How does a kerosene heater heat?
A kerosene heater has a wick made of fiberglass that is connected to a kerosene tank. When the wick is lit, the kerosene keeps the wick burning, and a convection unit in the heater uses the flame to heat the air. In some kerosene heaters, there is a fan to blow the heated air into the room to heat it faster.

What is propane vs kerosene cost per BTU?
1gal. Propane = 91600 BTUs 1gal. Kerosene = 135000 BTUs To heat 1,000,000 BTUs it would cost: 10.91 gals of Propane x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) 7.4 gals of kerosene x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Remember this is at 100% efficiency. If you are working with something less efficient you must multiply the fuel btu by the efficiency. For example: Propane Furnace that is 80% efficient. 1,000,000 / (91600 x .8) = 13.6 gals 13.6 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Kerosene furnace that is 60% efficient. 1,000,000 / (135,000 x .6) = 12.3 gals 12.3 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Hope this helps good luck
