Lmfao, I understand it’s fine, that’s why I know that heating up a pot with candles can be a useful source of heat. Your the moron since you’re arguing otherwise and your only argument is it’s “unsafe” you haven’t even used thermodynamics to make your point lmfao…. More heat is better than less I’m sorry your head is so far up your ass you can’t comprehend this.
You don’t need the bricks, and if you drop the pot on the candles it will snuff them… you say balanced on… I don’t think you understand the definition of that word. The candles are on a stable base. Knock the pot over and it snuffs the candles since it’s would cover them completely and is not flammable. Come one think Thai through just a little more and you would realize your scenario isn’t plausible here. Different candles and a flammable pot, yeah you have a little credibility to your point, but not much.
Why are both of you sleeping in an emergency…? One of you should be awake at all times to flag someone. You can’t ignore stuff you should already be doing because it makes your asinine scenario plausible lmfao.
We get it, you're functionally illiterate. Go back to grade 1 school.
Buddy is an alarmist, got called out, doubled down by arguing safety while claiming I need “understand basic thermodynamics”. The most basic thing that was up for discussion was survivability, and more heat gives you the best chance. It’s literally that simple.
Arguing anything else just shows you are illiterate because it’s about surviving, not it’s end feasibility.
Plus, having a large warm pot would allow multiple people to take advantage of the radiant heat, instead of one at a time hogging the flames and potentially burning themselves, because as buddy argued. People are stupid. So would they even know how to use a space blanket if people are stupid? See how stupid of an argument that can turn into being and why I didn’t bite?
But go off mate lmfao.
I've tried this before. The build in the picture is wasteful of energy and unsafe.
This is cheap to make, can be easily taken down, and if instead of tea candles bigger candles are used it can heat the pot enough to radiate some perceptible heat. It also makes for a good conversation starter.
But would I place all my bets on this? No, not really. It should be considered a dire last resort, for a very small room, in an extreme situation.
