How long does a wick last?

exactly.it all depends on how long you run it,depends on the wick changing.

Our cold season runs mid-November to late March, sometimes early April. In my DH2304 I replace the wick every October so it's fresh for the cold season. During the cold season, the kerosene heater is my main source of heat so it is used pretty much all day every day.

I bought a similar model and a spare wick from Sears in 1981. I only burn about 5 gallons of kerosene a year. I installed the spare wick 12 years ago and it still works fine. When you start getting a low flame, hard to light, and/or bad odors while it is burning, take it outside when it's almost empty, turn it up high and let it burn until all the fuel is gone and it goes out by itself. That is what my manual says to do clean the wick.

I just bought the heater 2 months ago after my father had one for 5 years. I never asked him how often he had to change the wick however I have been running mine for 2 months 2 - 3 times a day 1 - 2 hours each time. Just yesterday it seemed the flame was acting up so I read the manual and you must clean the wick every so often. I am just about to do just that. I will update you on the outcome.

all depends on what setting you have the fan on, the temperature and the humidity. on days that were 100 degrees or better, a tank might last 6 hours.

It does not have a wick. Open the top, place a heat source (lighted match or lighter) in the container and the fuel will begin to burn. When done, just replace the cap and it snuffs out the flame.

Suposedly the wick should work but the steel carrier is different. Check milestairs for more info . They have a whole link on it . Hope it helps you .

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 have not timed it but it probably depends on the flame setting. I think I heard it goes an average of about 1 hour, but I have not yet used a full canister.

Take the housing (shell) off. The wick simply skids off and the new one goes on like a sock. The old one will be a little messy so have a hand wipe nearby. Be very careful as the metal edges are all sharp!

We usually get about 5-6 hours out of each one, and the butane bottle lasts about twice that. They really do work very well! We were skeptical about the product, but purchased and now use all the time.

The inserts last for about 4 to5 hours the butane last for about 12 hours. I might be paying a little more to use these over using sprays but nothing gets on my skin which is a BIG plus if you have skin problems. Hope this helps.

I had a probable wick problem with mine and sent it back. Don't wait too long if you can't figure it out. Sending it back was actually quite easy.

About 6 - 8 hours depending on the height of the wick, I usually refill it every day in the winter. I only use it from late afternoon to bedtime.

Mine lasted 30 minutes, before it blew up. Longer than some others I guess.

you will use a lot of briquettes to cold smoke fish etc . one lasts 20 minutes, so to smoke over 2 days is a lot.

I have a 22.5 WSM and it can go 12 hrs using lump. I can only guess on a 18 WSM and that guess would be around 8 hrs give or take. Remember the outside (ambient) air temp will greatly effect burn length.

I don't know the type of wick. If I have trouble lighting it, I turn the lamp upside down to saturate the wick first. Hope that helps!

It really depends on how much smoke you are blowing through it. It could last you anywhere from 3 days to 3 months. It really just depends
