I bought my perfection kerosene heater at a yard sale for something like $12.00 bucks ! It was brand new and the lady selling it didn't even know what it was . I haven't used it yet but something tells me I will this winter after the corona virus economic depression kicks in . If it does I'll be ready . Thanks for your video it's great !
I love seeing a heater/stove that does not have alcohol fuel shooting through the top of your stove and sooting up your pot. I love that you can heat up something without worrying about ruining your pot, and the food inside the pot.
I just picked up a 525m for 50 bucks. I knew what I wanted for back up heat. These lol guys put out an insane amount of heat for what they are. I burn k-1 or off road diesel.. pull burner out to fill, pop back in n fire stove up outside for 2 mins. Never let run dry or fill hot period. Should be run all the way up even though it's tempting to turn it down. These heated most of the Homes in the old days.... They made kitchen stoves also. Make sure to get a cotton wick, not fiberglass. Do not knock it over. Best lil stove for emergency heat or a cabin. I heated a 14x70 mobile home all winter in 2015 in MD... Never let us Down. Get a co2 detector and keep a window cracked. Enjoy
I loved your video, and you've sold me on diesel fuel. I used my kerosene heater a couple of winters ago, but when I saw a gallon of kerosene would cost me ten bucks, I lost interest. I fired up the little guy on diesel Thursday morning. So far, I've run it for fourteen hours and still have a half gallon of diesel left.
Thank you so uch for your info. Id am new to burning Diesel. I burned propane for 2 years, but the heaters corrode really badly and need replacing after 1-2 seasons. I am all about burning diesel now. Thanks again for sharing your research and trials.
I use home heating oil in mine, whatever it's called, red diesel/kerosene, works great!! Slashed my heating bill in half, keeping nice and cozy during the winter months
Would love an update on how using diesel long term worked. I picked up a super old rusty one to try running diesel, a lot cheaper then kerosene in California.
Damn that's a fancy heater! Love these vintage ones, so simple, no fuss. Been into kerosene heaters lately, want one to send to ma, heating costs of fucking central gas heating are killing her. Heck, I want one for myself too! Kerosene heater to be added to my "list of stuff you gotta own".
I would recommend not filling hot... however, I do love the video... but I love the sound effects.... I think we would get along.... can be serious but not enough you cant have fun and enjoy things...
I bought one of these bout 10 years ago and it started a passion I have 5 they are all over the house. I just burn kerosene it's 299 And 5 gal lasts 3-4 days. I get 12 hour burns if I fill it all the way. I also have a larger fob that can burn bout 18 hrs straight.
I have 2 perfection heaters and one with k1 and the other with diesel #1 bp and it's night and day, the diesel stinks up your house! It's like hanging out behind a running bobcat. I even tried 1/2 diesel and k1 mix and it still stinks. Diesel is probably fine for heating up the barn or just a absolute emergency but it does smell.
Perfections run about 13,000 BTU. With diesel, it may be a tad lower. On the wick height - the height is VERY important for mitigating smoke. Diesel is basically #2 fuel oil and Perfections could run on #1 or #2 oil. I have a half dozen Perfections and a pair of Aladdins - the latter are much pickier about fuel. Also - I think craigslist of Facebook marketplace are better options for getting them.
@@abuntdentlife I have one of each running right now. The Aladdins are more finicky. I find that I have to VERY carefully trim the wick, and do so more often, though in tiny increments. They can start to emit odors more readily. BUT, you can refill the Aladdin without turning it off. This particular Aladdin has been going 72 hours straight. BUT, is now starting to smell a little. Tomorrow morning I'll turn it off, trim the wick, and relight it. Changing the wick on the Aladdin is more difficult as well, though not nearly as hard as many of the Japanese radiant heaters. The Perfections have to be turned-off to refill the reservoir. They can go 12 hours, so I do the refill process at 10am and 10pm. The wicks are 1/2 the price of the Aladdins and very straightforward to install. Gun to my head? I'll take the Perfections. ( I have 7 perfections ( 5 in operable condition ) and 2 Aladdins ( both operable ). BUT, I didn't score the Aladdins until 2 years ago, and haven't looked for any more.
@@Jollyprez I started with Aladdin Lamps and one of them will put out about 1800 btu but then ran across a blue flame Heater new in the box from before 1960's model 15 I ran it all last year and really never had a problem with it. how is the fuel consumption?
@@abuntdentlife Mine use a little less than the Perfections, as it is a little smaller. Both are very efficient heaters. I haven't tracked exactly how much they use - but as a rule-of-thumb, the Perfections last about 12 hours per full reservoir and the Aladdins about 16 hours on theirs.
You can take the cloth out of the wick carrier and put it on the original carrier, my new wicks kept jamming up and the only way to make it work was to transfer the cloth back to the original old style carrier which now works smooth as silk. It's actually easy and held on by two tabs on the inside of the rivet. ebay sales just the cloth for far less then the cost of one with a metal carrier. I posted a video on UA-cam, with details on this.
