Kerosene lamp incubator

Any one heard of it. I plan on building one due to epileptic power supply. There isn't really much to go by on YouTube.

Ok. This is it. It's a 50 eggs capacity incubator that uses kerosene lamp as source of heat. I have done a test run to check if it can hold temperatures and it did successfully. It Held temperatures at between 37.5 and 38 degrees Celsius for 24hours. It's really amazing. I will be posting more pictures when I am able to source fertile eggs for incubation proper. Follow me. Thanks

Although I have no personal need for a kerosene incubator I do like anything DIY especially the oddball projects. I look forward to reading your updates.

How are you venting the emissions from the heater?
I know they use to incubate this way back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

There's a vent hole above for smoke emmisions and to prevent overheating. There's also 2 vent holes below to help keep the lamp burning.
