People will say these are dangerous and you shouldn't use them. As long as you follow basic safety precautions like having appropriate ventilation and a carbon monoxide detector you'll be fine. I would store the fuel somewhere else though.
Also, if you can find 1-K kerosene at a gas station, it's usually like half the price of that Kleen-Heat you're using.
That is the air tube, and also serves as a handle.
Air is drawn in through the tube, into a chamber below the burner assembly, to supply the flame with oxygen from below.
Functionally, this lamp works like a cold blast tubular kerosene lantern . This makes it brighter, more efficient, and makes it have a more stable flame than traditional kerosene table lamp.
Yeah, oil lamps are great tools for emergency situations. When the power goes out, flashlights are nice, but might not always work. An oil lamp will never fail you unless it gets physically broken. You can fill an oil lamp with fuel, and leave it for 50 years. Then when you go to light it, it will still work.
Aladdin Lamps are where it's at with kerosene emergency lighting. They put out the same amount of light as a 75 watt light bulb.
My 2001 Honda Rancher ATV that I've had since new. It's not big or fancy, but it just works. I've never needed to do anything but basic maintenance on it, and it starts and runs better than all of my friends ATVs.
My 1910s Dietz Bestov Hand Lamp. It may not be an everyday use item, but it's always good to have a backup light source around. This particular one has stood the test of time, and is still in near mint condition.

Nice! I like to keep a few kerosene heaters around Incase of power outages. I actually just restored this 1920s Perfection Firelight heater.
