You might want to mention when you put fuel in it the first time that the wick needs time (1 or 2 hours) to soak up the kerosene before lighting the heater. Otherwise you can damage the wick. Also, I’ve been told to release the bottom lever as soon as you see that the fire is lit, because you will damage the auto start mechanism. You can also start it with a match if the auto start quits working or your batteries go dead. Make sure the ring of screened metal is centered and fully seated before closing the door to lessen the chances of getting black smoke. Hope this was helpful.
Thank you for these tips. I'm getting one of these today and it's my 1st time using one so thank you so much
As someone doing my preliminary research into kerosene heaters, I thank you for this valuable advice
I just bought mine and lit it right after assembly do you think it is a big issue?
@@SeemeonMars I think it just burns the wick up faster, but I’m only guessing.
heard that to avoid any odor in your home use only K1 kerosene and light it outside - bring it in to heat the home and when time to extinguish - take it outside to do so.
I’ve owned the large model of this (uses 2 D cell batteries) as a backup heater for 20 years. In this time, the battery cover broke off, but that’s the only thing that’s gone wrong. I use it inside my house with a window cracked open a bit to let gasses escape. Typically only needed for a couple hours at a time up to 2 weeks once during an ice storm.
I came here to find out if you have to let gas escape on the heater and you said you left a window cracked. I remember this model and base models used in the 80’s at friend’s n family’s homes. I don’t recall cracking a window but I was a kid. The only neg part I recall is it smelled when it ran out of gas. But it wasn’t an issue, it was filled back up and smell went away. I’ve been thinking about the blackouts in Ukraine and it seems that these would be ideal. The other option is buying solar panals but Im not too familiar with them. A gas furnace shouldn’t use much elec, but I have doubts a small panel could run electric furnace overnight. 1.9 galons for 12-14hrs is phenomenal. Seems darn cheap. Definitely doable.
I know your post is a year old, but if you don’t mind elaborating on anything I said, plz do.
I bought a co2/smoke detector approx 15yrs ago and keep it plugged in bout 10’ from the gas furnace and 10’ from gas stove. I do the tests and it still works. There was an incident one night where I felt awful weird n couldn’t breathe correctly n called 911. The ambo came and did co2 test on my finger (just like the oxygen saturation test) and my co2 was 6. They had never seen that. They tested each other and they were all zero, checked me again and I was at 6. So they called the fire dept n made my dog and I get out, (it was like 15degrees), and they ran oxygen mask at full capacity. I was 39 n healthy. 🙂. They had gotten my co2 down to near zero, I decided I didn’t need to go to hospital since I felt normal and house was safe. The EMS did an excellent job.
I followed up with cardiologist. He decided it must have been hypersensitivity to a muscle relaxer called Tizanidine. Ehhh🤷🏻♀️ better to be safe than sorry. 😊

@@msavina9129 So far, my electricity has only gone out for up to about 3 hours in the summer and haven’t had to use this kerosene heater in past year. It would be very useful wherever kerosene is available, but that fuel’s cost has skyrocketed. Used to be around $1 per gallon 20 years ago. Today it’s $14 per gallon at Lowe’s. So the cost makes it almost prohibitive. A place near me sold it out of a gas pump cheaper but haven’t looked recently.
A solar system, charges batteries, not run a furnace. The batteries then, run the furnace once the electricity passes from the battery through an inverter, then from the inverter to the furnace. The furnace would need to be totally disconnected from the main power before running the inverter. You never want main power and inverter on at the same time while connected to both. Gasoline is much cheaper than kerosine, so a gas powered generator may make more sense than a kerosine heater. Just make sure you only put fresh gas in the generator. Gas is only good for about a month. Then let the generator run out of gas before storing it away again.

Wow. Thanks for your wealth of knowledge. $14. Geez.
This is an amazing update that help me make choice to order a heater from your link.
I thank you for all the kind words. We also thank you for using our link and any money made will go to kids and their video classes.
Used my Dura Heat all last Winter and love it.Been using Kerosene Heaters over 20 years and found the Best and Fastest way to fill it up is with the Battery operated pump that sells for 15.00.I can fill my Heater up in 60 seconds or less its that fast.Just thought I would pass it on.Good Video and Thanks!!
Great update....really glad I made the decision to get this for extra heat!!!
Thank you. We also thank you for taking time to watch our videos. We wish you a happy 2018.
