Easy assembly and good performance!

Would Recommend

I purchased the Master Forge 23800-BYU Kerosene heater last winter when my heat pump stopped working. I followed the initial start-up instructions in the provided manual and it started right up! I did this outside in a well-vented area before using it inside my home. I would highly recommend you read the manual in regard to wick maintenance and replacement and the dry burn procedure. I would recommend purchasing a replacement wick to store away. This way you'll have one when you need it. Dura He...

Excellent

Would Recommend

Prompt shipping and order fulfillment. The heater was well packed and the box was received in good condition. Great price and value; better than anywhere else I looked. Read the manual carefully, get fresh K1, and fire it up.

Replacement Wicks Can Only Be Ordered by Phone.

Would Not Recommend

I bought two of these. Although they heat well, they are smoky. The wicks needed to be changed in less than two months. The only way to purchase new wicks is by ordering over the phone, Mon-Fri from 8 am - 6:30 pm CST. They can't be purchased in-store or online. So if your wick goes bad, then you will have to wait several days for a replacement. Hopefully, it's not too late to return them.
