Perfect for heating your garage while doing those winter car repairs. Got pictures up finally ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/f706e17c.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/f706e17c.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/fc3f4082.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/fc3f4082.jpg) Does fine heating my 2.5 car lightly insulated garage up to a temperature comfortable for working in jeans and a sweatshirt. I’m selling it because I used it so little it made a lot more sense to use propane so I could share tanks with my grill. Only thing wrong with it is the electric glow start doesn’t work. It probably just needs a battery but with as little as I use it I found it easier to just touch a flame (match, grill lighter, propane torch) to the wick and light it that way. $40 and it’s yours. I’ll even toss in a little blue kerosene can since I’ll have no use for it anymore. New one is $130.

I have one of these, they work awesome and burn clean(with the right fuel) so no bad kerosene smell. ---

Bump for pictures of actual heater. Up on craigslist finally too, so hopefully it sells quick so I can make some room for the new snowmobile. ---

> [@suzukiriderman](#): > > I have one of these, they work awesome and burn clean(with the right fuel) so no bad kerosene smell. What is the right fuel? I had one in the big ice storm years back and whatever I used made me high as hell…in a bad way. LOL. If this can be burned clean I would probably be interested. ---

It says k-1 kerosene only on it. I didn’t have problems using it in my garage. I’m a little concerned about using the small amount of kerosene I have left without refilling the can with fresh. ---

I would buy this but all the garages I have access to have cars in them so I am always working on jackstands in the driveway in the winter. Totally worth the cheap price, someone should pick this up. ---

CL guy was supposed to pick it up for $30 today around 1. I txt him at 2:30 and he says, “still interested, just real busy. Will be in touch”. Fucking craigslist. ---

> [@TradersBASE](#): > > Won’t fall through. I hate flakers. 😉 Sounds good. I would suggest when you get it to put just a little bit of fresh fuel in it, set it outside, and let it run on high until it burns itself out. That “dry burn” is what cleans the wick and I used to do it once a season the first time I used it. This season I didn’t use it so it hasn’t been done. ---

I have to go to Lowes to snag some stuff and will get a container and fresh Kero on the way. How’s the wick…still good I assume or will I need to replace it ya think? ---

How’s the wick…still good I assume or will I need to replace it ya think? I assume it’s good but I’ll be honest here and say I wouldn’t know how to tell. It’s worked fine for me with nice even flame and I never used it much. Plus I did the dry burn once a year which is good for cleaning the wick. Don’t grab a container just yet unless you want two since since the one pictured is going with it. There’s about 2" of kero in it that I would probably just dump but if you were going to fill it with fresh it would probably fine to mix it.
