Old school Kerosene heater.

[@nieciecain3833]

I have one an I love my old school stuff period

[@Ces1um]

Parents had one of these when I was a kid. It was my job to fill that tank with kerosene! I don’t remember any smell from it at all, but man don’t keep the doors closed and spend a long time in the same room as it. The carbon monoxide levels used to make us so sleepy- lucky we didn’t die in retrospect. Fine for a whole house or to heat a level- just don’t box yourself up into the same room

[@maryv7495]

I bought this same model 20 or more years ago. I only use it in power outages, maybe every other year. It’s a champ. I don’t use fresh kerosene. It’s a couple of years old, burns great. Changed the wick one time after getting some bad kero. Not fun but doable.

[@heathreeves6327]

I had one of those growing up. Highly recommend

[@NoNo-oz2em]

I have the identical one in the video! I use it to heat my camper van in the winter and have to say it works great.

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Yea we use it for all types of Camping as well. Great little unit.

[@akadog6319]

is the heat setting adjustable?

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Yes. It has an adjustment nob that allows you to control the heat output. Basically it allows you to control how much wick is burning wich raises or lowers the heat output.

[@hangblague]

I've got one labelled Keymar. Nearly identical, but with a glass cylinder around the element.

[@nickwing6194]

Awesome channel. I am looking for more of your videos. I am looking at your camper project

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@nickwing6194]

@@lundriganoutdoors8687 you are welcome! Thank you for your videos. Where did you get your clear containers for the kerosene?

[@frankroper3274]

I have one I just got back working after maybe 12 year or so! Anybody tells you it is easy to replace a wick in these heaters can kiss my posterior! I tried and tried and tried for years! Finally I bought a wick this year and got it to work! I watched youtube videos and they were little help in this case! I have a Dyna Glo! I don't know what I was doing wrong but finally I got it! It looks rough and it is 20 years old but it works great! These heaters last and last...recommend them for emergency...everybody needs a kerosene heater and especially the kind you can cook on since if no power with a kero heater you have some heat...a way to cook food and some little bit of light! I'm ready! Are you?

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Awesome. I haven't replaced the wick yet but I added a second heater to my inventory. Perfect rig for emergency.

[@frankroper3274]

@@lundriganoutdoors8687 Some the wicks are easy as pie with the pins but I am talking the Dyna Glo...I took it apart and it wa 12 years before I got it working this year and it works very well...been sitting in the yard and some rust but it throws out the heat witjh a new wick...I never gave up and I got it!!

[@hamishr2367]

This is an awesome heater. .I found this exact one in a garage sale for 20$. Swapped out the wick and I puts out a good bit of heat

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

You will be super happy to have it if you ever need it. Great item to have for "just in case"

[@loreneduponty4583]

Where did you find a wick I live in Youngstown Ohio and I can't find the wick anywhere

[@J_Trask]

@@loreneduponty4583 If you search ‘kerosene heater wicks’ along with your model number, results will pop up. You could also check out ‘Miles’ Wick Shop.

[@otisarmyalso]

Best brand got mine used $20 used 3yr just put new wick kero has at least 2x more heat per gallon than propane. Never use diesel jp1=k1. S681U Equator II used a 3X wick per manual turn knob fully left pull out to release wick same mechanism per manual

[@timt9510]

Awesome, my wife's dad has one of these Aladdin heaters.

[@wemcal]

Great video and wonderful heater

[@Cyndia1969]

I have the same heater! It heats very well❤

[@sagebias2251]

The one I got from sears looks suspiciously similar but with different branding.

[@J_Trask]

I wish I could find one from Sears!

[@henriknielsen9674]

I get about 2 days of heat from one tank like that, about 13-15 hours of constant heat

[@ericg2167]

Don't use diesel fuel. Not designed for diesel. I tried it. Big mistake. Can't stay lit. Poor flame. Summer diesel I used. Flushed it out with kerosene and it would only stay lit with the cover off. Smoke, yes but I'm burning my poor judgment away outdoors in the summer. Right now actually 35 C today. With that crap concoction it's staying lit, glass globe off, with a nice breeze. Can I just poor all that crap down the drain? Yes but I can't bring myself to doing that so I'll burn it all off and lesson learned. They are great heaters if used properly I have to add. Just don't use alternate fuels.

