candle light heat
in my never ending quest to keep this place warm without breaking the bank, I have discovered candle power. this is a convection space heater powered by tea lights. I have one with 4 tea lights, and one with 2 running right now. I can feel the little bit of warmth from the one on my desktop with 4. the thermostat is set to 68, but I am getting 70 in the picture and it just went up to 71.

google tea light heater to get the whole low down. basically it is a small ceramic/terracotta pot without any holes, covered by a larger similar pot with one hole. the base isn't important, it just needs to hold everything above the candles. the electrical boxes that I am using work well and let a little light out too.

the smaller pot gets really hot, and the bigger pot stays only warm, and it causes heat to come out of the hole of the bigger pot. I can feel it when I put my hand over it. I am hoping that both of these will help keep the church warmer when winter hits. it is ok when it is a full house and really cold out, body heat does the trick.

when it is just a few people, I just can't get it warm without blasting electric space heaters. I got a bunch of tea lights at walmart for like a nickel each. they burn for 4 hours each. it is a little cheaper than gas and a lot cheaper than electric. it is good to heat up a personal space without trying to heat everything.

the thermometer just hit 72. I realize that it is sitting fairly close to the candles, but it is about how close I am too. it doesn't have to heat the whole room. I can keep the thermostat low and keep it warm around me with these.
