The “sandal,” a cozy heating table with a long history in Central Asia, is becoming popular in modern Uzbekistan amid the energy crisis in the country. The sandal is a low wooden table covered with a blanket and has a source of heat underneath, typically from charcoal.

I could imagine those things were fairly safe back in the days when houses or Jurts werent as perfectly sealed off like a modern building and the CO could escape through the sealing.
Nowadays I wouldnt try it, to much of a risk
Uhh. Okay. So the idea is to have old people fall asleep around a table and get their legs burned? I guess I’m just to stupid to understand how this is practical.
This is a nudge. Be prepared ⚜️
We do the same things in the states, only we use sheet rock and insulation in the walls and attic, and a central HVAC unit.
The Usbeks should export these to the RF.
I'd be curious to know more about the cause of energy crisis.
How can your country lack the infrastructure for proper power?
A lot of useful heat/energy lost during the burning of the wood. Outside!. Maybe it has a cultural value for some, but it is not practical or efficient at all. Close to stupid, if you disregard culture.
Humans invented stoves and ovens for a reason. 😉 Stone&clay ovens… if metal is too rare/expensive….
In Bulgaria we have another method- the brick. One needs a normal, dense brick. You put it on the wooden stove and when its hot, wrap it in some cloth. Its used to warm your feet when you're sleeping and the stove goes out.
The coals produce carbon monoxide, this would work, but should be vented somehow. Love to all!
Smart they really are compared to us Americans
Risking fire & CO hazard for a bit warmth in feet & legs? I'll pass.
Why on earth is this being presented as something positive. They are poisoning themselves. 🙁
This doesn't address the reason why there is a crisis in the first place? Your neighbor Russia has plenty of gas and oil. What is your government doing with your tax money?🤔🤔
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous thing to play with. If the coal still burns at any level it will produce deadly carbon monoxide.
In very old houses they had tile stove thats morw efficient. And gives more warm feeling like 2-3 hours.
Jesus Christ how many people died from CO2 poisoning
And Next the EU will be using Candles for lighting !
This is so dumb on so many levels
In my country we used to have little wooden boxes you put coals in, called voetenstoof. They are very sturdy, efficent quite save and mobile, you can just carry them with you and many surive to this day used as a little stool. You can get an antique one for like 20 euros so many still float around.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱!
The Japanese have a similar traditional solution
if you burn the wood in a stove indoors you dont have to wear a hat indoors
This reminds me of the Kotatsu whish is use in Japan
A bicycle with a electric motor that you pedal will run a furnace to keep you warm this idea that they have works with ash and the barrel of frebrezze covers the odor. Bomb shells work as a insulator they should pick up there shells from MOTHER RUSSIA
DISCOUNT STORE 😂😂😂😂
INCREDIBLE.
I wonder what secrets our English ancestors had
for staying warm in those huts.
Weird to name the table for warning the feet the same exact thing as the footwear that’s meant to cool the feet.
These kinds of tables are super common in Japan.
Global warming…
Very nice. Thank you!
R3minda me of the Japanese Komatsu
Like a Japanese kotatsu table
Omg these happy peasant propaganda videos are disgusting
We are almost all dependent on burning biomass whether fresh like the wood here or old like oil and gas. In every case we burn it faster than it renews and in so doing add CO2 to the atmosphere. What a dilemma.
Why don't they just make an oven?
All this work, time and energy, wasted.
Ukrainians even make them out of old steel rims…
Ovens are simple and old af
And why do these people not have natural gas anymore? Why isn't that question being asked? Well, it's because morons are driving them back to the 10th century. It's plain stupid.
Borat Sagdyev😅
so much carbon monoxide released with these setups. i visited china at the end of winter 15 years ago and got such bad headaches and felt ill that I was happier being cold. these are horrible setups for your brain and lung health.
Yip…dad heated a brick during the evening before bedtime… wrapped it in a bit of old blanket and put it near our feet in bed…..Ireland
For anyone that doesn't understand EXACTLY what they are doing and how they are doing it. DON'T! The risk of death from Carbon Monoxide or fire is very real.
