How long does a gallon of karosene last at a moderate heat setting? Or a range of time from a low to high setting.

Our heater will last about 8 hours on a gallon on a low setting which keeps our 2000 square foot ranch home (our home is very open). We clean our wick about every 2 weeks). Using a high setting will really use up the kerosene

After the unit warms up (5-10 mins), it kicks out PLENTY of heat at the lowest wick setting. I've never tried keeping it at a higher setting because I haven't needed it. If you're warming <2000 sq ft, this unit can handle it at a low setting. Tank is 1.9 gal and gets me about 12 hours of heat, so north of 6 hours per gallon I suppose.

I heat a 32x32 shop and don't leave it on constantly, on and off every other hour to keep it warm. A 5lb tank will last me about 5 days heating only in the 10 hour period there in an average outside tempeture of 30 degree

Jeff forgot to write you back my apologies, I set my burner at medium and it takes anywhere from 6-7 minutes. It conducts heat very well, and I use it every day and see no warping. I would strongly recommend this for pour-over coffee methods

I find it depends a bit on the bottle for some reason, and what temp you are cooking at. But I get at least 45 minutes on fairly high heat. Easily an hour on medium. But YMMV

I guess I am late on a reply. But I have been using for a while and has been stored for 6 months without issues (moderate conditions). I wouldn't want to store fuel for longer than 10 months anyway. When I get that long something is wrong. (Just dump in car and buy more gas). But using this during the winter in NJ works great!

It seems like its about a gallon. Not sure about the exact spec. And in general it doesn't seem to last as long as I think it should.

I'm not sure of the exact amount of time, but I'd estimate several hours with constant use. I've had no issues with it becoming too hot...something I noticed frequently when I had an hp.

You are better at reading directions than I am. I always use high heat to bring water to boil. Have used this way for 10 months without any problems. However, I immediately take kettle off burner when it reaches boiling. I imagine that using a lower setting to boil will probably make it last somewhat longer.

It will last app. 12 hours on a tank, the nice feature of this cooler is that when it starts getting a little low you can use the built in timer, from 1 to 4 hours. This thing is worth the money.

I'm not sure which setting I use but the medium setting lasts for about 2 hours. It's a nice unit for aroma therapy with oils.

According to the manufacturer this unit uses .46 gallons per hour, but that is running continuously on high. Therefore, it should last about 43 hours at that level. Actual length of time would depend on factors like how cold it is outside, how high you set the thermostat, the size of space being heated, and how much insulation it has. When it's around freezing outside mine kicks on about 1/3 of the time on natural gas so I would expect it to last six days on a tankful if I switched it to propane. If the natural gas stops flowing I will simply hand it next to the window, run the supply line through the cracked window, and fill in the rest with a towel. Another advantage of this one over a cheap tank topper is that it has a low oxygen sensor so you do not have to worry about going to sleep with it on. Mine has been on all winter for four years and the only time the sensor shuts it down is when the jet needs cleaned which only required a drinking straw and lungs.

I honestly cannot recall exactly. It lasted a long time. I want to say 1/2 ounce per gallon.

Yes, I actually set a pot on until boiling... Great for adding humidity. And yes kerosene does degrade, and seems to thicken over time. Or at least mine did.

I have mixed a gallon and let the remainder sit for up to 3 weeks. I mix it in a garden sprayer and when I do not not use it all, I compress the sprayer as much as I can before I let it sit. I am not sure if compressing it is what is keeping or the mixture just last but the mixture still works.

the kerosene heater has a capacity of 1.9 gallons, with high fame without smoke it can last 10 to 12 hours.

I've used it over a medium gas flame dozens of times. It's always my practice to start on low heat for about 20 to 30 seconds and then up it to a medium flame. I put it back on the stove (same burner turned off) to let the tea steep. And then I leave it there or move it to another unlit burner. I never place it on the counter or in the sink while it's hot. I read somewhere that glass cookware can break if it comes into contact with cold water while it's hot. After the kettle has cooled I place it in the sink to wash it. With glass it's always safest to avoid sudden temperature changes.

I have a gas stove so it is on an open flame. I just do not use too high a setting. Medium heats up very quickly.
