Be'jasus, seen a 30 led wand and that was blinding, but 160 led .......

Rik, the heat Pal replacement canister looks like it could be made from a large flat tin ( ? a steak and kidney pie tin , pie removed through smaller hole in top ..... perhaps packed with glass fibre and the vent a bit of wire mesh ?????

Toddy maybe I should play safe, I have one of those flat stoves, could the radiant heater addition be improvised out of a few old tins inserted inside one another and bolted +++ some perforations/ventilation holes drilled?

The old terracta pot idea sounds nice will go and search for that, maybe the steak and kidney tin idea and an old clay pot ontop.......

I don't want to sound like a grumpy old g*t but..

If that brick is damp you might have fragments spalling off explosively!

Also the greenhouse you have to take care:

I do wonder whether I could add a heat-resistant panel into my Argos tipi (which was sold as fireproofed) to allow a chimney to go through it.

Cheers,
Steve

The terracotta candle powered stove is available from this site,

The adaptor part for my stove fits securely to the burner so that it can't fall over. Very stable, very safe.

cheers,
Toddy

I thought about making one out of a plumbers heat proof mat from Focus or B and Q etc.

If you build one and are worried, you can get carbon monoxide detectors that beep like regular fire alarms now, but then again its more kit to be lugging about.
