Kerosene Stove Heater

[@clinchleatherwood1012]

I had too many beers last night and ordered this without doing any research. I'm glad to see it actually works and will be safe! haha!

[@danielspiteri9018]

I guilty of that on eBay. There should be a breathalyzer instead of a password.

[@gerrymiles4278]

I just got mine today from amazon and watched your review very insightful, the only wish you had done was showing how the wick gets replaced, very good video thanks for teaching me everything I need to do.

[@Odin-Must-Dy]

I just got one this week without any research and it turn out to good based on your video, l haven’t used it yet it’s for part of my prepping.mine came with 3 wicks which is said should last 6 to 9 years and the top part or chimney it’s called is adjustable, you can lower it and can actually use it to cook not just boil water

[@Beta250trials]

Hi bud yer its a great heater i use mine every winter i boil water on top for drinks and it great for water bottle's , cooking also its a great item for prepping good look brother

[@carltongadgettmannprice352]

I used several of these 9,000 btu camping keroseneheaters this past winter in my house. Several times I even used two of them at the same time, in the same area to increase the heat output. They are very basic and simply to use. If one understand and knows how to use a kerosene lamp or lantern, one will definitely understand how to use these heaters. There aren't any fancy ignitor switch and nor is there an emergency shut off switch but just a old school kerosene heater made for modern times. These modern kerosene heaters with all the modern electronics can also be used and operated the same way as these camping heaters by simply bypassing the electronics and operating them the old school way and they probably will last longer.

[@stevepelonero3778]

Where can I purchase one of these

[@xt7190]

But where can you buy spare wicks for it, any suggestions? I can't buy one of these, if it's useless once the wick goes!

[@carltongadgettmannprice352]

Amazon and Ebay both sell the wicks for these heaters.

[@christiantamminen8998]

Great Video Sir. thank you. I have one of these. When I bought it new it was great. But when I had to change the wick I've had a helluva job getting it to temperature without smoking. Great tips. thank you.

[@stevenbusman]

Thanks for the video. I was wanting to know how this model heater worked before buying one. you video was very descriptive and fully understanding of how it works.

[@jaapvander3787]

I have exactly the same one. that extra knob is fine, mine is broken on the inside. I now use a pipe wrench. It is an excellent heater.

[@Beta250trials]

It's a good heater just make sure the mesh is glowing that will give minimal fumes also have a carbon monoxide detector nearby

[@ruthsenglishchannel2078]

Brilliant: thank you. I was so nervous but now I’m confident 😊

[@Beta250trials]

One thing I've learned is run on highest setting that makes the mesh glow that will burn off almost all fumes never put diesel in it will ruin the wick kerosene or paraffin I'm using my heater as I text this

[@jazzsounds8159]

​@@Beta250trials I just bought one. How high should the wick be?

[@dundeeecroc]

@@jazzsounds8159 Just enough until the entire thing is glowing evenly. adjust accordingly.

[@waynesmith4612]

Its a thank you sir from me too. Just bought one of these, that.s one of the most helpful videos i have ever watched, Many thanks for saving me some time on set up.

[@Beta250trials]

Your welcome just remember to only put enough fuel in and let it burn out once in a while I'm only using good quality paraffin and I have excellent results thx

[@philipwelsh1862]

A very good video indeed wish they were all as informative = thanks

[@Beta250trials]

Thanks for the kind words it's greatly appreciated

[@mstanley97]

I was considering purchasing this on Amazon. Are you pleased with your heater? Thanks for this video. Could not find many in depth reviews on this product.

[@Beta250trials]

Hi yer it's ok I'd recommend using good quality paraffin also don't leave it unattended and have some ventilation the usual safety stuff I use mine as a backup heater just incase of a bad winter

[@aburaeese]

Excellent review. I was wondering if you had a strong smell of parrafin, also any headaches? My room was vented, but I still had these two issues, put me off the heater a little bit. I was thinking of using a different fuel, are there any cheap alternatives you can suggest? Thanks again

[@Anrirua]

Did you use C1 paraffin? If you use 28sec kerosene, you will get headaches. Far more sulphur and metals. ROLF (Reduced Odour) Tozane or C1 paraffin is what you want.

[@aburaeese]

@@Anrirua Hi, it didn't say C1 on the container. Company was Pre-Pac highest quality Paraffin, contains: kerosine (petroleum) sweetened, kerosine, unspecified 99%. BS 2869C1 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@stephennelson812]

Hi great detailed video thanks , just got one today and had a bit of nightmare with it the wick was wonky , that spring was loose in box but got it going now just concerned about tank getting hot is this normal I only dare run it for 15 mins any info would be appreciated cheers

[@Beta250trials]

hi bud yer my tank gets hot ish but its seem to be ok dont crank the wing nuts to tight the silicone gasket acts like a heat break i think

[@geraldgamble2178]

I’m not sure but I think a glove perfect fit like that would have got a OJ guilty ruling

Good review!

