In South Korea, Where I Was Stationed, This Is Common Practice. They Used A Charcoal Cylinder Produced From Coal Dust, About 8" Across & 12 " Deep, With 18 Separate Holes From Top To Bottom; Then Placed Inside Some Manner Of Unit Which Heated The Entire Floor ~~ To Me, I'd Think It To Be An Excellent Way To Heat A Room. ~~ 1st It Warms The Feet ~ Good Star For Comfort. ~ The Heat Rises And Gives Warmth To The Body. ~~ THEN To The Walls.... Providing Comfort To The People First, Then The Room Last, Therefore Reducing The Need For Fuel....... Make Any Sense?
