RESOURCE INFORMATION:
Kerosene Heater Wicks:
Kerosene Heater Information: I have had many reports of flame "dwindling" or poor performance of heaters. This is caused by poor capillary action, the result of water in the fuel: It only takes a teaspoon of accumulated water to saturate the cotton lower portion of a wick.

Postage is added per the amount of purchase. For US delivery, up to $9.00* is $4.95; $9.01 to $29.00 is $5.95 - usually two heater wicks and an igniter are mailed for a low $5.95 postage. First Class (up to 13 oz) or Priority Mail. Anything over 1/4'' thick must now be sent at the package rate, and now all packages weighing 8 ounces or less are the same postage cost. It now costs as much to mail a 1/4 ounce igniter as it does a heavy wick! I had held the line on what I charged for postage delivery for 10 years but this postage increase was just too much and I had no choice but to raise prices. To upgrade a wick order from First Class to Priority Mail delivery, click the Add to Cart button below.

I do not have a store – I just sell online. I’ve been selling kerosene
products, mostly wicks, since 1997. Virtually all of my wicks are made by the
best wick maker in the world, Hattersley in England. Wicks are made to
my specifications and tested in my own
extensive collection
of heaters, lamps and stoves.
I keep all wicks in stock all year for those who want to be prepared for winter in advance. I ship wicks worldwide and in fact have the best list and selection of wicks for heaters sold in Europe, Australia and Scandinavia. In 2005 I noticed that except for Rayo lamps, wicks for center draft lamps had not been made since before WW II. I purchased many Victorian Era lamps of various sizes, measured original wicks, tested new wicking for diameter, thickness and capillary action, and had the full range of center draft wicks made by Hattersley in England.
Proper Victorian Era center draft chimneys had not been manufactured since the
Depression, so after considerable testing I had the best samples replicated in
borosilicate glass.
Many larger sizes of flat wicks for
European
Kosmos lamps had also been unobtainable for decades so I had them made by
Hattersley after testing for weave, thickness and capillary action in my own
collection of lamps.
http://www.milesstair.com/flat_lamp_wicks.html#KOSMOS
The proper chimneys for many Kosmos lamps had also not been made since the
1930’s, so I had them made from borosilicate glass.
http://www.milesstair.com/Sans_Rival_Chimney.html
Student lamps made from 1875 through WW I did not have good chimneys
available, so I had them made.
The old sad iron
heaters similarly had not had new wicks available since before WW II, so
after testing thickness, width, and capillary action I also had them made.
http://www.milesstair.com/flat_lamp_wicks.html#Sad_Iron
Kindler wicking for gravity-fed stoves made by Boss, Florence and many other stoves from before WW II had not been readily available so I carry the full line of kindler wicking.
By 2008 I had more information on kerosene stoves, heaters and center draft
lamps on this website than all other websites in the world combined and was
the largest independent seller of kerosene heater and center draft lamp wicks
in the world.
We have worked very hard to earn your trust and respect. We still work seven days a week processing orders. Every order is acknowledged upon receipt. All orders are shipped every day except Sundays and holidays at noon and delivery information and a tracking number sent to your email address - there are no delays in shipping orders.

Selected Customer "Feedback" ~~~~~~~~~ your friendly communications were much appreciated ~~~~~~~~~ 9.23.2020 - Hi Miles - I just wanted to say my two
chimneys arrived with me today in perfect condition and really
well packed. Thanks so much for taking care to pack them so well
and I notice that both the Sans Rival and NeoVulcan are both
heavy grade glass and beautifully finished. I can't wait to try
them out! Thanks again! P. Gurr in OZ ~~~~~~~~~ 8.15.2020 - Last year I used your site extensively to research buying kero heaters ~~~~~~~~~ 1.12.20 - To the Wick Shoppe – Thank you for your quality
products, fast shipping and informative and educational we site.
Sincerely, A Satisfied Customer, D. Stein, Portland OR ~~~~~~~~~ 10.17.19 - "Miles, We are impressed! Only 2 1/2 days from
order to door. We can't even mail a package across town in that
length of time. You should be proud of your prompt service. We
will definitely recommend your business to our family and
friends. Thank you, Robert Plunkard. (Oregon to PA) ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ GOOD EVENING MILES. THE WICK I ORDERED FROM YOURSELF (Paraglo
heater) ARRIVED TODAY SAFE & SOUND IN IRELAND. I AND MANY OTHERS
APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO FOR THE KEROSENE COMMUNITY. YOURS
THANKFULLY. ROBERT DUNNE ~~~~~~~~~~ 2.13.17. I would first like to thank you for your
wonderful website. Thanks to you and your site I have cleaned up
an old, over 30 years, Toyostove RB-2A Kerosene Heater that my
parents used to use back in the 1980s. I have it working quite
fine now. Also want to thank you for the wonderful tip about how
to get the Kerosene smell off of your hands by using cheap
shampoo and hand sanitizer. Wonderful, works great! D.
