We have had these in every Iraqi home, what a nostalgic heater/stove.. we used to cook, prepare tea, popcorn and chill around it in cold rainy months. Thank you for sharing.

Takes me back to my childhood my dad used Aladdin heaters in the greenhouse and we had one of these for the shed for brewing up tea and cooking on. He would take us to this crazy local hardware shop to fill up fuel cans with paraffin. Totally nutty place it was, it was a Tudor timber frame building and over the years it developed a very prominent lean it looked like the building was ready to fall over. They actually had a fuel pump inside the shop not outside that was fed from a tank in the basement the entire shop just smelled like paraffin. It was ran by this old fella and his 2 sons the sons were in the 60's so the old man must have been 80 plus and they would always have a hand rolled cigarette on the go while pumping the paraffin. How the place never went up in flames is beyond me. 😁
When you're working with kerosene wicks, you must ensure that you trim them to the same height all the way around, otherwise, you'll have differing flames which can cause it to have more fumes. That particular heater is a "Blue Flame" heater, and when fully warmed-up will show a bright blue line at the top edges of the wick. Very neat.
Grew up with two of these .Same color and everything. Every now and then it would run out of fuel while we slept and the wick would smoke and we’d wake up the next morning with black around our noses . It was the late 1960’s. Brings back fond memories ~ thanks for an excellent video !!
i have this model, its the 15 model made back in the 1950s. when i lit mine for the first time it burned like yours, so i replaced it the wick with a new one. i use it in my workshop and heats it in no time. its built to last, british engineering at its best.
Had one of these in the 60's. Used to warm our living room up. You are supposed to let the wick soak up the fuel for a couple of hours before lighting it. Not all of the wick was fueled, thats why it was not burning even. Even a dirty old wick will soak up the fuel. I enjoyed the video. Great restoration.
The wick simply needed trimming (available from the same site as you obtained the other bits) and the heaters were designed to run paraffin not methylated spirits. You did a nice job but a shame you didn't maintain the original sage-green finish.
جميل ومبدع .. هاي كنا نسميها بالعراق صوبة علاء الدين كانت تجمعنا حواليها ايام الشتاء وقوري الجاي مينزل من عليها الله كانت احلى ايام وقت الخير راح مع اهلة ..😔😔
Blimey...that's a blast from the past. One of four Paraffin Heaters we had to heat the house. One of my jobs to earn pocket money as a kid back in the 60's was to clean the wicks to keep the flame burning cleanly. You lifted out the perforated central component and replaced it with the correct wick trimmer which you rotated back and forth trimming the wick and removing the carbon build up. Happy memories!
Oh, wow! this is a blast from the past. I'm from England, and in the 70's my parents used one of these to heat our bedroom. My mum would send us to the hardware shop to buy paraffin. We were probably aged around 8 or 9 at the time.
Wasn't that the time of the TGW strike including the miners? I remember the power outages and having paraffin lamps but the glass domed ones and lots of candles. My father was dock worker at the time tough all round.
@@suzannetodaro5494 Oh yes , miners strikes and dockers strikes around the early 70,s . Those old heaters were a godsend and eficient as long as you kept the wick trimmed
For some households in Iraq, this might still be used as the only way to keep the house warm and cozy during winter! I know, cause I grew up having those in my house! We used it for cooking, baking and drying clothes! Love em so much , it brings back childhood memories 🥰🥰🥰
@@Restomaniac I hope to one day. I've been to 15 different countries and by far Turkey is still my favorite, I honestly think it's because of the people and hospitality customs.
We had one of these. I had to carry the parafin (kerosene) from the self service pump at a garage 1mile away. I was 9. And it was always in the winter.
I scored one at a yard sale for free. The condition was pretty much the same as yours. I didn't have time to completely redo it, so I did some minor cleaning, threw in a new wick, works great. But I will save this video because it's so instructional and you did amazing work. Not going to lie, I may copy your color scheme!
I just bought one myself to restore. Trying to find the best paint to use.The wick probably just needs to be soaked overnight with kerosene and trimmed. Great job
Thank you so much. It is necessary to choose the paint that is resistant to the highest possible temperature. Black and gray colors can withstand up to 600 degrees. But still the paint sheds over time.
I am just starting to restore the same exact heater. I was wondering how you were going to deal with the "pitting" on the chimney and on the cook surface on top. I am glad you showed that you used the exhaust system sealer cement. I wouldn't have thought of that. Now I know how to get the surface nice and smooth. I am thinking of leaving just the bare metal when I am done, instead of painting it. Thank you!
one of the first flame heater we had in family, in winter we were all around it and sometimes put bread over it to make it more crispy, golden time ran a way , I am now 49 years old and I remember it when I was only 6 years old .... nice restoration thank you!
I'm 46 years old. As I understand it, this project has been a beautiful journey to the past for many people of our age. Thank you very much for your nice comments.

