Cool Un-Candle Thingies.

I assume those heaters are the equivalent to leaving an iron on, or one electric burner or similar in a small room for a long time. How big of a room is it in? Also, a lot of the reviews post temp differences over time, but never say what time they started/ended. If you start at 5 am and burn for 8 hours, the room is most likely hotter at the end of the time anyway because of day light alone. Glad to see you trying it at night.

It is a large room, with vaulted ceilings I want to make sure it does not shatter and stuff because of heat is why I am using Pyrex. I will probably do more trials in a bedroom for example after I don't get a catastrophic failure. I'm going to borrow a laser thermometer from work to do more stuff.

With the tea light , toward the ed of the burn and while the flame was still strong The outer pot was warm to the touch. With this setup the flame is burning longer (before having to change candles) and it is closer to the overhead ceramic pots.

The heat differences over time probably have something to do with the heat expending the absorbed moisture in the ceramic possibly?

What I am looking for is being able to hold my hands or body near it and feeling the radiant heat, I think that would be useful.

I'll post more data as I go, Right now is just the start to make sure it will safely burn in this configuration.
