GloWarm Candle heater.

I had not planned on taking a thermometer along to be honest Al.......but now you have mentioned it......I will :thumbsup:
It would be good to see exactly how well it does.....or does not.....what difference it actually makes. :whistle:
As far as a dynamo goes I think I will pass on that.....I have enough trouble getting batteries the right way around in torches and the likes :)
 
Or……

Fix a peltier cell (Maplin) on one side of the heater, face the other side towards the colder outer wall of your tent and you may get enough juice to charge yer mobile. (use a diode to prevent reverse polarity).

With yer heater/thermomete/charger, I see you being the best equipped bloke at the meet up..😆👍🏻
 
Quote 1 shot: "Some other types like the UCO (example) offer 9hr candles but at nearly £6 for 3 (Average)......a tad expensive."

-I managed to get a bag of 25 long burn, awhile ago on line for about £6????????
I can't imagine these candle heaters give out much heat? (They seem expensive too?) Well 4 candles worth? Origo made an excellent (alcohol) heater stove, which apparently was very good at heating small campervans etc., according to some vids on U tube?

I think we're talking about different things, i thought you were on about the HeatPal 5100, at that price, I guess not lmao, what are you on about ?
 
  • Haha
Reactions: lol
Indeed, what am I on about????:confused:

UCO.....make a candle light that takes tealights.........for a longer burn you can get 8-12 tealight candles, as per 50 pack for that candle heater?
Origo, who make the Heatpal........., excellent/effective bit of kit, but not cheap?

;)
 
Just saw these in Lidl …..

@Bopdude

Get another while they are still there Al :thumbsup:.....good price and investment :thumbsup:

From what they are saying on the News about looming energy price increases.......there may be a rush to buy this kind of kit in the not so distant future 🤔
I have ordered 4 more of the Ikea Stainless Cutlery Caddies to have a go at a DIY version for just using in the house.

I bought something similar to the ikea drainer, it's a purpose made thing to go over a heat source, twin walled, meant to give off infra red heat, gonna try a 10 hour candle and fan with it, I don't hold out much hope?
