Heating

[Deryk the Pirate]

Hey.....anyone ever think of pulling the burner out of one of those old "Perfection" kerosene heaters and make a chimney for it to vent the co2 outside, I like kerosene over propane anyday and with a 3" flue pipe it should be safer in a non sealed up trailer!

NM the prices for the perfection stoves have gone up lol

Bob....have you ever thought to burn a little coal in your stove?

Well I made up my mind and picked up the same stove as Bob Henry off ebay today...I'm on my droid but the photo of it is in my gallery. The stove needs a goin over with a wire brush and some paint...wonder if I can get bright red stovepaint lol. I can't wait to get it installled and play with it!

Thanks Steve! Once its painted up all fancy it should look great in there. I am gonna be adding an inside fire extinguisher for sure...I can't wait to get it in!

Well, I got a callback 5 days later from http://www.nuwaystove.com/model2000.php figures they were on their 1 week a year camping/hunting trip lol. I did have a lengthy conversation with them about this heater and he said they do have alot of range on the fuel knob from pilot to 12,000 btu's so its an idea for a backup plan if the mini pot belly stove gets annoying, same flue pipe size, and fairly cheap. I really like its vented.

One of my friends teases me that I try out so many things haveing been on the boat for so long...

always keep your options open, and minds are like parachutes...only work when open!
