- masklinn 5y agoWhat is the "proper" name for these? Last time I looked for foot warmers all I got was electric bootstie things, or hotplates for foot. So I got a small radiant heater instead. Though I guess a microwavable grain bag on a normal footrest would also work.
- Someone 5y agoWikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_stove https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_stove) says its restricted to wooden ones with hot charcoal, but I would call them “Foot Stove” regardless of construction material or heat source.
- thom 5y agoNever seen one of these, but my dad used to have charcoal hand warmers similar to this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pocket-Hand-warmer-charcoal-including/dp/B002VKO19S https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pocket-Hand-warmer-charcoal-includi... We used to take them to football matches but eventually they became the sort of thing they'd confiscate cos fire and idiots don't mix.
