Its essence is simple as an orange: the room on a steel cable is lowered metal brazier with burning coals which is a few hours heats the air in the cellar, thus expelling it through the ventilation system street.

Brazier is easy to build from an old metal bucket, making a few small holes in its bottom and walls. You can use a chisel and hammer or, where brutality - acute piece of rebar and stone.

Attention! Roaster should hang above the floor or standing on a support trellis. From time to time I recommend to check the status of the cellar, but in no case not to go down into the - the carbon monoxide concentration in the room to warm up can be dangerous not only for the fungus, but also for humans.
