Because it burns much cleaner. No worries running a salamander on kero in the garage all day

No worries running it on diesel inside all day either but I think that's a side effect lol

My wife loves these things but I think her average is like 3 months before something gets toasted.

We reuse the parts that we can, but it's hardly a long term item.

Kerosene

Toxicity

>The World Health Organization considers kerosene to be a polluting fuel and recommends that “governments and practitioners immediately stop promoting its household use”. Kerosene smoke contains high levels of harmful particulate matter, and household use of kerosene is associated with higher risks of cancer, respiratory infections, asthma, tuberculosis, cataract, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Ingestion of kerosene is harmful. Kerosene is sometimes recommended as a folk remedy for killing head lice, but health agencies warn against this as it can cause burns and serious illness.

I know it is great device but I would recommend you to stop using it. Kerosene fumes are dangerous and can cause cancer.

If there is not enough oxygen in the room, the heater starts to produce CO:

Every year, at least 420 people die in the U.S. from accidental CO poisoning. More than 100,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning..

I'm not sure on that. A qualified shoe cobbler could tell.

> Antennas are generally full wave

Full wave whips don't work, though... so you wouldn't see one here. You'd have to go dipole or loop, neither of which makes sense in a mobile application.

5 years for something used daily for hours and taken in and out of a pocket is pretty damn good.

I can't even get a phone to last 5 years.

Salad Master for cookware Kitchenaide stand mixer

I prefer Demeyre for the cookware, Oxo for utensils.

‘Products that are well-made and durable (even if they won’t last an lifetime) are accepted’

For a phone handle 5 years is several lifetimes.

It’s all fun until your tank gives out.

TIL what those things are called, finally

I dunno, are you the garage?

Liberty Tabletop- flatware (really great seriously) Rada- knives/utensils 360 Cookware- awesome pots and pans

5 years are far from a lifetime...

In Belgium it's even mandatory to do maintain gas heater every 2 year. You get a document from your technician.

What are some of these “solo wilderness” channels you speak of?

Kerosene is also known as AvGas. It's a special kind of fuel that's more refined.

That sounds… expensive (why does kerosene cost 3x more than diesel ?)

Fwiw On boats it’s about how high it is, so it can get past the horizon

DO NOT renew this. Those stains mean something more than a fresh coat of paint.

Seconding the use of citric acid for descaling, cleaning, disinfecting, and rust removal. It's a very powerful, versatile chemical that really doesn't get the love it deserves.

Common in Australia and some parts of Africa.
