Kerosene hearers were a big thing in the 1970s, back when kerosene was cheap.

I’ve still got my 40,000 btu Japanese heater.

“Kerosene hearers were a big thing in the 1970s, back when kerosene was cheap.”

Just be careful with it. Propane, Natural Gas, and Butane* will not result in Carbon Monoxide being produced when burned, unless Oxygen levels are way down. Gasoline, Diesel, Kerosene, Jet Fuel, Heating Oil, and wood will always produce Carbon Monoxide when burned. That’s why propane powered fork lifts can be used indoors, but not gasoline At least that’s my understanding from my survivalist days.

*we burned some of my excess Butane during our Texas blackout...just cracked a window, and no problem.

I know but many bought the farm from carbon monoxide poisoning running them indoors.