Good job man. Even in this part of world, such stove wasn't famous but yeah, the model and design was kind of same from this one which I saw in my childhood. Love from India.
There is a man who lives in Oregon who sells parts for this heater. I was able to order two wicks, a wick trimmer, and mica glass. I was not able to get a new fuel indicator window. I saw how you took yours apart, and I am hoping that with some warm soapy water I can clean it up.

Great job. I got two of these. Next time, I would sandblast the chimney if in bad condition. It is hard to remove the enamel. The type showen has a complete brass tank. Looks great even without painting. What I am looking for is a vdo that shows the inside if the tank and the wick transport.
Miles Stair Wick Shop has a download of instructions for The Aladdin Blue Flame Heater - mica, wicks, and parts. Remember the burning wick should have a BLUE flame for optimal and safe use. Great Restoration.
Lovely restoration, genius move on the exhaust cement I would never have thought of that. I’ve got one but I’m gonna do British Racing Green pipe and top and polish the brass bowl. Thanks for sharing
Wick needed trimming to level it off. I always used to take my mum's to pieces and put it back together when I was young. Those heaters where lovely old things.
Fill it whit a littlebit Cerosene... Just a little and lett it burn out, then level off wick whit a wick cleaner. Aladdin makes them so no problem to gett. ONLY use cerosene in these burners.

