With the huge drop in barrel prices of oil I wondered if anyone is actually finding Kerosene or #1 diesel at a lowered price? So far the price appears to be...
In Dayton Tennessee whre i live, the price of kerosene has not wavered a penny. It's still $4 per gallon. They claim that they bought it at a high price in the...
Those are the best prices I have heard so far!! I still have about 15 gallons and am holding out till I am down to 5 gallon before I call to get prices. I...
Hi everyone, In knoxville tn, the only place for water clear is the farmers co-op, from what I am told this new batch for this winter was hard to come by but...
Yes Scott Kerosene is best used in batches that can be used up in 6 months or so for best quality. It slowly goes bad compared to say gasoline. I don't have...
Stopped by today for a calendar and this years pen. She said, It's up a little to $2.38 (for 150 gallons minimum, delivered). Regular unleaded was up to...
Okay everybody, hold onto your butts! I just got the price on #2 fuel oil from my local MFA dealer for today, and it's $1.90 a gallon, and that's NOT a typo! I...
I have a 1950s oil heater with a name plate that says made by Guelph Stove Co. I have a picture if interested or if I can post it I will. I have seen a...
Most pot burners prefer a lighter fuel than #2, but a few may tolerate it but will never run anywhere near as clean as a lighter fuel. I suggest you take a...
Hi All, We had a new member who mentioned wanting to find a stove that would operate on #2 fuel oil. I have literature here on a number of stoves, which I...
Larry and All, I believe you are correct about the old Quakers. The early ones had sleeve burners and were more tolerant of #2 fuel oil. I have only one Quaker...
Picked up a nice Kero-sun Radiant 36 heater at a sale today.. Looks like it has been used very little. It didn't come with instructions. Lucky for use Miles...
Larry, I have a Kero Sun Radiant (10?) can't think this early! I recently pulled it out of the bunkie at the lake in hopes of using it a bit more this winter....
Matt, Thanks for the advice.. Yes that flame is hard to see, but from what little chance I have had to look at the manual it seems that if all the upper parts...
Larry and all, Look for manuals on Google. I got us a not-very-used treadmill recently and the guy did not have the manual. I went on line and got it. Free....
Hi All, I have located a siegler 6040URS have not seen this model number yet does anyone have a pic? Seller wants a hundred for it, larry or norm maybe you...
Hi Larry, congratulations on the R-36 find! The older Kerosuns are great little heaters in general. If your igniter is not working, check the contacts that...
The model 36, as I recall is a good heater that works well and lasts a long time (as long as you don't run it dry). All wick type kerosene heaters are the...
Rob, Thanks for the great note.. Please feel free to add an album of your heater collection if you wish. You sure sound like your into the later heaters which...
Larry, While I, Like you, have more knowledge about Perfections and the pot and sleeve burner stoves, I seem to recall more reference to fibreglas wicks on the...
Larry, to access all of the internal stuff on a R-36 1) remove the glass chamber from above the burner and put it in safe place! 2) remove the wick adjuster...
Norm, to the best of my knowledge it doesn't matter what the material is. If you burn it dry, some of it goes up in flames, until there is no more wick left....
The wick is cotton at the bottom and fiberglass at the top. Very few are all cotton (like the Omni 15) and should not be "Dry-burned." You should "Dry burn"...
Rob, Thanks for the detailed report on the heater disassemble. Even with the manual having some real life "tips" is always a plus. Now I know what others feel...
Larry, Before you disassemble it, you probably should check the igniter its self. Frequently the element is broken or the flashlight bulb like contacts are not...
