I've been brainstorming ways to take the chill off the head. As with most boats, the head door remains closed most of the time and thus doesn't get the normal flow of air that might heat it. The result is a chilling wake-me-up when you sit on the seat early in the morning.
Most all of the conventional heating options like propane/diesel wall mounted heaters are FAR too big to work for such a small space. What do y'all do to keep your head water from freezing?
I was contemplating the use of tea or other candles that are plentiful and cheap. I've taken the chill of many a tent with a candle and the total space to be heated seems similar. My concerns would be: burning the candle in an enclosure that would prevent ANY chance of it burning down the boat while I sleep, and possible soot issues that sometimes crop up when the wick gets too long.
Any thoughts or better ideas?
