UNLIMITED Heat For Your Home | NO ELECTRIC NEEDED

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a DIY heater that requires no electricity, making it a perfect solution for heating your home during power outages or for boosting your existing heating system. These heaters are simple to assemble, cost-effective, and can be stored for emergencies. Follow the steps below to create your own heater safely and effectively.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start building the heater, gather all the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Ball Regular Mouth 32-Ounce Mason Jar with Lids
• J-B Weld 8271 KwikWeld
• High Temp 12"x12"x1/4" 6MM thickness Felt Carbon Fiber
• Klean-Strip GSL26 Denatured Alcohol (1-Gallon)
• Isopropyl Alcohol 70% (1-Gallon)
• Super Premium 99.9% Pure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
• Sondiko Butane Torch S400 Kitchen Torch Lighter
• 4PACK Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh

Make sure to have safety equipment like gloves and goggles as well.

Step 2: Prepare the Mason Jar

• Take the Mason jar and clean it thoroughly to remove any residue.
• Ensure the jar is dry before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Create the Heating Element

• Use the J-B Weld to attach the carbon fiber felt inside the Mason jar. This will act as the heater’s inner lining.
• Allow the adhesive to cure completely as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 4: Fill the Jar

• Carefully pour denatured alcohol into the jar, filling it about three quarters full.
• Make sure to avoid overfilling, as this can lead to spills when the jar is heated.

Step 5: Secure the Lid

• Place the lid on the Mason jar tightly. Ensure that it is sealed but not overly tight, allowing for some airflow during combustion.

Step 6: Ignite the Heater

• Using the butane torch, carefully ignite the alcohol inside the jar through a small opening. Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area and have safety equipment on hand.
• Allow the heater to burn; it should produce a significant amount of heat.

Step 7: Monitor Safety

• Always monitor the heater while it’s in use.
• Make sure it’s placed on a stable, non-flammable surface away from flammable materials.

Tips for Use

• For larger rooms, you can use multiple heaters simultaneously to increase warmth.
• Store the heaters in a cool, dry place, and check them periodically for any wear or damage.

Conclusion

Creating a DIY heater is an easy and economical solution for heating your home without electricity. By following the steps above, you can make a heater that can provide warmth during emergencies. Always prioritize safety and make sure you have the proper monitoring in place while using your heater.
