Cheap heater!

[RWalls]

Been looking this year since last year my little propane heater didn't work well during the ice storm and my furnace crapping out.
Today on crags list I got a 23,000 BTU kerosene furnace in the box for $40! Good prep for the coming ebola outbreak.

I took it out and assembled it, of course I had to get two new C batteries as the ones that came with it were dead.

That is a good deal

Just remember to keep a good fresh air supply going as this is an unvented heater and CO will build up in a tightly closed area

I was thinking of it being used in my great room/dining room/kitchen which is about 600 sq ft with a vaulted ceiling. I hope thats a good enough area. My propane heater has a low oxygen cut-off but nothing fancy on this one.

I used to have one just like it. Worked good. Just have to get used to the smell of the kerosene.

sounds like a great deal.

From what I've read online this model is one of the most sought after because there's almost no odor. I took it apart last night and there's a brand-new wick in there. Going to fire it up tonight and do an odor test.

We have one my BIL gave us some years ago,he used it for his main heat for 2 years.we bought some kind of wick treatment stuff from wallyworld to pour in with new 1k.burned it off and emptied the tank,sitting for shtf or power outage.these are nice heaters.leave a window cracked though.evidently the wicks get waxed up and smoke really bad if you dont treat them.

Are you talking about that stuff that smells like pine?

Even in a good sized room, you still want to have fresh air circulation. Kero is still a fossil fuel and creates deadly gasses. Check the batteries in your CO detector.