Good job,used to have more than one and using them for heating cooking,even baking cakes until recent years we changed to more modern kerosene heaters,thank you.
Nice job, I just picked up one for $35 , I don't think the fig plants in the greenhouse would appreciate the work to rejuvenate it. But looking forward to seeing it used.
Selam. Yakıtı yanma odasına taşıyan fitili yenilemek için şunu düşündüm: İtraiye hortumlarının dış paltosuna benziyor, belki pamuk veya ketenden yapılmış eski bir itfaiye hortumu dış paltosu kullanabilirsiniz. Tabii ki çapı uyarmı bilmiyorum. Bu arada kamp ocağı videonuzda ki yakıt deposunun içini temizlemek için kullandığınız şişe fırçası fikrine bayıldım. Benim elimde 4 tane rus benzin ocağı var, depoları paslanmış durumda. Nasıl temizleyeceğim diye kara kara düşünürken bunu gördüm videonuzda. Süper fikir.
İlginiz ve yorumlarınız için çok teşekkür ederim. :) Yangın hortumu paltosu çok iyi fikir bence de. Bu arada tabii sipariş vermiş oldum ve geldi yeni fitil ama bence mantıklı söylediğiniz. Tekrar teşekkür ederim. Sevgiler :)
Nice restoration , not to as new which i think is better , it still shows some of its age which is nice . So many take these things and make them like new when they should not. Very clever idea with the exhaust putty , i wonder how many others will now use that idea
I think the wick is still dry and the fuel did not come into contact with it. Therefore, before setting fire to the heater, it is necessary to wait two hours or more for the wick to be filled with fuel. Greetings to you from Baghdad - Iraq.
a consumate restoration your love and passion shine as bright as any heater or lantern you restore as well as your devotion to bringing back these wonderful things back to life simply marvellous my friend.
The wick. The central thing, a cap with holes in which sits in the top within the wick, we used as a wick trimmer, screwed round it rubbed off the carbon, evened up the wick and then you’d turn it up to expose more. Makes me wonder whether you could have trimmed that wick!
Thank you very much for your comment, but it has been so long since this restoration. I don't even remember what I was doing. But I'm sure you're right 😊🤗🙏
@@Restomaniac I’ve been thinking since then, and I’m mistaken. The central metal thing inside the top of the wick is a flame spreader, and the wick cleaner is a circle of metal with a groove that fits the edge of the wick. Not seeing it here? You gently screw it round and round to wear away the burnt wick (flame out at that time of course!) removing excess carbon, and so it then burns clear and blue. A few yellow bits of flame means it needed trimming. You can still buy wick trimmers/cleaners
Hello love your video i have the same heater and noticed that you said you are ordering a new window for the fuel gauge. I understand this video is 4 years old but where did you order your fuel gauge cover . Thx again Cliff
Hello there. I use salt water and 15 volt current in the electrolysis rust removal method. The chimney parts of the stove are made of steel and covered with enamel. The fuel tank part is made of brass.
Just got new wick installed and found two little clogged air holes in flame spreader. Cleared the holes and now have nice blue flame all the way around!! Nice!!
طبعا إلى حد الان عدنه منها ونستعملها بالشتاء محافظين عليها نضعها دائما بالمطبخ وقوري الشاي أو شئ نضعه فوقها عائلتنا كلها تحبها ونجتمع حولها ووجود التلفزيون
@Restomaniac Hi mate. Very nice job. How it looked at the start Vs how it looked in the end was one hell of a transformation ! I'm currently part way through restoring an old Aladdin Blue Flame that I got cheap, and mine has exactly the same pitting in the metal on the top lid as yours had. I'm curious. Did you restore this and keep it, or has it since found a new owner? If you still have it, has that exhaust putty worked well as filler on it's lid and chimney ? Or did it eventually crack back off ? I was originally thinking about filling the crater in this ones lid by building up some brass braze in it and sanding that flat, but I'm now thinking that if the exhaust putty worked OK it would be a much safer option that doesn't risk heat warping the flat section of the lid out of shape. I'm going to have to break out the brazing kit anyway though as after the tank spent 4 days in a rust removing solution, it turns out that it's got 2 tiny little rust holes on the seam around the edge (The tank on mine has a brass bottom half and tin plate top brazed together). It shouldn't be too hard to dimple the edges of these holes in slightly with a centre punch, then I can plug them with braze to get a pretty invisible repair........ It's just annoying that these are just a couple of the faults I've found on a heater that initially looked like it only needed a reasonably quick cosmetic tidy up before I could put it to work. :(
Hello my friend. Thank you. I don't have Aladdin, I handed it over to its owner. As far as I know, he used the stove 4-5 times and the exhaust putty has not cracked yet. Of course, I don't know what the performance will be in continuous use. It makes sense to braze the small holes on the side of the tank. However, brazing and enamel parts can be difficult to fuse. So it may not be a completely smooth patch. Attempting to braze at high temperatures can also damage or crack enamel parts. In conclusion, if you ask me, do the make-up on the enamel with exhaust putty and use the stove for a long time before painting it completely, test whether it will crack. That might be easier and cheaper.
@@Restomaniac Enamel? That's long gone mate. 🙂 The stuff had cracked all over the place and the metal underneath was peppered with surface rust, so I decided it all had to come off. Strangely though, the rust remover I'm using (Bult Hamber's "Deox-C") had softened the enamel to the point where it could near as damn it be scrubbed off with nothing more than a scotchbright pad ! It seems odd that while the original coating had been impervious to paraffin for 60 years, What I'm assuming to be citric acid ate right into it within 3 days ?!?! I've already bought the high temperature paint to replace the enamel when it's finished........ Yours looked very classy, so I'm shamelessly stealing that black and silver scheme. 😁
@@Reman1975 The rust must have worn down the enamel from below. Then I hope your black and silver paints are ready 😁 Black color suits stoves already. And silver looks great as a contrast color 😊
Wonderful restoration.Thank you for sharing. I have the same and I would like your help. I have the fuel window but it is very blurry, and I think it does not clean.Where did you order a new one? What liquid have you put to clean the flame spreader?Thank you!!
Thank you so much. About 1 year ago I ordered from the following site: hattersleyaladdin.co.uk/shop/product-category/wicks/aladdin/ But I do not know the current stock situation. You can soak the brass parts in water with a little vinegar and clean them with a soft brush.
I'd be willing to bet that if you trim the wick off square it'll work fine, the only question would be how much is left to adjust after trimming. Once you light the wick just close the chimney, it will keep the heat contained and the flame will naturally work its way around.
Hello. Thank you very much 😊 I ordered the wick and oil gauge window from this site. But 1 year has passed. I don't know the availability: hattersleyaladdin.co.uk/shop/product-category/wicks/aladdin/