Diesel fuel changed as of 2006 and is better and cleaner than Kero if you mix 5 Gal Diesel to 1 quart Coleman fuel and it burns absolutely wonderful, the NEW diesel BTU’s are hotter and burn longer than Kero now. I own 4-5 perfection heaters and love them. Great video and beautiful stove. Olympia WA
jim krause I’m running it in 3 perfections since October 2018. Had 2 running last night for a few hours. Lit outside for 10 min, brought inside and runs perfect. Cheers Olympia WA
I'm not knowledgeable in this area, but these seem crude. It's like they're just a big oil lamp. Would they burn hotter and more efficiently if they were more like the kerosene burners from Japan, and maybe elsewhere, with attachments on top of the burner that get hot and further combust the fuel? No? How much BTU do these produce?
I have this same one for sale now in newzealand $250. I've seen them at $450 too, second hand and in good order. I may not sell mine after watching 5his.
Can't find claw foot k1 heaters anymore ... Grew up with em... Not idiot proof . But fail proof simple & warm . For sulpher diesel ... It's smart to have it on a ceramic tile platform . With a tin funnel vent that pipes out the window . Keep some baking soda at a minimum , just in case . Good idea to keep an extinguisher especially if you'll have animals or kids around it ... Just my two cents . Nice oven .
I must have this heater, i like old heaters that were good enough for a hundred years but too dangerous for today. That new diesel is so low Sulphur ive been tempted to use it on my kero heaters. When i convince people to try out kero heaters, i just tell em the truth, its just a big assed oil lamp that throws the heat.
I just bought a new Dyna-Glo, it says, use K-1 kerosene only. I live in a small mountain town, the only Kerosene was a the hardware store for $12.99 a gallon, actually a little under a gallon. What is K-1 kerosene, and do you know if I can use any kerosene, or if I can use you diesel mixture. They make it clear to only use K-1 kerosene. Thanks, and love your beautiful heater
If you use K2 kerosene you're supposed to use an external flue because it has higher sulfur content. The reason the ULSD diesel worked for me is because I used a 100% COTTON wick. NO fiberglass or else it will clog up.
Kero is the easiest fuel for the refineries to make. It used to be way cheaper than gasoline many years ago. I'm guessing the big utility companies are behind the big price increases.
+syyenergy7 Thanks God my house furnace just started working again, I cleaned the ignitor element, but it keeps going off at night, let's hope I fixed it. The power has been going off a lot here, lots of snow, so I think this heater will come in handy.
I tried this, worked great but after two hours wick must suffer and flames dies down cutting heat output in half. I cleaned wick, topped of fuel, lit again and got the same.results.
How much was this one? I haven't given up on this idea. Does the seller you bought this one from sell more like it? That one looks cool and I don't mind spending a little more to get all the parts.
+cityguyable I think about $160 with the shipping. Let's see what it does after some time. So far it's good. This was the 1st day I tested it. I think it will work out well.
Not a bad idea. I searched far and wide to find a cotton wick for my KeroHeat but no luck. Even bought one hoping it was cotton but it was fiberglass as well.
You would need to heat the veg oil up so much it wouldn't be viable. Possibly above 400F for the veg oil to burn clean if it ever would. You would need a heater for your heater basically lol.
That's about what I thought. I've got a 10,500 and a 23,000 btu.. One to big and one to small. I've been trying to find a 15/17,000 but I don't think they make them. Thanks!
@@ohUredneckOn these type of heaters the diameter of the wick is the limit to BTU output so look in the stores for a wick that's between known 10k and 23k heaters (guessing around 5 inches for 15k BTU) then find out what heater it is for but I doubt you find one in the middle. 1 thing to note is that diesel is 4k btu more per gallon than kerosene and costs around $.40 less. With that said one cannot forget about #1 kerosene( AKA, JetFuel, AKA K1) this fuel is generally drastically marked up and produced separately than #2kerosene and diesel by extra refinement steps. So if one was to say mix 1 gallon #2kerosene with 4 gallons of modern on-road or off-road diesel (only differing in a tiny amount of red dye) they would be increasing the BTU output of the heater by 3k BTU. I don't suggest the content creators additive of 91% isopropyl because the other 9% is water... If your going to cut Diesel do it with 100% grade fuel source that is slightly more flammable than Diesel to instigate a faster start up of said heater. Also suggest the use of a catalytic sock if your going to convert to diesel. These are only about $20 and worth the effect to gain some safety. Also to note that winter grade Deisel is already cut with Kerosene for the same purposes helping efficient burn, easier start up in cold weather, speed warm up time, and reduce particulate emissions during diesels long warm up time. The not burning diesel argument is well out dated and goes back over 50 years. The truth is modern low sulfur diesel doesn't have the ailments that spurred this argument long ago and since 2010 the grade of diesel has been suitable for use in these types of heaters but it does need a modifier to instigate a quick start up for a clean burn of the diesel. I may have over estimated with the 4:1 diesel to Kerosene and more research never hurts but the 4:1 should be a safe starting point while reducing the fuel costs and increasing the BTU output. I have typed enough for a reply to a 3 year old comment I hope this info finds you well and helps in some way.
Try it outside first. I've been using only diesel for the last 3 years and it's my main heat source. This heater runs diesel no problem at all. Most of the new heaters can't run diesel.

It works quite well for me, as an emergency fuel, use 3/4 diesel + 1/4 gasoline in a cotton wick. With that it burns very well.

Miles Wick shop will have the correct wick.
You need to put the wick down to the lowest setting, otherwise you'll just waste the wick. I have this very same model here in the UK, built 1928 ;)
