Simmering water in an old pan. it is a gas stove and i put the pan on a cast iron grill which also heats the room. can raise temp 10 degrees in thirtyminutes. How energy efficient is this? And what about the metal containers fitted over the back of radiators which are filled with water? I have put a container of water on top of the hall radiator whose heat heads straight up the stairway. Fan at the top of the house to come. I have just moved into an 18th and 19th century house.
