I built a self standing hot tub with wood and tarp, how could I get a heater to heat this water safely? Any suggestions, ideas?

My son’s room gets no heat. There is a gas outlet in there, but gas wall heaters are 3 times as costly as electric. So, I bought an electric wall heater, but the electric ones do not come with any brackets. I need to mount this to a wall made of cinder blocks and am afraid of what might happen if I mount it improperly.

I have a paraffin lamp (a hurricane lamp, to be precise) and am interested in using it for heat when I don’t need it for light. I know paraffin heaters exist, and from pictures they largely look like paraffin lamps with cylindrical metal tubes surrounding the flame, with lots of holes in the metal. I assume the flame heats the metal, which then radiates the heat outwards.

My intention is to convert my lantern into a heater by constructing a metal cylinder which can be used to replace the lantern glass. What I really want to know, from anyone who has any experience of this sort of thing, is am I on the right track, and any advice on the details. Eg what metal is best, what’s the best size/density of holes in it, what diameter should the cylinder be, etc…

Any and all help/advice appreciated!
