Wow! Definitely the best video on kerosene heater. A lot of info just in one video. I just finished watching 4 other videos. Wasted my time if you ask me. I wish I would have found this video first! Thank you for taking the time to film this...
I just got a dura heat model that is the exact same thing as this but in white and i live in a camper and sometimes i shut my power off to save money and this thing in the winter is a life saver
Great video! Instead of adding the pine additive and waiting half an hour, I would have shaken the container with the mixture. I don't think it requires waiting... If in 10 minutes the room reaches a good temperature, then what do you do? Do you turn off the heater? Because if not, you will cook yourself. Very clear explanations!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the tip, next mix I will shake the container. If it gets too hot I lower it to the lowest setting. Or I just crack a window. Hasn't gotten too hot where I needed to crack the window. But I'm usually in the shop 4 or 6 hours tops. And walking in and out between that time. Thanks for watching.🙂👍
Do you have to put this near a door that remains cracked for ventilation? Or can the house remain completely closed up (to keep all of the heat in)? I know I will need a battery operated carbon monoxide detector, but should I ‘expect’ fumes to become an issue?
This is a great question. If no specifications are listed in the manufacturer's literature, one rule of thumb is to provide. 1 square inch of window opening for each 1,000 BTUs of the heater rating. For example, If it's a 10,000 BTU heater may require opening an outside window 10 square inches to provide the necessary air intake. As the kerosene heater is on, there are no fumes. The kerosene heater in my video heats up my work shop 10 times faster than my space heater. The only time I smell fumes is only when I shut it off in the workshop. But they do recommend you should carry it outside and shut it off due to that reason. Hope I answered your question. Thank you for watching...
Hi! We have used kerosene stoves for a long time in a country house whose doors and windows were not exactly "airtight." It also had several rooms. Therefore, we never had the need to ventilate. A different situation would be that of a small apartment with sealed openings. I hope this clarifies your doubts.

I agree, it's probably the best purchase I made all year. Makes my workshop comfortable to work in within 10 minutes. Thanks for watching.