[@belowfray5251]

You do the same as i do. We figure it is hot but we touch it like we hope it isnt.

[@stevepelonero3778]

This looks like a nice kerosene heater what make an model is this

[@vernonbowling5136]

Have you tried putting a wood stove fan on the little heater to see if it would power the fan?

[@Beta250trials]

Hi yes it's great check out the bit at the end it has a stove fan on top also I boil a kettle and keep fill water bottles free fantastic

[@vernonbowling5136]

​@@Beta250trialsAh yes jolly good if I were a younger chap I would open a repair shop for kerosene heaters changing wick's and such, such a great need and demand for a service shop but none exist. Shame really. Thanks for the upload I had to stop midway the first time bloody battery went low. Cheers

[@carltongadgettmannprice352]

Northern Tool offers repair services for Kerosene heaters. Their service charge however is very expensive and cost more than what the Heater is worth. I'm thinking of opening up a repair service myself and my fees will be reasonable and affordable for repairs.

[@errolcollins7647]

I bought a brand new one never been used, when i did light mine I got a lot of black smoke and no matter how many times i try to correct it it still smokes setting off my smoke alarm, I seem to get high flames on one side even though I did move that handle left and right. I can smell the smoke and i get a lot of black soot on the burner.

[@Beta250trials]

Hi sorry to hear that, its hard to say why its doing that although when i first light my stove it does smoke for about 2 minutes all i can suggest is see if there is any damage in the round flu like on centre parts

[@errolcollins7647]

@@Beta250trials I have since learned you can buy smokeless fuel, here in the UK we call it paraffin, not sure what it is called elsewhere in the world but i did buy some and there is a vast improvement, very little smoke if any. my ceiling and walls were very sooty it took me hours to clean it up. I do love the heater now, i even used it to heat up a quick meal.

[@jackm6307]

Im lookng for a kerosene heater that wont run me out of a ten by twelve tent or small room, and its not an easy find. As I recall, the temperature on such heaters are either not at all or very minimally adjustable...is that a fact? Also, say this unit is 9,000 BTUs, and it is adjustable, how much adjustability do they have...even a wild guess would help. Also, regardless of all that, the most basic question will the unit as it stands bbe eay too much for the area mentioned? Yes, zi can open windows and doors, but thats hardly ideal. Thanks much for any input.

[@Beta250trials]

Not sure I would ask camping shops that would be the best

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

You're better off opening a window to avoid consuming all the air if you're too hot. I'd guess a 9,000 btu heater will be more than adequate with some ventilation and too hot without ventilation. Burn the heater at optimum flame and adjust ventilation accordingly. Gas station kero is K2, kinda dirty in close quarters. I'd go with K1 crystal clear kero in a tent. There's also a 10 wick stove called the "Fire Wheel" that might fit your needs, this one is designed to place a cooking pot on type and the wick setup is pretty forgiving. Surely, the btu output is lower and the stove has good reviews. 10 wicks might light concentrically, more readily than the 6 or 8 wick versions out there. The problem with all-cotton wicks is they burn down so I'm not sure this stove combustion temp is high enough to fully combust the vapors. I don't have 1st hand experience with any of the kero burners other than these center-draft types.

[@billyjames9861]

Having looked at a few different types of paraffin heatees it seems quite decent - 5.2L capacity, and per hour is using 0.25L - So about 16 to 17 hours - But if on low having mastered the wick height, it might be more. If using inside after buying from new, (And from what people have said), it's best to leaving it outside for the first burn so that all the factory solvents and paints are burned off - Then there's no smell. But so far the KERO 241 2.2Kw seems to be better with a 3.8 Litre Fuel Tank • Average 16hr burning time - Another site lists it at 3.2 Litre capacity, so not to sure which is correct. The wicks are probably ok for 2 or 3 winters - They need crunchy carbon removed from them about once a month to keep the flame working optimally.

[@jackm6307]

@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 Thanks for the detailed info. I agree and had considered the fact they need ventilation, and just using the window/door as a thermostat could work well. The heater you mentioned sounds interesting, and will look into it. I have a few of these very cheap china, 8 wick cookers, that burn surprisingly clean and put out a lot of heat. They seem a bit dangerous but aren't they all. Placed in a large pot might take care of that.

these heaters are extremely expensive when on 1ltr/4hrs Wood stove is the cheapest heating

[@UrbanExplorer614]

Only if you can get free wood and are not in a smoke free area. In the UK where the OP is from, Kerosene is roughly a third of the price of wood per KWH. That's also not taking efficiency into the equation, which is 100% for kerosene and 80% for wood burners. The is also the benefit of not having to install a chimney, and having to deal with the mess such as ash and flue cleaning.