عندي ذاكره تصوريه موطبيعيه ..اتذكر امور وانا بسن الثلاث السنوات .عموما اشترى المرحوم والدي صوبتين من علاء الدين وحده لونه يشبه هذه والاخرى لونه بيجي ..في عام 1975 نلتم عليها الصبح ونتريك ..وبعد ساعه تنتهي هذه اللمه ابويه يروح للمحل ..اخواني يرحون للمدرسه ..وانا الوحيد اللي ابقى قرب هذه الصوبه لان عمري اربع سنوات .واكعد يم الصوبه الصبح واضل اتفرج على الصور مال الاطلس مال اختي الكبيره ..انتهى هذا المشهد الجميل
It was a very pleasant memory :)
@@Restomaniac great memories ...anything from the past tastes better ..
Good job man. Even in this part of world, such stove wasn't famous but yeah, the model and design was kind of same from this one which I saw in my childhood. Love from India.
Thank you so much. Loves to India from Turkey :)
There is a man who lives in Oregon who sells parts for this heater. I was able to order two wicks, a wick trimmer, and mica glass. I was not able to get a new fuel indicator window. I saw how you took yours apart, and I am hoping that with some warm soapy water I can clean it up.
Almost a hundred years ago, Iraqis use this stove in the winter, and it is still part of the heritage of Iraq
Thanks for your comments :)

صوبه علاء الدين .. صنع في العراق .. ماكو بيت عراقي يخله منه .. الزمن الجميل .. شكرآ ع الفديو
شكرا لتعليقك يا رجل.
ترى صوبة علاء الدين بريطانية الصنع مو عراقية ،،،،،،، احنا كلشي مانعرف نصنع
Great job. I got two of these. Next time, I would sandblast the chimney if in bad condition. It is hard to remove the enamel.
The type showen has a complete brass tank. Looks great even without painting.
What I am looking for is a vdo that shows the inside if the tank and the wick transport.
Miles Stair Wick Shop has a download of instructions for The Aladdin Blue Flame Heater - mica, wicks, and parts. Remember the burning wick should have a BLUE flame for optimal and safe use. Great Restoration.
Thank you 😊
You did a great job on the heater, I have two they are fantastic bits of kit if we get SHTF built to last and are bomb proof
Отличная работа! Я наслаждалась процессом! Благодарю!

@@raymondminashi Yes, old, great times.
Everything turned out fine, it became like new! Good luck to the master!

Lovely restoration, genius move on the exhaust cement I would never have thought of that. I’ve got one but I’m gonna do British Racing Green pipe and top and polish the brass bowl. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much :)
Done an amazing job thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 😊🤗
Wick needed trimming to level it off. I always used to take my mum's to pieces and put it back together when I was young. Those heaters where lovely old things.
Thank you very much for your interest and comments :)
Fill it whit a littlebit Cerosene... Just a little and lett it burn out, then level off wick whit a wick cleaner. Aladdin makes them so no problem to gett. ONLY use cerosene in these burners.
@@Wackscave you can buy the ick trimmer from an old fashioned hardware shop.

Good job,used to have more than one and using them for heating cooking,even baking cakes until recent years we changed to more modern kerosene heaters,thank you.
Thank you very much :)
I had that exact heater when i was a kid. Worked excellent for many years....
Absolutely perfect devices. I remember that when I was a kid, we used to warm up with these devices. :)
Good to see work being performed without a sandblaster.
Thank you very much :)
Great video. I’m just about to buy and restore one in the UK. Be nice to see you make a cup-of-tea on the stove top!😄

