It's cold and dark and my furnace just turned on. We had a ton of rain today and I can't get to my wood pile unless I'm willing to slog through about 4 inches of standing water and mud. I guess I'll have to burn oil.
I always keep a few gallons of kerosene handy, for any of a fistful of Aladdin mantle lamps. Typically ~3500 BTU/hr each, and about 24 hrs on a fillup. Totally odorless. Move a/r to whatever room desired.
Takes the sting out of oil consumption. Lets me avoid firing up genset(s) for most power outages.
Aladdin lamps were a wonderful invention. Heat and light. Wife gets nervous when I drag them out. Mantels are expensive to say the least and I've thought of selling them off.
