After reading this I removed the lid, 122 degrees. I pointed the lazer at the 100w bulb as much as I could see, 188 degrees dropping to 176 in 30 seconds. An electric stove element gets hotter without a pot on it. The cast iron lid and clay pot absorbs the heat without the light shining in your face.

"With 16 guage wire and 300watt bulbs......I would be concerned with wire temp.......just saying "

This was work related for 2 to 6 hours of an 8 hour shift. I used the same drop cord and extension cord for 26 years without issues.

"Im calling b to the total s on this..... just sayn..... and if the shoe fits wear it. Glad I aint got no feets sometime. "

Call it as you like, you always do. This isn't used to replace the central heat, just to aid it where a small heater would be used.

I compared it to the oil heater that I have in the kitchen. Not sure of how much electricity it uses in an hour. The pot heater is doing just as good, a light bulb doesn't use as much as the oil heater.
You just told us this isnt made to replace your central heat BUT your cousin used a 50 watt bulb and 3 of these and her heat barely even kicked on when it was below 10 and it almost cut her heating bill to zero. So which one is it??? Im confused now.
