Heating A Room For 8p A Day

  1. Basically, with a room full of carbon monoxide when he goes to sleep he won't wake up again. The constant burning of the candle consumes oxygen, and inside the room (after some hours) there won't be much left!!

    1. I had no idea candles are so dangerous...surely the room isn't that airtight...gulp

  2. Assuming the room is not very airtight - which would minimize the need for heat - my interest is in the relative ecological impact of this method. You're burning all that wax, which has to add pollution to the air. On the other hand, you're presumably _not_ using some electrical or propane heat source which also pollutes. So, which is better? If this is relatively green, then I'd definitely use this method in my laundry room rather than buying a space heater.
