DIY Terra Cota Pot Emergency Heater Variant

Get yourself a terra cotta pot, 90 degree HVAC duct, small glass jar, birthday candles, and vegetable shortening and you can make a DIY emergency heater with relative ease. Not sure why she made two heaters for this test, but the idea clearly works. I read a few comments for the video, and one person suggested raising the pots by inserting pennies underneath to allow for better airflow as well as using more than one birthday candle to increase heat output. I’m sure there are other ways to make this more efficient if you do more research. Last, as with any DIY heater build, always practice safety first. Keep this away from kids and pets, use oven gloves to prevent burns, and never let it burn unattended.
