Description
Here's a simple source of heat, light and cooking with no electricity? I wanted to see how much useful heat I could get from an incredibly simple setup made with inexpensive, easy-to-find materials.
In this video I'll build it, test the temperature, and see what it can actually do. Whether you're interested in emergency preparedness, camping, off-grid living, DIY projects, or simply having another option during a power outage, this is one experiment you may want to see.
Watch until the temperature test — the result surprised me.
