Re: How To Keep House Warm Without Electricity: 15 Easy Tips
For less than 150 you can get a 55 gallon drum stove kit, pipe, and drum. I have one and a big ole stack of dead ash, just in case. I don’t burn wood but if I need this is cheap insurance.

Have multiple backups.

For me primary is generator, that can run furnace. In case of electric outage.

Second is LP heater and a good supply of propane. In case nat gas went down.

Wood just in case we ever have a widespread disaster like the Texas freeze.

Re: How To Keep House Warm Without Electricity: 15 Easy Tips
Years back we lost power on January 1st, it was in the low 20's & 30's outside. Even without a fireplace or any other heat source the house never went below 55 degrees. We were without heat for 7 days. One thing I would change is getting a gas stove instead of electric.

With the increases in electricity, gas and fuel oil it would probably help closing some rooms down through the winter. People need to get creative.

Sure woods great. If you can get it.
Chances are you will pay more for wood than gas. Then you still got to cut it. Pile it. Move it load it watch it clean it & be there for it

Seems most of you don't live where it's cold.

Try burning 20 cords of wood. And running short.

Yeah pussy's don't know what winter is.

If your poor & cold. Dig a hole & burry yourself.

Sincerely

Go fuck yourself this winter. Friction creates heat.

Prepare now... think no power..no heat. Now how do we stay warm?? Learn now how to do it and prepare.

DO NOT BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD.

 Quoting: Proud Trump Supporter


Wow that was pretty.. unhelpful. Seal up your house real good and now light a fire. Dress warm . Anything else captain obvious? And getting in a car? You mean the big largely uninsulated metal box with air flowing on all sides?

1) decide what space you are going to heat and hang sheets if needed to block off that space. ( yes a tent WILL work, and may be a good idea for sleeping.. but most tents people have won't allow you to stand up. If you have one - fine., but a sheet is surprisingly good at blocking air flow and therefore heat lost.

2) a traditional indoor wood stove is ideal, but failing that a small rocket cooking stove ( runs on twigs) would be better than candles. Or larger rocket stoves are easy to create with barrels or trashcans. Just Make sure you have a way to exhaust the smoke. Candles aren't going to cut it

3) People. People produce heat. The more people you have in a space, the warmer it will get. If you really can't stay warm get a bunch of people together. - Sure you can go to the Government approved "warming spaces" - Just hope no one poisons your food or water or rapes you ...

4) Get Solar electricity Yes it can be expensive. But an inverter all by itself will put off heat all day why it is operating ( I use my inverter exhaust to heat a greenhouse in the winter - and then shut it out another way in the summer) Plus you can generate actual electricity that you can use for pumping water and other tasks - or run your furnace.. The solar heaters they are talking about can be made with a couple sheets of plexiglass, a bunch of aluminum cans and some black paint. You just need a channel through the wall at the top and bottom that allows air to enter, get heated up by the sun and the hot cans and re-enter the home near the top. I passively heat my shop this way.

theres a you tube video, you take metal soda cans and cut about a third off the side, leaving the hole you drink from, and you paint them black, and make a board out of them for your window, and put the hole you cut facing out and the hole you drink from facing in, and the sun hits the black metal, and makes hot air or something like that.

Long term I think the problem will be the price of energy.

Here is how Paul Wheaton uses a lot less electricity. Heat yourself and not your whole house.

Also build a rocket mass heater to heat your house with just a 5 gallon bucket of sticks once or twice a day.

You dont need anything extra to heat your home.

Dig down into Earth.

If you live in a really cold ass winter climate (like in Canada).

Go to the lowest level of your house and dig down 8+ feet into the ground. Make a closed ended pipe, put into hole, put water into pipe, extend the piping outside of the hole and on top of the floor of your house. Wait a day or more. Heat from Earth will transfer heat into the pipe/water, and it will travel up and heat your house. All for free.

Dig deeper if you want more heat. If you go 20+ feet that should be enough to transfer enough heat to keep your house very comfortable.

Even better is black mesh/screen to capture the heat in a mini solar collector and duct the heat into your house. A large water tank can be used to store heat.

About 150 btu a square foot so do the math. A 100 square feet will continuiusly provide about 15,000 btu when the sun shines mid-day.

They are pretty much banned were I live. It’s stupid because I can burn trash and brush and make all kinds of smoke, but I can’t have a wood stove or fireplace that burns clean. I can go to a state park and have a fire, I can have a fire pit in my back yard, I can have a charcoal grill, but wood stoves and fire places inside are highly regulated.

Fucking liberal logic.

The fan isn't really needed if the space you are trying to heat is on the other side of the wall. But yeah - any closed box that allows sunlight into the box heat any heat sink material will result in a good amount of hot air rising out of the box.
