Agreed there is not much energy in a few tea lights but this makes the most of anything that is available by getting a nice convection going &#8211; it like the difference between a radiant one bar fire and a convection heater &#8211; more air movement &#8211; fewer cold spots. In the winter I have it down to one side of my desk on the floor on a steel tray &#8211; not a copy of PBO.<\/p>\n<p>Blimey there are some dozy people on this planet<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; but there are also some pretty nice people and I have had some lovely emails &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>If it makes any difference to anyone at all I am not earning a brass farthing from this vid as I am not in adsense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Note from TMS editor: I post this video because I have tested the efficacy of the Flower Pot Heater in my own office\/apartment.
