most kerosene heaters run diesel fuel just fine.

true but it smells a little more.

on both you can add in scents, if the heater is in a shop or garage.

(assuming not using a kerosene heater in your house)

Planning on using it inside. IS that not a good idea? My breaker keeps tripping so a plug in won't work.

it isn't that bad, but it smells. It can be a little smokey at start-up and you will want to crack a few windows for ventilation.

I only use my kerosene heaters in my garage or outside at parties. I prefer electric inside.
You can use kerosene inside though and I have. But make sure you have ventilation.

This would be a bad idea. Even the best burners can have incomplete combustion and you could have carbon monoxide issues. Get a CO detector before you do this.

not is it is an efficient heater. We have one that you can't smell either unless it's just starting up or shutting down. Forced air hearers.

Go to your nearest airport, scale the fence....and see what happens.
Obviously kidding. HD or Lowes or any mom and pop hardware.

Bought a kerosene heater from Home Depot, for inside. Bought a gallon of kerosene alternative that doesn't have any smell.

The directions with the heater say that no window cracking is necessary if you live in a regular house; i.e., one that has regular ventilation and isn't not sealed like in some apartments.

Salathe Oil in harvey sells kerosene in 5 gallon pales, $5.35 a gallon. That's half the price of Home Depot.

Thats still crazy for Kerosene. I think Jet A is cheaper. lol
