Any Kerosene Heater Veterans?

[seclark]

used one for years, until we installed an unvented propane heater on the wall and didn't need the kerosene anymore. it was very handy one time when we had an ice storm and lost power for 10 days.

i loaned it to a guy to "try out", and the ****er moved away and never gave it back to me.

this was about 15 years ago...probably better now than they were then. can't remember the brand name of it.

Did you have any concerns with venelation from the fuel burning unvented?

nah...it stunk for a few minutes right after lighting it, but it went away. i thought it was pretty safe. had 3 kids playing around it while it was lit. they've grown up and seem to still be alive.

hell, i liked it, but we went w/the unvented propane wall mount because the wife was working for a propane company. we were getting a good deal on the heaters and the propane.
they both(kerosene & propane) beat the hell out of that electric ceiling heat that was in the old farmhouse when we bought it.

for the life of me, i can't remember what brand it was...if i knew where that shitbird moved to, i'd call his ass up and ask him. he and his wife used it in an old store they had for a few years, then packed up and moved.