Chewning, Virginia ~~~~~~~~~ Your wick for my OR77 arrived today. Super fast service even
given the Thanksgiving holiday! When I opened the package I
could immediately see that your wicks are far far superior to
the other 2 purchased online from other vendors that have been
total failures. And I do mean TOTAL failures. Your wick appeared
to me to have about double the material in it - especially the
fiberglass top ring. So, I installed it in this cute little P.
I. T. A. heater. It has never ever worked properly from the day
I purchased it brand spanking new. I let the wick stand as
installed in the fuel sump for a half hour or 45 minutes then
lit her up. SURPRISE! It lit instantly and turned the globe red
within a few minutes - no smell, no smoke, no hastle, no pops or
whistles. It just burns and burns right. ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to thank you. My success oil lamp is working
beautiful thanks to both the information on your site ( on
dismantling stuck wicks) along with the new wick and
installation sheet. Thanks again K. Spares, Nova Scotia. ~~~~~~~~~ Mr Stair- Just wanted to send a quick note back to let you
know that I received my two wicks and am very happy with the
quick shipping as well as with the great quality of the wicks. I
have yet to install and burn either, but in comparison with some
"home depot" wicks that we've got around here, they seem to be a
more high quality product. I must say that I have received hours
of enjoyment perusing your site and learning an enormous amount
about kerosene appliances. I grew up in a home on Long Island
during the oil crisis of the 1970's-80's where we used a Corona
22DK every winter for supplemental heat, and I recall as a child
being sent out to "the drum"- a 55 gal drum with a petcock
cradled in an x-type frame of 2x4's, to fill 5 gal cans almost
on a daily basis during the winters. More recently, after
Hurricane Sandy, both my family and my folks were flooded out of
our homes, but amazingly I was able to mail order a Dura Heat
heater from northern tool and have it delivered within a day!
Although there was NO gas to be had, I could still get red-dye
kero from the pump less than 2 miles from the floodwaters... It
certainly helped us to be able to hunker down in our own home,
avoid looters and generally made things easier.. So, since then,
I've found myself outfitting my family, my folks and a number of
friends with kero heaters and lamps that I've been finding on
craigslist and at garage sales and fixing up. Thanks so much for
your exhaustive treatment of the entire "kerosene world" and the
information and inspiration that your site has provided to me.
Sincerely, Dr. Adrian L., MD, NY ~~~~~~~~~ October 26, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~ October 20, 2015 Thank you for your services! The wicks arrived in 14 days to
Romania, very fast and prompt service. The wicks are wery well!
Best regards, Silviu ~~~~~~~~~ April 15, 2015 Hiya and greetings to you from Ireland! My wicks arrived
yesterday morning!!!! Brilliant service as always! 6 days! It
takes a week to get a letter from the UK to here and its only
300 miles!!! Lol! Thank you once again. Pat H ~~~~~~~~~Feb. 26, 2015 Miles, I received my wicks today (post office had a delay or
they would have been here yesterday). I changed one and noticed
immediately the difference in quality. I have used Kero World
wicks in the past, the last was a total disaster! Each time I
changed a wick I noticed that it just didn't fit quite right, it
took quite a long time to get the wick to lay flat. They just
seemed to be a tad too big for the sleeve. The wick I got from
you fit perfectly, it was a breeze to change.
Andrea S. in CT ~~~~~~~~Feb. 9, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~Feb. 3, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~Jan. 12, 2015 Just a word of thanks for the quick turnaround on the order
for my Sans Rival chimney. Ordered Friday evening, shipped
Saturday, received Monday! Unbelievably fast! Jim in FL ~~~~~~~~~Jan. 12, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~Jan. 8, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~Dec. 8, 2014 ...ordered the wick ONLINE...paid via PayPal...you shipped
the SAME DAY as the order (22.Nov.14) and they arrived all the
way from Oregon on 24.Nov.14. (2 days). Great Service and Great
Price...Great UPDATE E-Mails...we'll be back for MORE. Andy &
Lucy J., PA ~~~~~~~~~November 3, 2014 I just wanted to thank you for incredibly fast service! I
ordered these wicks from you on Saturday, November 1 (when I
received the email from you stating that you had sent them the
same day I thought: "hmm... maybe I got him just before he went
to the post office" ), and when I went to my mail box today
(Monday, Nov. 3rd) they had already arrived! Clear across the
country and via USPS which is doubly astonishing. Again, thank
you very much for your excellent service. C. Norman, PA ~~~~~~~~~October 27, 2014 I am in receipt of your mailing of my wick order. Thanks!
