What a $$$ Saver,

"I got this heater way back in 2001. I am a work-at-home medical transciprtionist. I originally got it because my first home office was hard to heat. After getting this heater my office soon was referred to as the "Florida Room." I brought it with me to my next 2 apartments, and it was a lifesaver when the power went out in the dead of winter. Three years ago I purchased a home, and it now sits in my offce keeping it nice and cozy on those cold winter mornings without having to load the wood furnace or turn up the thermostat. The only down side is the wick is kind of difficult to change, but I've only had to deal with this 2x. It runs for hours on a single fill-up and saves me a lot of $$$. My dog and cat love to curl up in front of it and keep me company while I work. Definitely recommend this product."

kerosene heater,
October 19, 2009
By cabinfever
from MIchigan
"The heater I purchased arrived timely and was easy to unpack/assemble. The kerosene smell was bad for a couple days then got better, its a problem for all kerosene products, not just this one. It is plenty of heat to warm my two bedroom cabin. Tank lasts about 6 hour at high heat. The customer service from Northern Tool was excellent when I had questions about the smell and on ther products too."

10,600 BTU Radiant Kerosene Heater, Model# CT-1100,
November 24, 2008
By Anonymous
"I've been running 2 of these heaters for years now as our primary heating source and love them. With proper wick cleaning maintenance these heaters provide a great heating supply.
The add says 10 to 12 hours, this is very wrong. My heaters run for 19 hours after the wick is properly adjusted. 19 hours folks.
Compared to the convection heater 10 to 12 hours is correct. These heaters have a 1.9 gallon tank compared to my 1 gallon tank.
The biggest problems i read that most people have is smell, and the wick being unpinned. Believe me, dry burning your wick regularly and proper wick height your guarantied no smell during operation other than shutdown or startup. This cannot be avoided unless you take it out side.
Otherwise this is a great little heater! no ifs ands or buts about it! I highly recommend this heater before they are gone!"

Favorite heater for movie night,
November 17, 2008
By shoebear
from Colorado Springs, CO
"My den is half underground and my split-level house allows all warm are to flow to the upper levels, so the den gets chilly in the winter. My den has a fireplace, but this heater on the hearth is a lot easier and gives much the same benefit. My kids love it and vie with each other to get the spot in front of the heater.
I light the heater and top off the fuel tank in the garage, then carry the tank down to the den (the heater holds enough fuel internally to run 20 min or so without the tank). By that time, the heater has warmed up enough so it doesn't produce any odor. Then I carry the lit heater down to the den and put the tank in. When finished, I carry the tank out, then the heater, then shut it off in the garage. Doing this is a pain, but it keeps the startup and shutdown odors in the garage. The heater without the tank is reasonably light (perhaps 10 lbs?) and easy to carry because of handles on the sides. When the heater is hot, I can run it all day and have only a very slight kero odor in the house.
I also use it to keep my uninsulated garage from freezing on very cold nights. I use an electric heater (1500W) down to single digit lows, then switch to this heater (10,600 BTU/hr = about 3100W) for protection to about -10. I have a larger kero heater for even colder nights.
I give it only 4 stars because the wick is harder to replace and to adjust than a pin-type wick, and it's a chore to get to. Also, kerosene is about $1/gal more than diesel in my area (Colorado), so it's pretty expensive to run. This isn't the heater's fault, but it's still a valid purchase decision factor.
The only thing I think that would be better for movie night would be a natural gas radiant heater permanently installed. That's something I may do someday."

Big Heat For A Small Price,
October 16, 2008
By Dustee
from Manassa, CO
"I first used a kerosene heater back in the 1980s to help heat my home in Great Falls, MT. This newer model is similar in design but has added safety features and an easy to fill fuel tank. I use it mostly at night when the temps get down near zero and it keeps the furnace in the house from running constantly. I live in a rual area and kerosene is easy to find, just make sure there is a source of it nearby. Kerosene can be ordered via the internet, although it gets a bit pricey."

Keeping warm in Alaska,
January 21, 2008
By srmac2007
from Delta Jct., AK
"I used this heater in my travel trailer during my seasonal employment in Tok, Alaska. The heater provided nice even heat when the temps dropped into the teens overnight. It would last through the night. The design allowed for placement near a wall on the back. The removable fuel tank also made for easy outside re-fueling with out moving the heater. This would be a great heater for garage or small cabin."

Great product!!!,
January 14, 2008
By JTarpley
from Philadelphia, PA
"I bought three of these heaters for my three story home to replace the big round ones that where old and worn out. I thought I would have to run all three at the same time to get the warmth level I wanted without having to turn up the thermostat. To my surprise I only needed to run one of heater to cover the second and three floors. This is really a great product."
