Sears Heater

Does anyone have information on this? Got it from a neighbor.

The instructions on the side says to pour some gas on the top and light.
Does the gas in the tank wick up?

The Coleman instructions say fill the tank with Camp Fuel (Coleman fuel) and then use a squirt bottle to pour fuel in an "X" shape over the dome then light (outdoors is safest). Should catch and give off heat in about 5 minutes or so for about 6 hours. The fuel wicks up from the tank and is burned by the catalytic element under that snuffing dome.

Be careful with this since using it in a small area will produce too much Carbon Monoxide and you may not wake up (I almost didnt in my Scotty Sportsman one evening with the one I had) If used in a non airtight space they work great!

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'm a sucker for old time stuff.

Just pour the fuel on top and light it up. Be prepared for flames about 3 foot high for a little while. When the heater gets going it is very safe as far as fire safety. It is even safe to add fuel while it is working. Or to pour the fuel out while it is going and let the beast run dry. Yes it is safe. I have poured fuel on mine and all that happens is it vaporises very quickly. Just don't do that around any open flames then all bets are off. I have also put a wood shaving on the grill right next to the element and after a long while it begins to turn brown. It just will not hardly start anything on fire and you would really have to work with it to make it. I would not let plastics near it as I don't want to find out it will make a molten mess on my heater. Just have ventilation.
