Keeping warm in the winter

If you live in the cold, dark wilderness of Alaska, or somewhere slightly more subtropical that still occasionally gets cold sometimes, you are probably interested in keeping warm when it does get cold.

I used to live in an upstairs bedroom of a largely unheated house, with only a coil heater to keep myself warm. Unfortunately, it was one of those heaters that can only heat effectively if there is no ventilation, and only a small room at that. My room was quite large, and for some reason the window couldn’t close properly. The coil heater simply couldn’t provide enough heat to cope with the incoming cold air. I needed something more hardcore - I dare say comfort glow heaters would have been up to the task.

In the past, I’ve found gas heaters get a room toasty warm, and typically are more cost effective than other types of heaters.

Gas heaters are good for outdoor heating also. They are a common site in outdoor seating areas in restaurants in my area.
