Kero World KW-24G 23,800 Btu Portable Indoor Kerosene Heater

I truly enjoy using this heater. This kerosene heater is essentially the same excellent design of the KeroSun heater that I had used in the 80's. It's easy to assemble, easy to operate, and keeps my family toasty warm on chilly days. We are using it in our Tumbleweed trailer while we build our permanent house. It doesn't take up much space but will heat the entire 8 x 24 ft trailer with sleeping loft. My only regret is that the price of kerosene is so high that we will be installing a wood-burning stove soon as the main heat source. But this does not mean that we will discontinue use of the kerosene heater. It's portability makes it a very practical heat source for the workshop (where it can be moved to whichever specific work area is currently in use). I highly recommend the Kero World kerosene heater for quality construction, zero problems, ease of use, high heat output, and portability.

Fairly straightforward to assemble, directions were clear. We had a cold snap and my furnace has been on the fritz so I couldn't trust it and bought one of these. Sure enough, coldest night of the year furnace finally dies. Popped this thing into the middle of my living room and it's been toasty warm. You can smell the kerosene but it's not bad. I'll put up with it for the comfort. I'm very glad I bought this. Once I get my furnace replaced this is going to heat up my workshop. Only problem is, I might need to open a window to prevent the shop from getting too warm. It seems to burn through about a gallon of kerosene every 16 hours or so at the setting I'm on... pretty efficient in my book. I don't think I'd want it for my primary heat source, as it does create some hotspots in your house (convection heat needs to be circulated)... but if you want an off-grid option that you can use in case of a heating crisis (no power, broken furnace, etc.) this is fantastic. Really happy with this purchase.

Heater works great for the shop use, igniter sux. Original lit once, then failed, replacement lit twice, then failed, we use a BBQ lighter now. Starts and stops create too much stench for in-house use. We tried to use it as backup heat when the furnace failed, but, it's too odoriferous, (wife used a whole inhaler of albuterol in one night), had to get radiant propane heaters.

This was a hassle to put together and the hand pump is garbage. Parts were just kind of sloppy BUT when it was finally done and lit it threw a lot of heat amd will do its job nicely. Easy to light and works quickly. I can't imagine needing it on for long periods of time if you are in something well insulated. Purchase a better oil pump though.

good quality

Shipped and received on time so the transition of ownership was perfect!! The performance was as advertised!! Very pleased with this item!!

First one didn't arrive, had to wait for the second one. Close to a two month wait. Top bit that sits on top, the little metal pieces that hold it up. One of them was busted off from the get-go. Would have been nice to have a small amount of instruction as to how long the wick should be out so it doesn't burn too quick
