A couple weeks ago, a post was made about an epic fail, in a back up heat source.

I posted my "epic fail," with failure of my backup kerosene heater being able to light. Due to the wick not advancing far enough up, in order to light. [V]

Turns out, if you keep crancking the knob beyond where you think it stops. It comes up just fine.

Feeling very Stoopid now. [:0]

Kerosene heater working just fine. [:D]




Okay, give me your best shot. [^]

    Temperature went from 60 to 66 in the Great room, (large living room/dining room) going 3 stories up into a steep A-frame apex in about 30-45 min. (A difficult to heat area.)

    Woo-hoo!!



    Plus I've got apprx. 45-55 gal of kerosene, that I can now put to use. [:D]

    You'd be most welcome Sir.

    I've already got a gas furnace out in my 30x40 outbuilding. Just waiting to be installed in my basement. Heat pumps suck in below 20 temps. (As I'm sure you know.). -Ken-

    Absolutely right because play duh doesn't exist (check post subject) and it is an alternative to a coloring book in your safe place.[:D]

    Something is wrong with the crank, on my Kerosene heater.

    Not working right. Does not want to fully shut off. Does not want to fully go into light mode.

    It is most distressing.

    I was however, appreciating the extra heat, with the below zero temps. last pm and today. (And tonight.)
