    I guess I am missing something.

    That would a bit more than 4000 watts. They are available.

    Yes pulling 5000-5600w, sounds very economical.

    Yes, I am sure RemOaks has that, and uses it on a regular basis.




    Actually I have five of these,I use them in my construction company so I don't have to buy propane. But if there's a ruptured gas pipe which has happened twice in my life, I bring one home

    BaHahaha, Bahahahaha... Oh did I mention, bahahahah.... And if you didn't hear it the first 3 times, Bahahahaha

    Do you have any more questions you have to ask that will make you look like a fool? I would gladly accommodate you in answering them...

    Oh one more thing Ken, BaHahaha!!!

    Uhhh,......that link references a "15,000 Watt single phase 240 volt electric heater." Not by any means a Home unit. Yes 15,000 watts is certainly economical.

    If you choose to call me a "Fool," because you are butt hurt about this issue, well then I can certainly live with that. I really do not care either way. [:D]

    Yes, I am sure it is a 15,000 BTU, wall mounted electric unit, and it "hardly draws any juice."


    15,000 BTU's is a LOT of heat. "Hardly draws any juice." Laughable.


    If you really need to kick this horse about how great your kero heat is, and how bad elect. is,know the facts.

    A very commonly used ac/heater 12000 btus that uses 240 volts {we folks living in the 21 century have 240 in our non kerosene homes}, will draw about 5.2 amps per each leg of 120 volts.
    Of course, we don't have the stink of burning an ancient fossil fuel,
    or the need to constantly refill the wiring, increased fire hazzard,
    and the possibility of brain damage from the flumes.

    Did I mention brain damage??

    it's very apparent that you were trying to make me look like the fool here, but it backfired on you...

    I know you say you don't care that you made yourself look like a fool oh, but you were sure trying hard enough to try to make me look like a fool. Too bad it backfired on you. because I sure wasn't trying to make you look like a fool, you just made yourself look like a fool... So please don't blame me for trying to make you look like a fool, when in fact it was you that made yourself look like a fool


    If you read my original post over on your other thread, there was no mention of a home unit... And yes they draw about 7,000 wash per hour, but this can work off of a 220 single phase home electrical outlet... and cost almost $600 to buy new, but like I said I use them for work, and if there is a need to heat my house with it, it's well worth the price for the comfort I get...

    In fact the last time I used it inside my house, was when a part on my house heater broke on a Sunday. That was last year, the part for my house heater only cost $15, but I couldn't get it until Monday morning. Like I said I stayed warm... And the cost of electricity was less than what a motel room with a cost...if I recall that night it got down to 5 degrees above zero, I wasn't going to stay in my house when is that cold

    Gee Remoaks, how many times can you use the word "fool," in a single sentence/paragraph? (Is your auto speak/translator stuck?)

    You do not need any help from me, or anyone else to achieve that status. You are doing just fine on your own.


    Carry on.





    I am sure you will not/can not resist a pathetic come back. So I await.

    I got 15 to 20 kerosene lanterns if anyone likes that stinky crap. Very economical. They went out of style for a reason, just like kerosene heaters.

    Come on guys,can?t we all just get a long?? Let?s dwell on things we can all agree on like Glock makes the finest handguns ever produced. 9 mm has been proven to be much deadlier than 45acp. .40 S&W is obsolete and won?t penetrate one wing of a rubber band powered balsa wood airplane. Fiat is a fanstac automobile. Democrats are caring and reasonable people. President Trump is a Russian spy. Now don?t you feel better?.[:X][^]

    I have a Kero-Sun Omni 230 in 18' x 22' detached garage. Puts out 23,000 BTU,s. Puts out so much heat you have no choice but to crack windows. I always keep flame as low as possible to avoid any smell and am very fussy about wick maintenance. Very happy with this setup. Of course I guess it helps to have well insulated walls and I have over a foot in the ceiling.

    About ten years ago dug a trench 18" deep,laid schedule 40 pipe and snaked #8 wire to subpanel in garage. Of course my main panel is maxed out now and won't be going to electric heater in garage.

    Guess I will keep on contributing to global warming and let the next guy worry about main panel upgrade. At 76 life is getting a little short.

    Not trying to kick a dead horse but it has a heat coil,,it is not a heat pump,,my room used to be a detached garage and I walled it in and fixed it up,,it has its own meter,, the winter here in Arkansas is not always cold but cold enough,, my powerbill in the winter for that room runs 35-40 dollars,,higher in the summer cooling.. that is about a dollar a day for heat,lights and 2 deep freezers,,so it cant draw that much power,, If you burn a gallon a day in your kerosene heater your paying more for heat than I am powering everything

    I don't know if you wired it yourself or you had a professional wire your detached garage.

    But if you're running two freezers and a heater / air conditioner unit in it, and if your breaker box has two banks a breakers running parallel to each other, make sure your breaker box is balanced. Meaning that you have just as many amps usage on each bank of your your breaker box. If your breaker box is not balanced, you can over heat one side of the hot side of your breaker box because you'll be drawn all your amps from one side of the hot side of your breaker box instead of balancing it out over both sides of your breaker box...

    That may be true, but "Arkansas," is not the Mountains of Western North Carolina, or Extreme North Eastern Tennessee. I'm at about 4000' elevation. It got down to 3* last night. Lowest last year was -14*.


    My Kerosene heater is relegated to power outages, or if it gets down in to low single digit temperatures. It is not a readily used resource. It is very nice to have, in situations like yesterday when the power went out, or overnight when in the very low single digit temperatures.
