added heater advice needed
I have a coal burner 'fake' fire which has a blow heater underneath.
I know this is an expensive form of heating and also its very hard on my sjogrens eyes. Anyone know of the same idea but cheaper sort and not a blow heater? I use this heater in the very cold. Also i have noticed because my place is smaller, and tiny actually, its also colder being a one storey unit but all heat on makes for very dry air and i feel claustophobic and unwell. I do need AIR very badly, any suggestionns on this too, gratefully received. xminnie pal |

Hi Minnie pal,
If you place a bowl or a jug (with a wide neck) of water near to (but not dangerously so) the heat source then as it evaporates with the heat it adds a touch of moisture to the air and your eyes won't dry out and your throat won't be as scratchy (experience my only qualification here). Hope that helps. |

The first suggestion is a good one.I am an energy & environmental engineer.Anything that produces instant heat is expensive.The cheapest alternative is the old gas bottle heaters.My grandad still to this day attaches a glass of water to the front of the grill.This i later found out increases the humidity and the evaporating water oxidises the air.No more stuffy or dry air.Problem is getting a hand with a heavy bottle of gas.
