Portable Keroseen Heater Flame

Featured Replies

I just bought a Dyna - Glo portable keroseen heater and wondering about the flame color
Ive run my first full tank of keroseen through it and dry buring the wick now.

I think I should need a blue flame the best I could adjust it was about 1/2 of flame blue with yellow tips . If I lowered it any lower it would turn orange.

The manual says to keep it at 1/2 in flame hight at top of of burner.
If I crank it down to the 1/2 in. its a dirty orange - to get into the blue flame I would say the flame is closer to 1 inch hight.

Im using new, clean, no water - K1 keroseen

Any Ideas?
Thanks Ron

Not familiar with that heater, but I have a Keroheat CV2230.
Always burn yellow orange. No blue.
Keeps my 14 x 20 tool room nice and toasty on low.

Stick with the 1/2" flame height. Blue is not the color.

Mine runs yellow orange. They always seem to burn a little rich and I have never seen one that produced a blue flame.

Ours burns pretty orange and runs on all different types of fuel, you can use diesel, kerosine, and some types of oil.

Not trying to hijack your thread but iv'e always wondered how safe are these things to use in a closed up shop? This is my first year using one.

Mine burns more of an orange also. When I first got mine, I kept trying to get this blue flame. Spent more time messin with the heater than hammering. Now I just crank it up and light it. Works fine.

Mine also burns a bright orange yellow flame. I just put a new wick in it, and it took a while to get soaked and quit smoking. It is pretty cost effective for me, heats my shop to 70 on high in about 20 minutes, then I start the forge. Burns less than a gallon on the average Saturday.
