What is the cheapest and least energy consuming device or method to heat a room or tent?
April 19, 2010 Wood Camping Stove
One thing I dont understand is there are a gazillion ways to produce heat yet heat is still very expensive. Heat can be produced from solar, electricity, fire, oil, gas, geothermal, friction, movement, crystal, radiation, bacteria, pressure, and even uranium! And that doesnt include the many ways we have of trapping, and transfering heat. Is it really that hard to find a cheap form of heating? I just wanted to point that out. Now on with the question …
I notice most portable heaters consume 750 watts low setting, 1500+ watts for a higher setting. This is very energy consuming. ARE THERE ANY DEVICES OUT THERE THAT CAN HEAT A ROOM USING 100 WATTS OF ELECTRICITY? If an element is capable of giving off free heat, why cant we find the next "hottest" thing?
Its the 21st century and it seems we’re paying more than what they used for heating thousands of years ago. Wood was free back then. Oil, gas, and electricity is not. Without using oil and gas which burning any garbage will give you the same output, where are we with electrical heating? IS 1000 WATTS THE BEST WE HAVE DONE IN HEATING A SIMPLE ROOM? Any other alternatives out there? Like a portable wood stove? I suppose this question should be in regards to camping. What is the best way to heat a tent for example? Could you light a fire outside and have a fan blow in the heat? Or how about a portable wood stove? If theres an electric heater that can be powered using solar panels, then thats what I would like to find out. Thanks guys ===

I wonder if you could make a rocket stove safe for inside a tent. Probably not, but it’s a thought. Look it up and see what you come up with.