Subsequent to my first order from you, I tried other various
manufacturer's wicks. All paled by comparison. That is to say
the longevity was less, the capillary action
(material/construction) measured relative to a digital thermo
reading taken @ both the flame and the lantern housing top was
less and overall performance was not as great. Yours are truly
superior. I can say that as a Chief Engineer with over 35 years
experience. I'm a hands on guy who isn't easily impressed. R.
Rosati, NH. ~~~~~~~~~October 7, 2014 Fastest service and best communication I've ever seen. Will
be doing business with you again. Thank you very much. C.
Fortner, Georgia ~~~~~~~~~July 23, 2014 Thanks for the wicks they work excellent, I have been looking
for them all over Australia but they are to costly , I found
your website and was apprehensive about buying them at first,
but now I have I will be buying more in the future. I will be
letting everyone I know about your site, thanks again.
Anthony, Port Augusta South Australia ~~~~~~~~~July 18, 2014 Just a brief note to confirm that the parcel containing the
wick which I ordered arrived three days ago. I am impressed by
the prompt service. The wick has been installed and my Valor
heater, purchased in Namibia in about 1967, is functioning again
- in New Zealand - after a ten year hiatus. Thank you kindly.
Alex in NZ ~~~~~~~~~July 9, 2014 ~~~~~~~~~June 21, 2014
Hello Miles just wanted to say the wick you made for me worked
great! I need to get the right chimney for it but i put one on i
had for now. Here are a few photos of the lamp and it would not
be working if not for the wick you made.
Robert in Florida ~~~~~~~~~April 4, 2014 This website had exactly what I needed. It was easy to
navigate, the customer service was great, and the shipping was
fast. I highly recommend it!! Patrick in NC. ~~~~~~~~~March 18, 2014 ~~~~~~~~~March 11, 2014 That add on little platinum plated screen for the KeroSun is
amazing. The fumes have reduced to almost zero. I bought a new
kerosene heater but didnt even open it. As it appears the old
one with a new wick and that screen still works well. Thank you
for offering those products. J. Henkel, Texas ~~~~~~~~~March 3, 2014 ~~~~~~~~~March 2, 2014 Outstanding service and
quality wick. Product ordered Feb.18 2014 and received Feb 28
2014. Ten days to Ontario, Canada was Fast. Lorne Fergus
Ontario ~~~~~~~~~Feb. 12, 2014
Unbelievable. The difference between a wick that "fits" and the
proper wick is simply amazing. Thank you for the great
service and offering these great wicks. Brian in
Indianapolis ~~~~~~~~~Jan. 31, 2014 I received my wick for my Sears Kerosene heater today thank you. If it shipped any faster I think it would have ignited on its own. I must say I had the hardest time finding a replacement wick for it over the years never finding the perfect wick. Well, all that was solved when I came across your website. Not only was I confidently able to determine quickly and easily the exact replacement wick for my heater but I also got an education in kerosene heaters from your great website. It was a welcome change to do business with someone that actually cares about their customers and has as much enthusiasm for their products as you do. Being a business owner myself that practices this same philosophy I really appreciate it. Mark S., Morrisville, PA ~~~~~~~~~Dec. 18, 2013 The delivery from US faster then local posting!!! Great assistance through the web. This shop really cares about its customers! Not afraid of winter any more! Dorothy, Warsaw, Poland ~~~~~~~~~Nov. 29, 2013 Received my wick that I ordered in the mail today. Thank you for the prompt service of less than one week delivered and for your reasonably priced excellent product. Frank in Chilliwack BC. ~~~~~~~~~Sept. 30, 2013 Thank you. Your service is outstanding with superb communications. Wick received super fast! Much Appreciated. Grant in Illinois ~~~~~~~~~April 17, 2013 Thank you for the swift delivery of my new wick for Ruby KSP 270. Only seven to eight days and all that way to UK and all!. You have a great site and a pleasure to visit for us Paraffin fans. I shall visit again sometime soon. Meanwhile, thank you again and best regards, George. Norfolk UK. ~~~~~~~~~June 2, 2012
Many thanks, my item has been
recieved. Quick despatch to Australia and quality item.
