Our current early plans involve cooking outside as much as possible using a combination of kelly kettle for hot drinks, hot water bottles & washing up and a rocket stove, using hayboxes (already a big part of our cooking).

Blankets, layered clothes & hot water bottles are great for heating ourselves but I still haven't come up with a good way to heat a whole room without a chimney. I have a frontier stove (it gets used for re-enactment mostly and the odd big camping group in a bell tent) but I can't just plumb it out of a window.

Any ideas would be great, I'd also love to hear what other people are doing to combat this

Cant you get portable catalytic heaters ???
