Sorry for being so vague.

What I really meant to say was" please buy my heater or kill yourself with Bob's briquet heater."

That should be a little more clear.

In case you did'nt know, Boston Bob wrote an article on how to build a heater using a VW Bus aircleaner housing.

It is safe as it vents the fumes out thru a stove pipe. You need to be a little tin-snips savvy but it looks like an interesting set-up.

In case you are wealthy you can always get a Hotpod.
