🕯️ A candle gives both light and heat—not overly much of either. But there's another benefit, since heat rises. When the candle is low to the floor, it sets up a convection current which mixes the temperature zones from floor to ceiling.

The boat is always several degrees cooler at the floor. (The heat-powered fan on the wood stove points sideways, not down.)

Often, I'm comfy but with chilly feet.