Nice job, I just picked up one for $35 , I don't think the fig plants in the greenhouse would appreciate the work to rejuvenate it. But looking forward to seeing it used.
Great job, but I would leave the oil bowl brass, make it very shiny like gold.😊
Thank you 😊
Beautiful work. You are blessed with such talent and patience.
Thank you so much :)
Selam. Yakıtı yanma odasına taşıyan fitili yenilemek için şunu düşündüm: İtraiye hortumlarının dış paltosuna benziyor, belki pamuk veya ketenden yapılmış eski bir itfaiye hortumu dış paltosu kullanabilirsiniz. Tabii ki çapı uyarmı bilmiyorum. Bu arada kamp ocağı videonuzda ki yakıt deposunun içini temizlemek için kullandığınız şişe fırçası fikrine bayıldım. Benim elimde 4 tane rus benzin ocağı var, depoları paslanmış durumda. Nasıl temizleyeceğim diye kara kara düşünürken bunu gördüm videonuzda. Süper fikir.
İlginiz ve yorumlarınız için çok teşekkür ederim. :) Yangın hortumu paltosu çok iyi fikir bence de. Bu arada tabii sipariş vermiş oldum ve geldi yeni fitil ama bence mantıklı söylediğiniz. Tekrar teşekkür ederim. Sevgiler :)
we called this aladin and we have like 4 so much clean it's like new

Do you want to sell me one of them?
@@lawrencehirmiz6847 sorry .no
@@dandyozone823 ok brother.
Nice restoration , not to as new which i think is better , it still shows some of its age which is nice . So many take these things and make them like new when they should not. Very clever idea with the exhaust putty , i wonder how many others will now use that idea
Thank you so much. I believe it is necessary to protect the age or the past of the objects somehow :)
Hello very nice work.!tell me your colors last when you burn it for a while?
wow that one is ruff i just found 2 of them the h42202 and a f150056 looks like one has a brass tank and the other is steel very cool old heaters
I think the wick is still dry and the fuel did not come into contact with it. Therefore, before setting fire to the heater, it is necessary to wait two hours or more for the wick to be filled with fuel. Greetings to you from Baghdad - Iraq.
Yes, you are right. Greetings to Baghdad :)
@@Restomaniac ..
Marvelous heater and cooker at old time, a place get together at the long cold winter time.
Thanks for your comments :)
a consumate restoration your love and passion shine as bright as any heater or lantern you restore as well as your devotion to bringing back these wonderful things back to life
simply marvellous my friend.
Thank you very much 😊
Everyone in my family had one of these. One of my earliest memories was burning my hand on it.
The years go by very quickly and we forget the wonders of the past.
Wher are you leve
@@Restomaniac Don't know about that. give me central heating anytime.
Why you burn your hands on them? 😣😣😣😣😣
@@Restomaniac So true
I can remember this type of heater being used by my grandparents. I have not seen one like this in a long time.
I think it was popular in the 1970s :)
Wow! What an amazingly gorgeous end result! Love it! Great job :)
Thank you 😊

Great restore. Can you post where you purchased oil gauge
Thank you very much 😊 It was long time ago 😊
The wick. The central thing, a cap with holes in which sits in the top within the wick, we used as a wick trimmer, screwed round it rubbed off the carbon, evened up the wick and then you’d turn it up to expose more. Makes me wonder whether you could have trimmed that wick!
Thank you very much for your comment, but it has been so long since this restoration. I don't even remember what I was doing. But I'm sure you're right 😊🤗🙏
@@Restomaniac I’ve been thinking since then, and I’m mistaken. The central metal thing inside the top of the wick is a flame spreader, and the wick cleaner is a circle of metal with a groove that fits the edge of the wick. Not seeing it here? You gently screw it round and round to wear away the burnt wick (flame out at that time of course!) removing excess carbon, and so it then burns clear and blue. A few yellow bits of flame means it needed trimming. You can still buy wick trimmers/cleaners
Great Restoration; But Obviously You Should Have Hard Trimmed That Old Wick Before Lighting.
Hello love your video i have the same heater and noticed that you said you are ordering a new window for the fuel gauge. I understand this video is 4 years old but where did you order your fuel gauge cover .
Thx again
Cliff
What a labour of love! ADMIRABLE!!! i got a lot of pleasure watching your video.
Thank you so much 😊
Hello, I wanted to know what is the passage in the water with the current used for? And what material is this type of stove made of? Thanks so much
Hello there. I use salt water and 15 volt current in the electrolysis rust removal method. The chimney parts of the stove are made of steel and covered with enamel. The fuel tank part is made of brass.
@@Restomaniac thanks
You did a great job... I would prefer the original color instead of the black that you painted.. Anyway a great job you did and thanks for sharing.