Thank you for your fast and professional service.

~~~~~~~~~Feb. 20, 2012
~~~~~~~~~January 14, 2012 I first discovered your web site a couple of years ago when I was looking for a safe and alternative source of heating, cooking and lighting for my family in the event of an emergent situation. Being an avid emergency preparedness buff, I do a lot of research and information seeking on the web. Milestair.com is by far the most informative, complete and sound information on kerosene and its uses. You could say I was "converted" to kerosene and using your site as a guide, have purchased three (soon to be four) kerosene heaters, a stove, oven and even a kerosene lamp. I hope I have to never rely on these items as my only source, I like to be prepared as I see an eroding world situation and tyrants running our government and economic machine. Not only have I enjoyed the vast information you provide on kerosene heating, it is comforting knowing I have a go-to for all of my kerosene accessory needs from wicks to fuel pumps. Any questions I have had (which have been several) have always been answered promptly. I have always been treated respectfully and dealt with honestly. I just can't recommend a better source for my kerosene needs. My wife and I have literally become hooked to our kerosene heaters during the bitter could Missouri winters. My wife, who is cold-blooded by nature, can never seem to get warm with our home's furnace. As soon as we light up the kerosene heater, she is happy as can be enjoying the high quality intense "bon fire warmth" the kerosene heaters put out. Your site has taught me how to use heaters, maintain them, keep them in tip-top condition just to name a few. I am truly grateful for the quick speed in which my orders arrive. Lightening fast always! Your honesty and great work ethic are appreciated! You have provided a wonderful service for our family and for that we are very thankful! Adam Vance, Greenwood, Missouri ~~~~~~~~~December 13, 2011 Thank you so very much for your impossibly prompt service in
filling my order for a wick for my kerosene heater! I have been
dealing with mail order businesses for years now -- I haven't
left my home in over ten years -- but I have never seen such
remarkably fast service. I reside on ten acres of woodland in
very rural Ohio, yet my wick arrived in two days without my
having to pay extra for your service. Temperatures have been
dipping below freezing around here.... ~~~~~~~~~November 28, 2011 I got your delivery in great time. ~~~~~~~~~November 23, 2011 You do NOT receive enough positive feedback on how wonderful your site is. I have been looking for a new wick for my Kero-Sun Moonlighter for two years. I bought the heater in 1980 and have not used it since 1985. Shopping at big box stores and small hardware stores for a replacement wick was useless. I didn't have enough information about my heater to be able to choose the correct wick by simply reading the information on the packages. However, your site showed me pictures, had the owner's manual and carefully explained the different model numbers and types of wicks. I just ordered the wick today and I'm confident that when it comes it will be the correct wick and will light my stove with the loving glow it had 30 years ago. Thanks again. T. Hicks, MN. ~~~~~~~~~August 29, 2011
Just wanted to email a quick thank you for your quick and
efficient service. You shipped quickly, had an accurate
and fair shipping price for me in Canada available
immediately, and the item arrived as described and
properly protected. I will be doing business with you
again soon, and will send those from my former military,
and now Firefighting, circles to you for for what you
stock.
All the best, Greg C. in BC
~~~~~~~~~August 10, 2011
Thanks for the fast service on
the wick I ordered. Please folks if you have or are
considering any kerosene stove, heater or lamp look at
this website. Instructions on use, care and maintenance
are invaluable and free. This has been a great help to me
to find the products and information at what has to be the
best website EVER, along with great wicks at fair prices.

Dear Miles,
I purchased two wicks from you for my Kero World
heater and my what a difference. Yours burn better than
those I used to buy at the Wal Mart.
My old wicks I would have had to burn dry twice now
since I installed them, but I haven't burned this wick
dry yet because I haven't needed too.
Great products that I will be purchasing from you here
out. Many thanks!
Zach in Kentucky
~~~~~~~~~February 9, 2010
Excellent service!! Of course
with the largest snow we've had in years both of heaters were out of commission. I ordered wicks
on Saturday and on Tuesday I have them in my hands!
Thank you for your great service, and for such an information packed website!
Susan Ash, Virginia
~~~~~~~~~February 3, 2010
Got my wicks in the mail today! WOW!
