First, attach the smaller pot to the inside of the larger one, by inserting the bolt into the hole. Put a washer on every time the terracotta will touch metal. Screw on the nuts tightly. Place candles in the baking sheet. Light them.<\/p>\n

Next, place the attached pots upside down overtop of the lit candles. Wait about 20-30 minutes, and it will begin radiating heat. Be safe! Make sure the candles\/pots won’t get tipped over easily and that the pots are secured ontop of the baking sheet.<\/p>\n

Heating a space without electricity is useful for situations when you can’t afford\/don’t have access to adequate heating in your home, to save money, living in a portable shelter such as a car or a tent, or choosing to live “off-grid.” It can be used in black-out situations, or if you ever choose to build a cabin for yourself in the woods. Really, anytime you need to heat a space and don’t want to use\/cannot use electricity.<\/p>\n

DIY projects such as these are often attributed to the “living off-grid” ideology\/movement, but are not restricted to it. You don’t have to have an off-grid lifestyle to implement ideas such as these into your life, or use when it is appropriate for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
