I discussed this open flame heat inside small spaces. Any open flame or fire inside of a home that is not vented is flirting with danger. I’d encourage the readers using fuel to cook, heat or heat hot water inside of a home, RV, tent of living space to find out all you can about CO. A silent and deadly killer.

I've done this method of heating with my wool blanket while doing winter survival excursions -- very effective. Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention. That’s a fantastic tip.

If outside and you have a candle and a poncho, sit on something insulating like a pack. Put the poncho over you and light the candle. Hold it in your lap while keeping the poncho away from your chest. It will warm you right up. Something a little off track but still with a candle.

You're localizing the heat and slowing its release into the surroundings. The heat may be in a better place (near the floor and your feet) compared to if it rises to the ceiling though.

It works great. It actually does give off heat. .

I bet you wish you thought of it first. I'll have to give it to you at least you stated where you gleaned the info. There is a much better way to make a candle heater however.