@Restomaniac Hi mate. Very nice job. How it looked at the start Vs how it looked in the end was one hell of a transformation !
I'm currently part way through restoring an old Aladdin Blue Flame that I got cheap, and mine has exactly the same pitting in the metal on the top lid as yours had. I'm curious. Did you restore this and keep it, or has it since found a new owner? If you still have it, has that exhaust putty worked well as filler on it's lid and chimney ? Or did it eventually crack back off ?
I was originally thinking about filling the crater in this ones lid by building up some brass braze in it and sanding that flat, but I'm now thinking that if the exhaust putty worked OK it would be a much safer option that doesn't risk heat warping the flat section of the lid out of shape. I'm going to have to break out the brazing kit anyway though as after the tank spent 4 days in a rust removing solution, it turns out that it's got 2 tiny little rust holes on the seam around the edge (The tank on mine has a brass bottom half and tin plate top brazed together). It shouldn't be too hard to dimple the edges of these holes in slightly with a centre punch, then I can plug them with braze to get a pretty invisible repair........ It's just annoying that these are just a couple of the faults I've found on a heater that initially looked like it only needed a reasonably quick cosmetic tidy up before I could put it to work. :(
Hello my friend. Thank you. I don't have Aladdin, I handed it over to its owner. As far as I know, he used the stove 4-5 times and the exhaust putty has not cracked yet. Of course, I don't know what the performance will be in continuous use. It makes sense to braze the small holes on the side of the tank. However, brazing and enamel parts can be difficult to fuse. So it may not be a completely smooth patch. Attempting to braze at high temperatures can also damage or crack enamel parts.
In conclusion, if you ask me, do the make-up on the enamel with exhaust putty and use the stove for a long time before painting it completely, test whether it will crack. That might be easier and cheaper.
@@Restomaniac Enamel? That's long gone mate. 🙂
The stuff had cracked all over the place and the metal underneath was peppered with surface rust, so I decided it all had to come off. Strangely though, the rust remover I'm using (Bult Hamber's "Deox-C") had softened the enamel to the point where it could near as damn it be scrubbed off with nothing more than a scotchbright pad !
It seems odd that while the original coating had been impervious to paraffin for 60 years, What I'm assuming to be citric acid ate right into it within 3 days ?!?!
I've already bought the high temperature paint to replace the enamel when it's finished........ Yours looked very classy, so I'm shamelessly stealing that black and silver scheme. 😁
@@Reman1975 The rust must have worn down the enamel from below. Then I hope your black and silver paints are ready 😁 Black color suits stoves already. And silver looks great as a contrast color 😊
Wonderful restoration.Thank you for sharing. I have the same and I would like your help. I have the fuel window but it is very blurry, and I think it does not clean.Where did you order a new one? What liquid have you put to clean the flame spreader?Thank you!!
Thank you so much. About 1 year ago I ordered from the following site: hattersleyaladdin.co.uk/shop/product-category/wicks/aladdin/ But I do not know the current stock situation. You can soak the brass parts in water with a little vinegar and clean them with a soft brush.
@@Restomaniac Thank you for your help!!
We called those a "salamander". You would take it with you to the outhouse in the morning.
I'd be willing to bet that if you trim the wick off square it'll work fine, the only question would be how much is left to adjust after trimming. Once you light the wick just close the chimney, it will keep the heat contained and the flame will naturally work its way around.
Thank you. Yes, you are right. Then I cut it a little. It's still a little short, but it works.
Hello sir, where did you order the new oil gauge window from, I would really love to know because I need one
Do you have a link for where you purchased the oil level window? I have the same model and can't find one. Thanks, and great video.
Hello. Thank you very much 😊 I ordered the wick and oil gauge window from this site. But 1 year has passed. I don't know the availability: hattersleyaladdin.co.uk/shop/product-category/wicks/aladdin/
Wonderful restoration . I would use that heater instead of an electric heater. It looks brand new! Peace 💫
