Warming a small room with no electric whatsoever! If you find yourself in the dark and cold without sufficient emergency supplies, here are a few ways to create a bit of heat and light with things found around the house. Flower Pot Heater You will need: 1 metal loaf pan 4 tealite candles 2 terra cotta pots (both big enough to balance on the edges of the loaf pan, but one bigger than the other) Aluminum foil Line the loaf pan in aluminum foil to create a reflective surface. Set the pan where you want your heat source to be. It should be on a heatproof counter top or table and away from anything flammable. Place tealites inside the pan and light them. Set the smaller Terra cotta pot upside down on top of the loaf pan, centering it so it’s safely balanced. Place a folded piece of tin foil over the hole in the bottom of the overturned pot to keep the candle heat from escaping. Place the larger pot on top. This will heat a small room for several hours. Beware: Never leave any lit candles unattended. Keep it out of reach of pets and children. The pots will get hot.
