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:

See how I made DIY vegetable shortening candles that lasts for days:

This emergency heat and light system is perfect for situations where you don’t have access to electricity. By using a Terracotta Pot Heater which radiates heat, you can keep your home warm and safe in situations where electricity is unavailable. Watch this video to see how it works!

The banjo is SUPER IRRITATING. Why do people think we are so stupid , that we need This noise .
Medal pot more wicks, last less time but burn hotter, mite boil water
Someone send this guy a bag full of the letter 'T.'
Great idea for emergency lighting but apparently not so much for heating
The hard part is you can't actually judge the heat cause the fireplace will stuck the heat right up the chimney.
So much wrong with this: it stinks, the heat from candle is not transferred effectively to thermal mass…
What aGARBAGE. I did it my house. In my bedroom. It did not heat up the room. It doesnt work, its dilusional at best. A candle no matter how you dress it will not heat your room up.
In this video a man spends $10 to provide 94,000 BTU very very slowly. At a rate of 163 btu/hr or approximately 5w. A night light creates that much heat. A kerosene lantern will give you more heat and run cheaper. Plus it doesn't look like you have clay pots in your house
Doesn’t look like it’s providing much heat 🤦🏾♂️
What size is the pot n plate please
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 truly want to save energy. Stop using fire places. They have to move air up the chimney and as your hot air goes up. It brings cold air into your house. Wood stoves do it as well. But not as bad.
Just another crappy video that shows nothing but the same as all of them. So sad, dos not give any heat at all of course…..
Does the candle cause soot?
I call bs. You wouldn’t be able to touch that
If you can handle the pot and plate with your bare hands. it is worthless for heating.
Why would you put this "heater" in the fireplace???? All you're heating is the chimney not the room.
I’m pretty sure Yankee Candle doesn’t care if you burn a jar of crisco.
The clay pot will make no difference as you cannot make more heat by adding something in the way.
DO NOT USE A CANDLE OF ANY KIND FOR HEATING. It encourages airflow, which will pull far colder air into the building from outside that the candle cannot effectively heat. If you have a shelter, simply being inside it should keep it warm enough to not be dangerous as long as you stay dressed in warm clothes. Size of the room is irrelevant for the physics that are at play.
they dont want you to know it? have proof of that? dud they say "we dont want you to know this" doubtful.
It's not radian, that's a measure of angles like degrees.
Radon is a toxic radioactive gas, radiation is a transition of heat through infrared light, you aren't creating infrared light. Heat transfer through radiation takes place in form of electromagnetic waves mainly in the infrared region
This is a simple convection heater from a live flame. Burning animal fat and vegetable oil is not new.
You've got 1 candle power (0.981 candela) which is a measure of luminosity.
The First Law of Thermodynamics explains how the amount of energy gained from something cannot exceed the amount put in
A typical candle can generate around 80 watts of heat energy. However, the actual power output can vary depending on the size and composition of the candle, as well as environmental factors such as air flow and temperature
That's being generous… A heater worth anything is 800w+ usually in the kW range. So you'd need 100 of those things running at perfect efficiency to get the most basic heater… But you would get a fair bit of light out of 100 open flames. Until you burnt something down…
For light you'd do better with a solar panel, a battery and some LEDs. For heat burn wood, coal, oil in a much bigger contraption or accept life isn't as easy as you think…
Didn’t look like the picture 👎🏻🗑️🗑️🗑️
"Random rocks I found in the backyard". LMFAO
Is this a video on how long a quart mason jar candle will burn? 6 days. Wow! Thanks.
So 4 minutes and 20 seconds into this video he takes the terracotta plate of of the top of the plant pot with his bare hands. Surely that would be way too hot to touch after 3 days
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.
Done wick?
Don’t think candle companies are arsed what you make!
I don't know if that's just a plain test but if you put that system into your fireplace specially with glass doors on it most of that he's going to go straight up the chimney and not into your house
And that would be with a damper clothes cuz the damper is not airtight airtight
Not much heat or lite from these candles. May be able to heat up some coffee.
Where is the heat ?????
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.
lose the bg music
Why put the plate over top if it. What little heat there is, is not going anywhere and its blocking light
flawed experiment
Bad idea 90% of you heat will go up the chimney !!!
