Tea light tent heater.

Using tea light candles to heat your tent although it may seem like an unlikely solution tea light candles can prove to be a great heat source.

Use an end table that stands well under the height of your tent.

However this method will have the most success when used in a smaller tent. Overall it beats occasionally having to start the car to run the heater. My final parting words the flowerpot does not increase the amount of heat just its usefulness. Thus you actually would need fifty candles to heat the room as efficiently as a space heater instead of just four.

And make you feel a bit warmer as well. The tea lights run for over 3 5hrs and cost as little as 0 99 cents for a 20 count pack.
