Americans eventually stopped using kerosene primarily due to the rise of electricity as a more convenient and efficient energy source for lighting and heating. The development of electric lighting technology made it safer and easier to illuminate homes and businesses without the risks associated with kerosene lamps. Additionally, the widespread availability of natural gas further contributed to the decline of kerosene usage for heating and cooking. As infrastructure for electricity and gas improved, kerosene became largely obsolete in many households.

How do I stop my gas fireplace from smelling like kerosene?

If you gas fire smells it is VERY IMPORTANT that you stop using it immediately and that you get a professional, qualified gas fire engineer to come and service it and check the flue. The reason for this is that a faulty fire can produce a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO) which you can not smell or taste. This gas will kill you and is responsible for may "faulty fire" related deaths a year. The fact that you can smell kerosene from the fire indicates that fumes are leaking back into your living area and the likelihood is that CO is too. STOP USING THE FIRE!