I can't believe how fast you shipped them out! 3 days from Oregon to Maine is phenomenal!
Thanks! The product is a perfect match/fit and at a great price to boot!
It's a pleasure doing business with someone who actually cares for their customers!
Thanks again, Glenn
Glenn Ouimet, Maine
~~~~~~~~February 2, 2010 That was quick delivery – my order arrived yesterday! I’m writing today because I had some time to fit the new wicks into my lamps this afternoon. This is my second order from you and I’m very, very pleased. I had trouble finding the right wick for an older B&H, but the one I got from you fits and works perfectly. Thanks to your descriptions that include both dimensions and make/model references, I confidently bought wicks for a Pittsburgh Success and P&A. Maybe 100 years ago when these lamps were in common use, “everyone” knew how to fit and trim a wick and what kind of fuel to use. With your helpful advice, I’m putting my lamps to use fully confident that I’m doing it right. Regards, Dorsey, in N.J. ~~~~~~~~December 17, 2009 My husband didn’t find his much needed wicks locally, so I found your site on the web when I searched for “Kerosun Omni 15 wicks.” Didn’t know how long it would take to receive them, but we got them from Oregon to Indiana in less than 48 hours from the time we ordered them! Reasonable price, reasonable shipping, Outstanding Service!!! Thank you so very much! Happy Holidays, The Wagners ~~~~~~~~~September 22, 2009
Hi Miles. Do you have a
special in with the USPS?
I ordered the wick & chimney
on Saturday morning, and it was delivered today, MONDAY.
You and the USPS are the
pinnacle of service.
BTW, The chimney is beautiful.
I'll send you a picture when the Dresden is up and
running.
Thanks again,
Dan D. (from Mass.)

thanks steve patrick --new zealand
~~~~~~~~~February 8, 2009 (Note: Parts of Tennessee and Missouri were in the midst of a vicious ice storm. Power to many localities was out for weeks. I shipped all wicks to that area via Priority Mail.) Guess what I got in the mail today. I ordered my wick on Wednesday 2-4-09 and received it on Friday 2-6-09. I knew that when I had read the responses on your web page, everyone was excited by the quick delivery. I didn't know you could send mail from Oregon to Tennessee in one day. Thank you very much. I also appreciate the quick responses to my email questions. It has truly been a great experience doing business with you. I didn't see a place to respond to the feedback. If you can put this email on it please do. I will tell everybody I know about your web page. Again thanks for everything. May God Bless You!!! Aaron Spencer, TN ~~~~~~~~~November 24, 2008
I ordered my wicks and igniter on 11/22/08
and received today 11/24. First of all, thank you for the
super fast delivery, I am truely impressed and shocked
that such service still exists for online businesses.
I have been purchasing wicks for my Dura Heat kerosene heater from a large local retailer since they were cheaper and carried the same wick as 3 other retailers in my area. I have "burned up" 2 of their wicks in just under 6 weeks. The wicks burn up so fast while never operating properly from first installation. The height adjustment was always sticking, especially when pressing the knob to "turn off" the heater. It never once went completely down on either wick (nor could I get it to go any lower) causing the wick to burn for about 30 - 60 seconds before going out completely. After only 3 or 4 burns on the new wick, it was a major chore to get the wick to even raise without catching on something whether due to the soiled wick or bad fit. The first time I used up a wick, I thought it was something I had done wrong... whether it was the installation (even though it was a pinned wick) or the wick height while burning. I looked into the problem online and was reassured I was following proper methods for installation and burning. I found your site in my research and read about the fiberglass top and cotton bottom wicks. Since I had "burned up" the other wicks so fast, I was sold when I read about the nonburning fiberglass. I was truely impressed with wicks when I took them out of the package. The superior quality was obvious as soon as I put it in my hands. After getting the new wick installed (exactly the same as the other wicks I installed) It worked flawlessly. No hanging or sticking and when I lit it for the first time, it was very clear that I made the right choice purchasing from you. I am generating a very noticable amount of more heat with the new wick which will save me money. Thank you for your service! You have not only earned my lifelong loyalty as a customer, but all my high recommendations to anyone I talk to that would need your items. I appologize for the long email. I am hoping that it may help people in the future that come to you and your website and have any doubts that your products are any different than anything else that they have tried. I look forward to doing business with you again. Thanks Again. Ed Potts, Michigan ~~~~~~~~~October 6, 2008 I recently purchased a new wick for my old kerosene heater