Kerosene lamp incubator

[FARKESU]

Hi! I cannot get unbreakable supply of electricity here and I tried incubating I've been loosing my eggs. I learnt that there are lots of ways to make a kerosene lamp incubator which can be operated manually. Please who can describe to me how I can make one or send a link to me via my email address [email protected]. for guidance?

I have a book somewheres that shows different kerosene incubators and brooders used in the old days on farms and how they work . I'll see if I can find the info and post pics

Lehman's has new ones for sale.
I bought an antique one from Craigslist that I'm converting to electric. The antique ones and the one's at Lehmans used the kerosene lamp to heat water which circulated thru a large copper pipe in the top of the incubator. The thermostat controls the amount of flame thus how hot the water gets.
