A pressure lamp (eg a Tilley or the rather better Vapalux, originally produced for the British Army) usually generates enough heat for a small tent. Otherwise,...
These commercial heaters seem expensive for just a little tin bashing. I've wondered whether there might be a safe and effective way of fixing screw a meths...
