We have a kerosene heater still in the box(and even kerosene). Although we probably should have read the directions before now. Another small propane heater and a propane stove. We’re tucked onto the back of a subdivision down a long, steep hill that would rival a lot in South Hills and when the power is lost we’re usually one of the last to be restored. Fortunately, when we got snowed in in 2011, we didn’t lose power and by the 4th day, all the neighbors got together and dug out the subdivision. ‘Just keeping our fingers crossed the ice doesn’t bring down any trees here.

If you think you will need the kero heater it might be a good idea to put some kero in the tank and let it soak for a few hours before you light it. The wick can be damaged otherwise...although I have started kero heaters without letting them soak much.

If you haven't used one before MAKE SURE YOU READ ABOUT SETTING THE FLAME HEIGHT!

In my house nothing said the beginning of the holidays like the smell of kerosene, LOL.