Thanks man! I really appreciated how many hours you get out of 1 tank. Very helpful
Great video and thanks for leaving the link as we ordered one today.
Thank you for the demo. Just bought one at a garage sale.
Thanks for watching. It's still working great. Just pulled it out this past weekend to see if everything is ready for winter and it started right up.
Great video bro! I think I've made my decision on what I'm going to do for heating ☺️❤️, stay safe my friend and keep those videos coming!!! ❤️
Thanks for all the details it helped me out.
Glade to hear we helped someone out. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful! My 1st Time using one
Glade I was able to help. We thank you for watching our video and taking time to comment.
hell i just fill my heater while lit inside my house, Nice XMAS smell after and kerosene is not to dangerous.
Thank you for this review. I just got a Dura Heat kerosene heater at HomeDepot this week for emergencies this winter. You did a great job in explaining this THANK YOU. Nice to see a simple to the point explanation of a product.
Thanks for watching. Still learning how to do videos.
Great video! I found a used one on Craigslist in my area. I think I'll see if it's still available. Thanks!
Thank you for a great video.. God bless you.. 😇
God bless and thanks for watching.
Very helpful, thank you.
Glade you like the video. Have a great day.
Nice video
We also use this heater it's very nice unit and don't seem to use as much kerosene as other units.
I have learned this is a unit used my many people. It's a great unit to have and keep warm.
Good video
Just something to add here I see you having a little trouble with the wick snapping back the reason for that is your table is very movable and it's setting off the Earthquake sensor that's designed to trip it if it gets shaken.also to properly extinguish it hold the wick adjuster knob tightly then push the button and lower the wick slowly the mechanism will last a lot longer.jim
Ty just what I needed to know
You don't have to wait to light it when it's new, if you first pour a little fluid around the top edge of the wick instead of waiting for it to soak up fluid from the bottom. That's what I did when I changed the wick in my old one and it makes it ready light right away.
That sure is a nice heater. No smell and keep you warm.
Yes sir.
I agree this is the best heater and no smell. I would never use anything else.
I'm glade you like it. Keep warm.
@@DelsLawnCare Thanks this information we 're serach Security heater in the house ,May I ask a few questions.1 poisoned by carbon monoxide if long times in the house .
2-How to keep air fresh, prevention has not good
Walmart sells this exact same heater for $96, it’s just branded under another name. It’s exactly the same unit but black in color. Thanks for the video, can’t wait to try my heater.
You can't bu this heater for 96.00 anywhere on the planet! You are a liar!
@@frankroper3274 dude not lying at all…. Was shopping around Lowes and Home Depot just learning about Kerosene heaters because I just left California (good riddance) and live where it snows now. So I was with wife on her Wal-Mart trip and decided to see what they had. Much to my surprise they had it. Different brand name on it, black instead of white, but identical in every aspect, control knob, door etc. I have the receipt and it’s still in the box.
Try about 200 today
@@Angelo-fo8de yup you gotta buy them when they put them up n clearance at end of winter
Thankyou
I’m getting a smell with K1 kerosene even with the wick all the way up and flame above the burner .50-1.0” for good combustion. It’s a brand new unit and I’ve gone through half a tank of K1 kerosene. I also tried KLEAN-STRIP GKKH99991 and that smelled also. It takes 8+ hours to get the smell out of my 2 car garage every time I run it. Carbon monoxide detector in the garage not going off. Do I have a defective Dura heat unit? I though these were supposed to NOT smell?
Flame is probably too high or too low.
Help! After filling my drop in tank, fuel won't transfer to burning unit of my duraglo kerosene heater. Is it vapor locked, or clogged up? I'm freezing!
good video
big like and sub.
Thank you.
Best drunk review I've seen yet
Do you have to hold the adjuster at max a second (a pause) to ensure the ratchet holds when you raise the wick fully before lighting? Is that normal?
No.... Something could be loose or misaligned....I have a different heater and I don't have that problem.... peace.
Thanks! Informative vid. I'm thinking of buying this sort of thing, for when electrick is out. I'm still worrying about the products of open fire w/o a chimney... Im not a chemical engineer, but there _has_ to be something coming out of it ( in addition to heat)?
