Does the Dyna Glo 75,000-BTU Kerosene Forced Air Heater work with both kerosene and power? I am looking for a heater to use if I am out of power.

I ordered this for my husband. I am not as knowledgeable about it as he is, but I think it only works on kerosene. We have bought kerosene 1 and 2 and it says you can use diesel #1 but I spoke to someone at the co-op about it and he said it would release black smoke. he said even the k2 will but as long as you won't be using it very long sitting in the same spot that it shouldn't be a problem. I don't think you can run it with electricity because when we were out of kerosene my husband was nagging me like crazy about how cold it was. If it ran off power he would have just plugged it in.

Yes you have to have 110v A/C power for the blower to work. It will work off of A/C plus either Kerosene or #1 diesel fuel.

I bought this generator in December. I didn't try using it until June. Put gas in it. It started but didn't generate any electricity. Going to call buffalo tools monday. May have bought a piece of junk.

I checked the back of mine and it doesn't list BTU's it just lists 1500 watts. But I can tell you that this has been the best heater I love it! I purchased it last year around this time. I use it to take the chill off In my master bedroom and can adjust it with no problem without getting out of bed. I'm very pleased and think you will be happy and it not u can always return it . I have had no issues or problems with this heater. Good luck !

Yes. It can use either propane or natural gas. My unit came ready for propane but changing fuel type was a simple procedure. It works well -- heats both floors of my two story home.

No. Most electric space heaters range between 500-1800watts, which would exceed the 300watts limit of the Duracell DRPP300 Powerpack!

I am not sure what that question means. I have a large house with an addition but I have to shut off the electric heat in the addition. I have a 200amp breaker box with a 100 amp linked service in my addition. One of my water heaters is gas but the other is electric. I shut off the electric unit while using the generator. You have to be careful as some devices use strange amounts of electricity while starting up. I would not run my washer and dryer during this type of event. This unit has plenty of power but you a good electrician to tell you if you can run business as usual with this unit. I purchased this unit because it has a 50amp plug. Most units only have 30amp plugs. good luck.

like any port. kero. heater,it will run dirty due to poor fuel.stick with k-1 and it will run clean and quite.rember these heaters are for well ventilated areas.

My husband said 'no'. Heater works great. Maybe a different model could be operated that way. Judy.

NO IT DOESN'T. They will not start my 15,000 btu A/C. According to Amazon, 2 of these units hooked in parallel puts out 3600 watts, but according to the instruction with the Generator, they only put out 3000 watts, which is not enough to start my A/C. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.

Kerosene is not cheap. It is more expensive than diesel fuel, which is a lot more than gas. It also can be hard to find depending on where you live. If it was me I'd just go with an electric oil filled radiator for the safety and convenience factor... the operating cost will be similar. No fuel to worry about (and carry around, and refill, and spill), no flames to worry about, no CO to worry about. Really the only advantage of a kerosene heater is if you don't have any power to run an electric. And in that case I'd prefer a propane heater to kerosene anyway.

No, it only works with kerosene. Use of coleman fuel in a kerosene lantern would be extremely hazardous. This is a fantastic kerosene lantern, very bright. Requires preheat with denatured alcohol to light (thus the spirit cup at the base of the generator). Kerosene is much cheaper than coleman fuel and much safer because it is non-explosive. I highly recommend this lantern.

Well, make sure you have the correct Mr. Heater. Propane gas is different than Natural gas. But, yes, a Propane powered Mr. Heater will work with a smaller size propane tank. I have a Natural Gas Mr. Heater. Use it almost every day. It is located in the garage, hooked up to the gas line that feeds the hot water heater. Read instructions relating to venting. I do not vent mine, but have some fresh air from garage door leaks.

You must have "gas" to use this heater. If you don't have gas in your home then this type of heater will not work. If you have an all electric home. I suggest contacting your gas company for advice on the type of heater to get. I'm not an expert at all.

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

Unfortunately no... I think with new safety regulations that this is going to be much harder to find. You would need an older space heater that has a mechanical switch where you can plug it into a timer and once power is available it just turns on. This is a 2 step process that when power is available that you must then turn it on. Our bed heater is the same way now. We used to have it just automatically turn on but with this newer model we need to turn it on and if we forget it's a cold sleep for a little while :-) http://www.laskoproducts.com/usermanuals/6101InfraredQuartzHeater.pdf

The Generator is about 1600 watts continuous and 2000 surge. The total watts has to be less than 1600. Space heaters draw a lot of power. I have a small one that has two levels, 750 watts and 1500 watts. As you can see on the 1500 watt setting there isn't much room left. I think this generator would power a refrigerator and small TV easily. The heater depends on the wattage.

No. This heater has jets for 'natural gas only'. Look for a model advertised for 'propane' if thats what you need. Propane is more volatile than natural gas and if connected to this heater would result in a very large yellow flame and would be a dangerous thing to do.
