Yes, we burn plain ole kerosene, the distinct odor always reminds me of my childhood when my grandfather would fill a clorox bottle (yep they used to be a pretty brown glass bottle ) with a dime's worth.. pumped it put of a square metal tank.
( telling my age ??)

I think today, no one is sure that they will have a job tomorrow.

And so many retirement plans have been wiped out, it is a scary world, all of it.

Laughing, as our memories on kerosene are the same, on the farm we cooked on wood and also kerosene cook stove, and as I recall it, the kerosene came in a tank, and we filled something smaller, as we did not go to town very often and at times did not have a car, so dad cut a barrel in half lengthwise and bolted it to the tractor tool bar and the kids stood up in the barrel, held on to the seat and away we went.

It must have been 15 or 20 miles to town.

LOL, I may still have a brown Clorox gallon jar around here.
