Whoa! $10 a gallon?! Virginia here and it's $5.99 a gallon at the pump. Crazy prices we're dealing with this year. One of the best tips I can give you to help make your fuel stretch is to make sure your flame is set to manufacturer's recommended height. For the Dyna-Glo 23,800 BTU heater that height is 1/2 inch. When I set the flame at that height on this heater and I use clear k1 kerosene, I can usually get between 14 - 16 hours burn time. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel!

@@jlofi000 Absolutely, my home is 900 sq ft open floor plan so I use the big 23,800 BTU heater. The 23,800 BTU heater is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft. Tank is 1.9 gallons and average burn time is 14 - 16 hours (usually closer to 16 hours). I just recently learned that a lot of people have no idea what the sq footage of their home actually is. They're just buying these heaters and expecting them to work without understanding the space they are rated for. Crazy. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.

@@scottw595 I have the Dyna-Glo 23,800 BTU convection kerosene heater and it's what you see in all of my kerosene heater videos you see here on TH-cam. Dyna-Glo makes 2 different sizes of this heater style...the 23,800 BTU model (the one I have) and the 10,500 BTU model (the one you have). They pretty much operate the same, but the biggest difference between them is what they are rated to heat. The 23,800 BTU unit will heat up to 1,000 sq ft, while the 10,500 BTU unit will heat up to 500 sq ft. My house is a 900 sq ft open floor plan so I find the 23,800 BTU unit works extremely well for my scenario.
Super true! We use our ceiling fans to push the warm air throughout the house. A wood stove fan works too. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing. Take care and stay warm!
@@scottw595 My fuel gage on the big 23,800 BTU model (what you see in my videos) says full is 8 hours and my tank size is 1.9 gallons. Here's the thing with these heaters...if you leave that flame all the way up at it's highest setting...you will burn through your fuel FAST (and usually at the exact rate listed on your fuel gage). If you set the flame down to the manufacturer's recommended height (check your manual but I'm pretty sure it's listed as 1/2 inch flame height), you may notice you can get a lot more burn time on one tank. So even though my fuel gage says 8 hours for one tank, I can actually get anywhere between 14 to 16 hours burn time just by setting that wick flame at the correct 1/2 inch height. I can't do an exact comparison between your heater and mine because you and I have 2 different sized heaters. I would recommend practice setting that flame height correctly so that you can get the most burn time off of one tank of fuel. Zero smell comes from using kerosene that is super low in sulfur. ALL kerosene has sulfur in it, but clear k1 kerosene specifically has the LEAST amount of sulfur. When sulfur is burned it creates that "rotten egg" kerosene smell. So if you can, try to use clear k1 kerosene every time you fill your heater.
Bought one 2 months ago and love it but up here in the north east. Kerosene is 10.00 a gallon and these heaters burn through fuel like crazy.

Try to match the BTU to the space you need, 10,000 BTU can do 500 sqft and is 1 gallon per 12 hours on average

If you want to heat your house up fast, set a fan behind the stove, sitting above the top of the heater. It will heat up a place in about 15 mins.

@@americanbackroadcreations and it’s definitely 4 hours per gallon zero smell that’s a super bonus.
