is so stupid

you know them kero-sene heaters, the little white 2' foot dyno-glo type, with a barrel chrome cage around them.. them kind.

anyone ever notice the base getting hot?

If I can touch it.. she's a long way from bloeing up

but she's right hot

thing is.. the fuel tank is heating up, the kero is getting hot inside the tank

aaaaaahhh, if I was outside I would say.. let it eat... let it burn

but in here... I must not burn the house down

I'm wandering just how hot the layer of fuel is getting.. it's vapor...

I bet it's everybit of 400 deg at the vapor level in the tank

Then you are doing something seriously wrong. Mine never gets so hot I can't put my hand on it.

Hopefully you are a troll, but if not, i would encourage you to turn it off until you get it fixed.

you want me to be a troll?

nah, I turned it off.

I don't need 1.5 gallons of 400 degree kerosene setting by my bed I did it last night.. it was fine

but my other heaters... they don't get that hot at the base

I need to get if off the damn floor a little.. it's long since lost it's under-liner pan.. just a bare-bone flame and barrel.. the lid just sets there

it's clean it burns hot... it will run you out of a 4 bedroom house in a minute

I want to put jet fuel in them

You made a mistake in the subject line.

It should read:

I'm so stupid.

With a user name like that, we're supposed to take him seriously?

lol, I play the piano and sing see.. I was working on the U2 song called "sometimes you can't make it on your own"

after several hours of practice, I just started singing the hook "sometimes you get naked on the phone"...

heh heh

YES TAKE ME SERIOUS

i put that heater out of commission... the base was getting hot one thing I should do is return the kero-heater underliner pan this will allow more air to keep the tank cool

after that, I can't think of anything

Im not really worried about 250-300 deg steel next to kerosene it takes about 1200 degress to light it (even the vapor) it's just the idea

and pre-heating any oil is standard when it comes to being efficient so hell! I should be happy about the pre-heated wick oil
