Kerosene
portable
heaters have
become popular heating units of a home because it's
cheaper than electricity in some parts of the country.
However, don't ever use kerosene heaters as a
main heat source.
As
you know kerosene is a gas and when gas burns
it needs oxygen. As your karosene heater burns
the oxygen is then replaced by many different gases
including kerosene carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide,
and nitrogen dioxide just to name a few. What that really
means is you need to be careful and provide proper ventilation.
It's wise to open a nearby window or door to properly
ventilate your room.
Now
that we have your attention let me first explain that
my inlaws use a kerosene convection heater every time the
power is out in their area. They follow the kerosene
heater safety rules like keeping it out of the main
traffic flow, keep it at least 3 ft away from walls
or any combustible, and they crack the window open.

We've
used our kerosene portable heater downstairs in the
winter when we want to work down there. The only thing
we are very careful of is adding the proper kerosene
heater fuel. Kerosene comes in two types:
1-K kerosene
fuel
and 2-K kerosene fuel.
The
difference is in the amount of sulfur it contains. The
1-K has less and that is the recommended fuel for our
kerosene radiant heater. We never use any
other type of fuel in this unit and we've never had
problems. Sure the kerosene heater wick
will go out on us, but that's an easy fix, especially
for the heat it can produce.
Below
is a list of "some" of the kerosene portable heaters
you can find. The ones we found have the higher
ratings from customers who have purchased this portable
ceramic heaters.
