costs too much to run these on kerosene or diesel, like $6.5 /gl in CA. The newer ones are great. you can order most all parts for the outdated Reddy heaters and the like. my latest problem is when I place the top cover on its stars to die out. I took it to the junker and bought a really nice one with bells and whistles.
@@kelseyweber8280 Just a little alcohol on a Q-tip will clean the photo cell. If it ever goes out and you don't have time to get a new one, all you have to do is cut the wires and attach them together and it will work temporarily until you can install a new one.
The flame sensor uses the exact same photoreceptor as the day/night lights. Just a different size. The new one I got actually had a small one in the housing.