I just got mine like 4 days ago. I've been using it for the last 2 days. It has almost no odor when it's burning and it only smells a little bit when you turn it off. Other than that it seems very safe. It is important to read the entire instruction manual from cover to cover before you start it for the first time (only like 12 pages or less, takes about 15 minutes to read). I bought Kero-klean or something like that which is just slightly more expensive than the K1 kerosene but it really has virtually no odor at all. I was kind of worried because I have cats but now that I've used it for like 20 hours I feel that it is very safe. The most important thing is to just keep an eye on the flame and move the wick up or down to keep the flame from being to high or too low. It should be about 1/2 inch above the burner. Once it's been burning for an hour or so you really don't need to adjust the flame but never leave it unattended and just check it once in a while.
To answer your question more directly, the heater burns with incredible efficiency so there is really no byproduct besides the heat. (provided you maintain the proper flame height).
Nice review, Del. My family bought this heater back when I was a teen and we had a ice storm power outage. Do you notice a difference when adding that hollyberry additive?
If you add whole bottle to 5 gallons yes. I have also put Fragrance Oil on top of my heaters to make garage smell good.
Ok, thanks!
can you clarify. in video you said 1/2 oz to 5 gallons but in comment above you said whole bottle which is 8 oz. thanks
Hi Del, guess I should have rephrased my question. should I put in a whole bottle to 5 gallons or half an oz. I will be picking up my heater saturday but did not by the additive yet. i guess there are instructions on the bottle but was wondering the best ratio you use for best results. thanks..
The bottle says 1/2 oz to 5 gallons of fuel but I notice that it didn't smell as much if you use the whole bottle it gives little stronger smell and I kinda like the good smell in garage. Sorry I was not as clean in the video.
Any opinions on the Dura heat model over or vs the Dyna Glo model?
How hot does it get a small room ? I need my bedroom at 120 to kill off those bedbugs
If you left a normal size room like 12feet by 12 feet i'm guessing within one to two hours it would be 120 degrees. My garage is insulated 21 feet by 21 feet and if it's 10 degrees out side I can get garage to 80 degrees in three hours. At most I think within three hours you could get your room to 120 degrees. Remind you that if you have a fan in your room you might want to take blades and glass down because I know someone who did this and melted these items by putting heater below them.
What about the fumes if you use it in the living room. Can they harm you. Great review.
They claim with K1 it's safe. I have been using mine for couple years now and still alive. I know that don't mean much. I can't prove this is safe and use at your own risk.
i have a new unit can I try it out with about a half a gallon.
Would having an air purifier suffice vs cracking a window?
I used to light it out side then bring it in side
When you pull the trigger that ignites and raises the mechanism inside. How do you get that mechanism to stay in place? On mine it appears to be loose. I have tried to align it and re-tighten it. But nothing seems to work. Or is it supposed to be loose?
Mine is loose as well. I'm not 100% sure if that's way it should be but nothing in manual telling you to tighten so I left it.
@@DelsLawnCare I greatly appreciate the fast reply and all the info you provided in your video. I thought when I moved it. I made it loose. My father was saying it was a manufacturing defect. Good to know. You just earned a new sub 👍
@@felixm3384 thank you.
Is there any type of combustion do I have to keep a window open any risk of carbon monoxide?
I use mine in my garage for about 9 hours everyday. They say it's safe for indoor use.
When you buy one read the directions!! Mine states to have a window cracked open when using it in the house along with a carbon monoxide detector
👍
I just got one BNIB for $35 !!!
We got a dura-glo and the ignition switch is totally different and I pressed it and nothing happened
Maybe a different model. Without seeing it I am not sure.
WARNING! For those of us in the US - THESE ARE NOT RELIABLE FOR DYED KEROSENE! I have used kerosene space heaters going on two decades - I've had several of these "23k" heaters with different brands - same heater, different labels. They clog up if you use dyed kerosene. There is even a warning on the replacement wicks. "Clear" kerosene is increasingly difficult to find, and theoretically more expensive than dyed.
You can get about one tankful of performance out of these heaters before you get the bad odor, and diminished flame. No amount of cleaning, alcohol, etc., will fix this problem.
Therefore, I standardized on old-fashioned "flame spreader" heaters primarily "Perfection" and "Aladdin." The difference, is that the older heaters do NOT have fiberglass wicks. They're all-cotton. The dyed kerosene problem originates at the intersection between the cotton in the tank, and the fiberglass - basically, the dye leaches out and gums-up the wick.
