Homemade Air Heater. The Metal Can T-Shirt Heater. Easy DIY. Simple “rolled wick” heater. lots of heat. burns for hours (per fill-up). uses no electricity. good for any off-grid or grid down situation. (power outage, SHTF, camping) or everyday use. fueled by 70% isopropyl alcohol. burns smooth and clean. small cans burn 1.5-2hrs per fill up. large can burned for over 3hrs. minimal maintenance: just trim wick occasionally. great re-use of old cotton t-shirts. *note: the rolling together of the cotton strips allows the fuel to “wick up” evenly (for a long smooth burn). *just stuffing half a t-shirt in the can will produce an uneven burn and immediate singeing (blackening) of the wick.
