Title: The wick made all the difference....
Review: I've had the Kero-Heat for over 1 1/2 years and used both clear and red-dyed kerosene as a fuel source. Due to the rising cost of both, the red-dyed version clearly is the most economical but has a tendency to leave a residue in the wick and will reduce its lifespan.However, this in infinitely preferable to an attempt by me to use a quartz tubed heater as an alternative heat source. When I received my electric bill and saw that it tripled ($70 to $230), I unplugged it immediately.The bottom line is that you must use wicks that have a high cotton content (i.e., England) and not the OEM ones that come from Asia that look virtually identical. I tried both and the English ones not only burn better without an odor but are significantly hotter as well.I also used a catalytic disk above the burner to further reduce any odor.Both are available through Miles Stair's Wick Shop online.
