I'll take a look. This is really for if we have power cuts so we'd be without leccy to run a radiator.GeraldTheBonzai wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2026 12:45 pmCaught my attention....

As a top up / localised heater, it might make sense.

We have bio ethanol heaters X2 good for emergency use liquid is easy to store I store it in the shed in its original bottles got a selection of 1l bottles and 2l containers..
Yes it's not cheap but like anything prep related start with a couple of litres per month That said have you seen the price of paraffin
latest I saw in Boyes was £16 for 4L !!

There are some benefits to living in Norfolk
Back on topic.
I'd use propane or Bio-eth indoors.