and one of the catalytic burners, let me tell you that I could notice as soon as I looked at the wick that it was far superior to any I had seen in the big box stores. I installed the wick just as the instructions said and installed the catalytic burner as well. The first time I fired up the heater there was a major difference in how it burned and how it smelled (there was NONE). I have read your site all the way through and will ONLY use you from now on with all my kerosene heater needs. David A, Maryland ~~~~~~~~~March 10, 2008 I wish to leave you "Feedback" like we do on Ebay... I can't believe just how fast you got this purchase to me. I ordered it on Saturday... and there it is in my mailbox on Monday ... WoW.. And thanks for using the Postal Service for your shipping needs. Wm.(Rusty) Crist Lynnwood Washington. ~~~~~~~~~March 5, 2008 Your company has to have the FASTEST service on the planet!!! I placed this order on Saturday and received it Monday. That's awesome! I will pass your name along to anyone I know who needs your products. Thanks. Raytha in PA ~~~~~~~~~January 30, 2008 I order a wick from your store on Saturday, January 26th. I received it on Monday, January 28th. I live just outside Atlanta. Thanks you for the excellent service. I installed the new wick and all is well. Keith M. ~~~~~~~~~January 8, 2008 This is the second order I have made with your site. And, for
the second time, I was very pleased with both the quality of the
wicks and the speed with which they were delivered. My
thanks to you for the excellent service!! ~~~~~~~~~December 28, 2007 Miles~ The wicks were correct and no problems installing them. The instructions were very, very explicit and detailed. I read them through once to get the general idea, then took each step one by one to replace the old one. Took about 15 minutes without any problems.. Thanks again and you have a very Fruitful New Year, .....................John M in California ~~~~~~~~~November 18, 2007 Hi, I Recently Purchased One Of These Heaters, The Wick That
Came Installed With The Unit Was Virtually Worthless ! Had To
Raise It Daily, Take Apart And Reinstall It Higher Every Three
Or Four Days,. It Just Kept Burning Away. I Recently Purchased
Several Replacement Wicks From You, Installed One In The Heater,
And It Now Burns Flawlessly, No More Daily Adjustment, No More
Taking It Apart To Raise The Wick. I Don`t Know If It`s Possible
To Make People Aware Of This In Todays Legal Climate, (Lawsuits,
Etc.). Just Wanted To Let You Knqw That You Ara 100% Percent
Right When You State All Wicks Are Not Created Equally. I`ve
Been Running Various Kero Sun Heaters (Stating In The Fall And
Burning Continuously) For The Entire Winter (Long And Cold) For
At Least Fifteen Years, In Northern New York. This Heater Works
Great ! Just Thought I`d Pass Along The Info. ~~~~~~~~~October 9, 2007 Dear Miles, many thanks for your great service! I ordered the Wick on Oct. 3th and he arrived me at Oct. 8 th.

Many thanks, Shawneene (Ohio) ~~~~~~~~~Feb. 6, 2007 Miles: You are amazing!
Order in to Oregon Saturday, packaged and shipped same
day, received in Atlanta Monday. That is very fast service! Even more
surprising is the fact that the USPS does have a Priority Mail service!
I really like the battery powered fuel pump, I wish I had made this purchase
three months ago. It is a must for anyone charged with the chore of fueling
kerosene heaters.
Stellar . . . Thank you for the stellar service! Darryl in Atlanta

your business in my reference folder for future purchases. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12.15.05 My wicks arrived today and I installed one in about 30
minutes . . . the instructions were very clear and
easy-to-follow. Now my heater is burning brightly and more
cleanly than it has in years. I was surprised how badly the old
wick looked when I removed it. Many thanks for your swift and
courteous service. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks so much for the help. I have the order form and a check in the mail heading your way. I went to every hardware store within 100 miles of my house and nobody had a clue about what I needed. It's nice to know someone out there is willing to help. Thanks again! Robert ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Miles: The wick for my Perfection 500 arrived yesterday. I installed it this morning and it works perfect! I think the problem with the KeroWorld wick was due to the thin construction also since there was air space between the wick and brass guide walls that allowed kerosene vapors through after warm up causing flare up and smoke. Thanks again.... Greg.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you very much for the reply. It's nice to know there are still people willing to help others out when they have questions. This weekend I'll have to look into raising the wick as you suggested. Thank you again for all your help and all the great information you provide to all of us. And you'll be hearing from me soon, as I'll need to order some wicks so I have replacements on hand. Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
