whatever happened to kerosene heaters?
A friend of mine would fire his up and the garage was an oven within an hour. Heat leak my ass.
The modern ones have catalysts that burn off the bad things and they barely smell. If you are worried about smell, turn it off, and walk it out side immediately.
Bogus, thanks for the kick in the rear. I went down the basement and dug out the Kerosun heater. Went out to the shed found the empty blue jug. Drove around for two days looking for K-1 (wow that stuff is expensive these days). I cleaned the mantle and stoked it up a little while ago. Once I burned off the initial gunk, it seems to be burning nice and clean. I'll see how well it heats that garage. It was still pretty cold out there this morning, but we are supposed to get up in the mid to high 40s or even 50s today.