Another problem with kerosene heaters in general, is that you get exactly ONE "speed." You get full-blast or nothing. The 23k heaters are 23,000 BTU which is TOO MUCH for most rooms. My "Big Bertha" heater is a Toyostove DC-100 which is only 18,000 BTU, and used only a couple times per-year on days that get below -20F - or in the event of a power outage.
The Perfection heaters are around 11,000-13,000 BTU, and the Aladdin heaters are 5,000-8,000 BTU which are much more reasonable for a single room.
There IS a modern heater series ( though no longer made ) that can accept all-cotton ( #2 ) wicks - the Omni 15, Moonlighter, and Rainbow. They're all smaller heaters about 5,000 BTU and can take the chill off a room.
We run 4 space heaters during the winter to augment the main pellet stove. The New England winters are much easier to deal with.
The directions on mine a modern fiberglass wick heater says dyed fuel is fine from the pump but can sometimes have water in it. Water will separate and stink to bottom of can. Only pump fuel from top of can and use a fuel filter funnel (Mr. Funnel) brand works. Few bucks off Amazon. Don't use any old fuel either of any kind cause condensation will form and you'll have the water problem.
Long winded and NOT useful at all.
Mrs Jones is totally intolerant of kerosene smell, in the garage for me it's perfect
Dennis Jones depends how cold she gets.
If you use this in your home, do you need to vent it to the outside?
@@DelsLawnCare there needs to be at least an inch gap in a window where the heater is located
So you're heating a room with a window open?
@@bramblebop1904 I use mine indoors with no windows open, however, my house is 100 years old so there are plenty of cracks and drafts around my doors and windows. You only need to crack open a window about 1 inch if you are in a newer home that is very tightly insulated. For most houses there is enough fresh air coming in through the cracks and crevices.
How come all these different manufacturers look the same?
I'm sure they all are the same just putting different names on them. I have seen so many that look same and work same.
Can you add a kerosene during a use?
I add while using all the time. I have never had an issue.
Will this work with 1k kerosene?
Yes
Is this safe to breath?
Yes.
Hi sir where to buy the kerosene please
Tractorsupply. Com
Sunoco seeks kerosene at the pump. Can that be used?
Yes you can you pump station Kerosene…. Just make sure it’s the K1 variety
WHAT IS THE MODEL NUMBER?
Truth is I have no clue I bought this in 2018 and no longer have to give you anymore info.
Sure-cans are great.
But who uses fuel from a gas station? Filthy, sooty mess.
Use 1K Klean-Fuel or similar if you want to use indoors. If you don't want the place to reek of kerosene that is.
Almost all kerosene sold at pump stations these days is in fact K1 kerosene. A few stations still also sell the standard kerosene. K1 from a pump station sells for around $5 a gallon…. Half the price of stores like Home Depot, etc
It's N0T a "gas"gauge, nor; a "gas" can .....
Please give me the model number of the unit. Thanks.
Truth is I have no clue. I bought this in 2018 and no longer have unit. We now use a pellet stove for heat.
I have it . Smells so bad
2 gallons every 11 to 14 hours? That can get expensive! Wouldn't it be better to run a heater fan at 1500 watts?
If it would work yes. But when it's zero to 20 degrees it won't heat the whole garage. A 1500 watt heater is more for a small bedroom or under a desk.
A 1500 watt heater only puts out 5000 btu's. This kerosene heater puts out 23,500 btu's. So it is like having more than four and almost five of the 1500 watt electric heaters. Also, this is better in the sense that it will work in a power outage.
i have a FANCO warm air series 22, its a DAMN PIGGY for fuel... bout as bad as your dels heater. its A PIGGY...
why do you need a surecan ? just buy a $1 plastic funnel
To avoid spills of kerosene in an enclosed space, I would assume.
Some people aren't bums and have the money to buy things that make life easy
Did your parents kick you out of their house yet?
Lol I have lived on my own sense I was 16 and retired at age of 29. Maybe you need to watch my retirement videos so you can get a clue.
I could barely stomach the kerosene video so no thanks.
@@johnnylawrence internet trolling at its finest 💔🖕💔🖕💔
It's pretty rude, go feed off your Daddy ☺️
I bet you wouldn't say that to his face, definitely a tough guy behind the screen!
Not sure how saying anything "to someone's face" adds to or subtracts from the validity of an argument (to say nothing of the realistic degree of physical threat emanating from an apoplectic-sounding overweight man).
Weak.
Anyway.... lol. Let us move on.
Great video Del…. Some people don’t have a clue and are just miserable in their own lives
Good video
