Hi,
This is a clever variation on the flower pot heaters. My guess is about 1000 to 1500 btu's.
flower pot heater variation
I have seen this "invention" mentioned on another website.
Conclusion, no real "usable" heat would be given off by this method. Basically all this idea does is slow down the dissipation of the heat and traps the heat within the flower pots instead of the heat going all to the ceiling. Basically is is falsely giving you the feeling of heat.
Winter brings out the cheapskates for sure, there is no free lunch (or heat). RVs do not have the best insulation (something like R3 at best) and therefore if you are planning to camp in freezing weather you should be prepared (or at least willing) to spend some money on heat.
A fool and his life are soon "departed" when playing with unvented heating devices and throw in candles for good measure...
Just another great way to get a "honorable" mention in the Darwin Awards...
