Dura Heat DH2304S Portable Kerosene Heater Review and How-to Operate 

That is awesome!

Thanks, John! I'm sure once I get the garage repaired it will make it nice and toasty. Since I recorded this I've added a tarp over the opening to the shed portion and it warms up much faster. I like the idea of the rubber feet.

Thanks for sharing

Yep, you are dead on regarding the handle. Thanks for watching!

its available on amazon: amzn.to/3XDfzk1 thanks for watching!

Right on!

I'm sure product safety required the cage. It gets hot as hell. I seriously considered propane, like one of the Buddy heaters, but I'd used kerosene in the past and new it would work. I'm sure propane is just as good. I get about 8 hours run time on a tank of fuel. It seems pretty efficient. Thanks for watching!

Any time!

Thanks, Jacob!

Thanks, John!

Is it working? I would think it might smell a little more like diesel, but I'm with you if it works.

@@trbowlin, it works I don't notice any particularly strong diesel smells.

I'm just prepared to have to replace the wick sooner than expected but that's still cheaper than the K1 heater kerosene. 16$ a gallon where I live is outrageous. Feels like highway robbery.

It should warm up the garage. The amount of carbon monoxide produced is very small. Opening them occasionally should be just fine. Thanks for watching!

Yes, the going price is about $8 per gallon. I found that Tractor Supply has a good price on it. There are also a couple stations in my area that sell k-1 at the pump, again about $8 a gallon.

That's a shame. Keep an eye on the gas stations near you. The one near my house sells K1 from pumps. Yesterday it was $4.25 (As of Feb 20, 2022 Indianapolis). I would never use the K1 sold in stores unless I was stuck. That stuff cost a fortune.

@@saintmichael2759 Our Skagit Farm Supply (Cenex) Co-Op here used to carry kerosene in a fuel pump, but after the U.S. totally screwed the pooch (IMHO) with motor fuel, Skagit replaced the kero with alcohol-free gasoline at a higher price than E-15 mandated here in WA.

When your kerosene heater smokes and smells, it could be due to several reasons. Here are some common issues and solutions: Dirty Wick: If the wick in your kerosene heater is dirty or clogged, it can produce excess smoke and a strong odor. To fix this, you should clean or replace the wick following the manufacturer's instructions. Improper Fuel: Using old or contaminated kerosene can lead to smoke and odors. Ensure that you are using clean and fresh kerosene fuel that is suitable for your heater. Airflow: Poor airflow can cause incomplete combustion, resulting in smoke and odors. Make sure there is proper ventilation in the room where the heater is used. Ensure that the heater's air intake and exhaust are not blocked. Flame Height: Adjust the flame height according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A flame that is too high or too low can lead to issues. Carbon Buildup: Over time, carbon can build up on the burner and other components, affecting performance. Regularly clean the burner and other parts as per the manufacturer's instructions. Maintenance: Kerosene heaters require regular maintenance. Check for any damaged or worn-out parts and replace them as needed. Proper Ignition: Ensure that the heater is ignited correctly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for starting and operating the heater. Fuel Quality: Ensure that you are using high-quality kerosene that is suitable for indoor heating appliances. Low-quality or contaminated kerosene can cause issues. Check for Leaks: Inspect the fuel tank and fuel lines for any leaks or damage. Leaking kerosene can result in strong odors and a hazardous situation. Hope this helps. TR
