Hey brother, watching this in 2023. Just bought my home a year and a half ago and propane is killing me financially. Just bought a kerosene heater and am totally new to this. Super super helpful and realistically probably a life saver. Thank you for this informative video. Still help people like me 11 years later.

​@@helenfisler-parker9005 you'll get used to it. I usually light my heater outside and then bring it in once it gets going. Make sure your wick isn't turned up to high. Some people put a little water in a pot and set it on top the heater.

Hey Craig...I used to use a kerosene heater every winter when I lived in Pennsylvania for like 8 years- loved them!...It really comes in handy and helps cut heating costs big time in comparison with electric prices. The best thing to do in my experience , is to fill it up outside, and also light it outside so it "burns off" the initial kerosene on the wick, and the smell wont linger in your home as well....great video bud ^5

I just read the entire owners manual, but they made the process so dang complicated that I ended up feeling even less comfortable trying to start it than I did before reading them. Lol. Thank goodness for you tube! This video was exactly what I needed! Simple, easy to follow and thorough. Honestly, the manufacturers should put a link to this video directly on the heating unit instead of their own useless website. Lol. Thanks again!

So keep your eyes peeled at yard sales. The one he's showing in the video is over $300 at Home Hardware and Canadian Tire. I love it when I get a good deal!!

This unit works very well kzbin.infoUgkxl2o1MQU4aMgmFk_cMqer4nH2ptpDEM6h Considering the price I paid for this, I didn't have high expectations, but now after using it, I consider this is a well designed heater. Do be aware that doing the dry burn on the wick as recommended (or at least every two tanks) is absolutely necessary to avoid an unclean burn, fortunately it's easy enough to do. I'm burning dyed K1 kerosene and do a dry burn every two tanks and this is working great. This unit will heat a little over the 500 square feet that it is rated for depending on the temperature. On days it isn't bitter cold this heater will do a fair amount more. This makes an excellent emergency heat source, and also in my situation, it is a little more efficient than the electric heat in the teen temps and below.

We just were expecting a huge snow fall. My brother called to have me get ready with the heater. I told him NO, I'd rather freeze to death than try that thing. BUT your video changed my mind ENTIRELY!! It gave me the confidence to try it. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am using it right now. It is working just as you said. And just to tell you - I reviewed your video 3 times before trying it (that's how scared I was). YOU ARE THE BEST!

He did not want to give it back and paid me for it. Now I have another one, and this video tells me exactly what to do. And I am gonna get it out, assemble it, test it and get it ready.

I light mine in the house but I carry it out before I turn it off. There is some odor when igniting, but it's not bad at all. But when you turn it off, it puts out a lot of fumes. Probably won't hurt you but it's pretty strong, for me anyways.

I have been running these kero heaters for 34 years now. I turn them on and use it when it goes 35 degrees and below. Turn off and on outside. Dry burn wick regularly. Use 1-K kerosene only. I think i changed the wick after 10 years. This unit saved me thousands and thousands over electric heat. Always crack a widow at all times. and CO detector close. Excellent well presented video.

Your tip on lighting and extinguishing the heater outside is true as can be from my experience. I ran one of these things for years in a cabin, Whenever we would show up in the pick up truck with 1st thing we do is pull the heater out on the tailgate and fire it up. By time we had the truck unpacked the heater was up to temperature than we would carry it inside.

Memorex88 here. I've had a kerosene heater for over 20 years now and it saved us during the 1998 ice storm which left us with no power or heat for 2 weeks! It's true that the kerosene stays stable for many years as I had to clean years of dust off the unit but it lit up and burned no problem with the years old fluid that was in there. Glad I own one, just in case!

For anyone who anticipates using one of these at some point in your life, this is 15 minutes well spent. Here's a couple of ideas that will make your wife happier: (1) some Big Box stores offer a liquid substance (in small bottles) that you can mix in with the kerosene to make it smell better - some places offer several different fragrances, and (2) when you light it, do it outdoors, let it set for a little bit, like he says, then bring it inside. When you turn it off, turn it off outdoors, and bring it in a few minutes later.

I didn't know kerosene was so stable and clean burning, and the heaters are actually affordable. And you can cook on them?! Major plus! I learned a lot today. Thanks again!

We just picked up a kerosene heater nearly identical to yours for emergency use in the event of power outage and to keep me warm while working in my unheated metal building. I've never used one before, so it was nice to see the process in action before attempting it myself.

I live in Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico. If temperatures dip far below freezing, there will be a couple deaths, the elderly, even then. I had wondered what people do in the Northern states after a Winter Blizzard knocks out power for days at a time. Not everyone has a fireplace or wood burning stove. It is scary to think that you and your family could freeze to death during those times. This kerosene heater is a very good option. -Liked-

It is now the end of April and I was wondering how to store my Kerosun for the winter. I am now confident that I don't have to burn off the little remaining kerosene and will just cover for dust and store in my garage. Thanks very much for the peace of mind knowing how to handle this issue.

Thank you so much. I live in a cold climate and have issues with my oil boiler. I borrowed from a friend and was unsuccessful in lighting it. Your instruction are awesome - you answered the most important questions - of why or why not to do certain things.

Nice video. I just used this heater for the last 2 days. We lost power from this blizzard for 2 1/2 days. I dug it out from the basement for the first time in 10 years and worked nice.

This looks like a real good solution. During an ice storm here in Arkansas there were so many people that spend hundreds of dollars over the course of 6 days no power...I mean as high as $700 to keep fueling thirsty generators that were running heaters that probably didn't put out as much heat as this heater. Thanks for the very informative video.

I recently bought a kerosene heater similar to the one demonstrated. It was my best decision: Dec 23-24 we had a "bomb cyclone" hit the Great Lakes area. Just before that, my furnace went out. Well, the snow and wind blew and the temp went down to -17 degrees. Meanwhile, my heater gave out 23 K BTUs to keep me warm.

Good explanation of how to use this kind of heater. I had to laugh when you talked at the beginning about the power outage in 2003. We're in upper NY state, had just replaced our old fuse box with circuit breakers and had the electric company come out to reconnect the line. They did....and tested it....no power. Then the technician got on his cell phone to find out what was going on. I heard him say "what? all of this area? what? the whole northeast...what, Canada, too????" I thought we were the "straw that broke the camel's back" one too many demands on the power lines!!!!! Funny memory.