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Thank you. I've seen conflictin info with no real hands on testing. I will take your advice.

[@ericg2167]

@@lundriganoutdoors8687 My advice is to stick to the fuel it was made for. Maybe diesel needs a bit more air. I don't know. Didn't work at all for me. Now I'm paying the price. My knowledge is not sacred but pass it on. Lol. Don't recommend using cheaper diesel in your kerosene heater. Fail.

[@robertnorrell9073]

thanks for the info, Ive got some old diesel i was considering trying. On your recommendation I will not do that Wishing you a great day my friend Stay warm

[@dougglaus9256]

I’ve got the exact same model in my shop right now. I love the flickering flame. Only thing is that kerosene is oh my gosh expensive in my area. I guess it’s oh my gosh expensive everywhere.

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Yea it is expensive here as well. Pretty efficient though I have found. Its our plan to heat a section of our house through a black-out. We are up to a week now as far as fuel storage goes. That would cover most recoverable emergencies.

[@jknels]

Can you find kerosene at the pump? It is about half the price of the packeged fuel that you buy at the store. I buy mine at SPEEDWAY, Just take my container from teh stove. It hold 1 gallon.

[@J_Trask]

The smaller 10,000 btu kero heaters burn at a slower rate compared to the big 24k btu units. If you buy two 5-gal containers, you’ll be able to heat for about a week with no electricity. It’s an investment that you can keep on-hand that will be there when you finally need it. It’s also a good idea to keep plenty of bottled water and non-perishable food in rotation so that you’ve got something to keep you from depending on others to take care of you during an emergency.

[@Im_Still_LightSpeedLayne]

I just got one at the pawn shop. Changed the wick put karosene in the tank and it’s not fukn filling the main tank from the removable one. Don’t know if the nipple is bad or what but I’m devastated

[@spoetryqueen]

Can you do a video on changing the wick

[@garypatton3637]

That's awfully expensive for kerosene. Just by at the pump for $3 more or less per gallon. I usually go by 9 gallons for about 35 bucks. That's an absolutely beautiful heater though I would love to have some older model like that. Hard to find those nowadays in my area northern New York.

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

100% agree with buying the fuel in bulk, I have started since I made the video. Here in Canada there seems to be a few older ones available from time to time. So many different models and types.

[@hazel555]

The instruction manuals from my multiple units say that pump kerosene is a different grade from 1-K, which is the only fuel that should be used to prevent operational/wick issues.

[@palangnar3588]

@@lundriganoutdoors8687 where do you buy yours in Bulk in Canada, what type of stores/gas station ?

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

I have found it at one station in my city,Its a Husky station. However many people have told me its a less pure form of kerosene and may lead to wicking issues.

[@cagednstatic]

I have the temp right 7. Do the wicks pull out or just replace

[@evatorres5288]

I'm in Texas where can I buy the steel can to fill it?

[@napalmholocaust9093]

The tank is removable because it is meant to be filled outside.

[@MM-uj4th]

....can you show how to light it with a match...when the ignition on won't work ? thank you

[@lundriganoutdoors8687]

Update video on the heater in progress

[@Kd8OUR]

That's how we did it as kids, lift with the knob or handle and light the wick. Didn't realize till I set it up as an adult the autolight just needed batteries and a new coil that comes with the wick.

[@AngelaTreglown]

And where the h#@! Do the batteries go for the ignition? Appreciate any help. I subscribed. What you put out there is nteresting to me. Thanks

[@racer67]

I have a similar one its a sanyo japan model i just changed the wick and ignitor in yesturday the batteries are to give the ignitor power,the ignitor looks like a small light bulb like whats in an older cars interior map light but it dont have the glass around the wire the wire is exposed so wen u hit the button the wire gets red hot and touches the wick n starts the flame 🔥

[@racer67]

Now that i think about it i should of made a detailed video on how to take it apart clean it put a new wick in it and ignitor n batteries in it cus i just did all of that yesturday on my garage table. And there are alot of videos on utube people changing the wicks but they dont show everything involved.
