I ran out of firewood, and I don’t have central heat, so I’m using this until the weather warms up. I have a normal house, and I placed it on the floor in my living room; it has a vaulted ceiling and is about 15 x 30. The kitchen / dining room is around the corner, it is around 12 x 30 total. The weather is 40 degrees, and my living room is toasty. The kitchen is not as toasty, but it is no longer unbearably cold. Although it does not have the visual appeal (flames, etc) of the fireplace, this heats way better.
It’s pretty easy to assemble, although I am annoyed that they pack it in styrofoam. Here are the main points:
– Read the instructions! There are some simple things that make this work perfectly, and if you don’t read the manual then you will complain like others. For example, you have to let it sit for 1 hour after you add fuel, before first use.
– Comes with wick installed, just some simple assembly, add kerosene, and light it up.
– It is silent, no fan, no noise.
– The bottom stays cold, so you can set it on any floor, even carpet.
– There is only one setting – ON. You can not adjust the heat level. Make sure you buy the model that has the heat output you want.
– There is no odor whatsoever. None. Nothing. Also no soot, no smoke, no CO (I do have CO detectors to be safe) . Again, follow the instructions and adjust the flame correctly; don’t spill fuel when filling; make sure the wick is in good shape. You don’t need Kleen Heat or any additives or any other weird modifications for it to be odorless.
– You have to hold the ignitor against the wick for a good second or two to light it. Some complain of hard lighting, that is why. You can’t simply do a “quick touch.” If you don’t want to use batteries, buy one of those long butane lighters, they work great for manual lighting.
– Most of the heat comes from the top of the unit. And yes, you could probably fry bacon in a pan, although I wouldn’t recommend it. Some heat comes off the sides, but not a ton.
– It creates a moderately bright light, basically like a kerosene lamp. The light coming through the viewing window is pretty bright, I have to face it away when I’m watching TV. Makes a good night light.
– The wick will last 2 -3 years if maintained properly. So it might be good to buy an extra, but you don’t have to stock up.
– Run time is as advertised.
– You can carry it while it is on, sort of. You have to be careful though. I tried lighting it outdoors, and carrying it inside. Carefully. Later I realized I didn’t need to do that because it just has no odor.
About the operating cost – it costs about 1 dollar per hour to run, and the cost of fuel in my area is not the cheapest (good ol’ California). Comparable electric would be over $2/hr. Natural gas would be $0.40/hr. Propane would be $1/hr. Compared to a month of firewood, it’s about the same cost. So while it costs more than natural gas, it is not overly expensive to run, and propane is definitely not cheaper.
Bottom line – great heater, and I might buy a smaller one as a backup.

Follow the instructions, it is easy to assemble and to use. Make sure you have the correct Wick, the one with 3pins.

I gave this heater 4 stars as its a quality product manufactured in the US.
I’m sure this would work efficiently and heat a large interior insulated room.
I purchased this to heat an uninsulated garage based on other reviews who said it worked well.
Well it does not. My garage is 24×20 with a storage room above.
The heater keeps you warm if you stand next to it but It does not heat the total space when the outside temp is below 0C. Wouldn’t recommend this as a sole heat source in a uninsulated garage.

So far I’m pleased with my purchase. I ordered it on a Thursday afternoon and it was on my stoop the next Monday. I set it up and lit it for the first time last night and everything worked as described. I bought it to heat the garage for winter projects, but I now realize there’s so much more potential for it. I love the ambiance and the warmth it puts out. I just purchased my first home without a fireplace and this makes a fine replacement. It warms up my kitchen and family room nicely with visible flames and a nice warm glow. I like the smaller size of it compared to the larger ones, it’s very portable and won’t have you sweating. Smell was not very noticeable inside while burning, but I did light it and extinguish it in the garage though. The k1 smell was noticeable out there. I did buy a “catalytic filter” online from Miles Stair wick shop. I’m not sure if it was helpful or not, but I’m a sucker for gadgets (like this heater) and figured it couldn’t hurt. There are other similar designed heaters out there, so similar that I’d guess they are all made by one manufacturer and privately labeled. Researching those is where I saw a review recommending the filter. All in all so far so good, I’ll see how the “dry burning” the wick thing goes soon.

I bought this to replace an older and smaller heater for my shop. This thing puts out the heat. Would recommend.

Working great, easy to assemble. Bought 2 WK24WH 23,800 heaters Mom & Dad are using in the country upstate New York, north of the Albany area. They’re using one and have the second one as an alternate, just in case. Initially they wanted them when/if the electricity goes out in the winter or during any Boiler issues to protect pipes from freezing. They use combo Smoke/Carbon M. detectors on all levels of their house. Dad said they spoil themselves when the temps are below 40 and only use one for the living areas. Also said, no kicking on base boards for heat saving some wear and tear on the Boiler. He said don’t be lazy and follow the instructions for wick maintenance after 2 or 3 tank fills. It’s basically using a brush after a dry burn on the top of the wick. Also said, carry & fill the tank outside/garage/patio, not inside the house!! They use the local red dyed K-1 with no issues at all. He passed on he called GHP who replaced a Fuel Gauge free of charge and with free shipping cause of a crack on the top. He thinks whoever placed that unit inside the Styrofoam/Packaging pushed on the clear plastic lens. Hope this was helpful.

I love this heater! It was easy to set up and the customer service was great too. I contacted them before I purchased and they told me all the things I needed to know. It takes a specific type of kerosene the 1K Heater Fuel Kerosene. The smell is not bad at all, and yes it does heat up! It was easy for me to light the wick, and I like the way you can adjust the wick too.
