Our detached 12X24 (288 sq ft) 1 car garage isn’t heated, but I’d like for it to be around 40 degrees F or higher.
How many terra-cotta pots would I need to keep it warm?
I would only want to keep it warm (40 degrees F overnight), so that our pickup can stay warmer than the 15 degrees F outside.
At 75-85 BTU per candle, you need quite a few of these things burning at the same time.
I'm glad to hear you talk about the size space these things will heat. It's not a big area that's for sure. These won't work on a home that has the typical insulation in them.
I would imagine a small cabin with extreme insulation (spray foam?) could benefit from the candle. I try to keep a positive mind with these type heaters and try to remember they really won't heat a large room in the cold.
👍🏻
But maybe a tent in your living room that's insulted with Mylar and a blanket? I haven't watched the video yet, I always read the comments first.,. I think I read a woman in Texas used her dog and a candle in a tent in this manner to stay warm during the ice storm Texas had a year or two back...
I think they would keep one from freezing to death. Total emergency use, but in an emergency the warmth and light these would give would be morale boosting.
Yup, it all comes down to BTUs. A candle isn't going to create a lot of heat, no matter what you have around it (clay, brick, metal, etc). It's something to huddle close to, to keep your core temperature from falling below safe levels. You're actually better off using the candle to heat a brick, then wrap the brick in cloth and put it in your sleeping bag. Extra heat that lasts and will dissipate slowly, through the night.
The length of burning is surprising. The heat might not be intense- but it will keep you survive and not freeze to death incase of power outages and a deep freeze. If the temperature is only staying 10 degrees higher that is an improved. You can always double and tripple up.
I like the idea of knowing an alternative source of heating.
How much real heat is it giving off?
So, isn't this also a cooking option, heat, light and slow cook a roast and root veggies? With just a couple adjustments?
Doesn't matter how long it burns if it doesn't get hot enough to burn your hands when you check it out !
How many hours did the flame last?
What temperature is the pot ? A raise in room temperature?
Did you put a wick in it
What's the point of the terra cotta pot?
Did u use a wick?
He isn't showing you how hot it makes a room he's showing you how long it lasts , That's what's wrong with people , to quick to pass judgement and not enough listening and paying attention to what he's saying in the first place!
Why did you not measure the temperature at any time over the 6 days, or at the very least have a thermometer next to it?
How Hot does that get... have you used something to measure it?
You can form a cone by stacking smaller and smaller pots on the large base pot.
Yes I’ve seen that done too. Great idea thanks
😃
No need to cut/trim the wick?
Is it odorless?
Wow, you invented candles
how many BTU does put out
You need to put a big screw through the hole n put washers nuts between other smaller Terricota pots. I ran one like this n from abt 5-6 feet away from my chair it got significantly hotter. Very impressive. Probably need to set up a smaller area using sheets to make a tent in a real situation. Thanks for showing us how long the shortening burns.
does the shortening leave a residue above where it is burning or on the walls and ceiling or onside the pot and tube? Thanks!
To say nothing of the potential residue it leaves in the lungs.
