Well, I live in a big city - stick built McHome - all electric. With basement. The fireplace is useless for heating, and only a decoration/ambiance setter for now.
I used to have a kerosene heater - but sold it off and got a little propane heating head I use on 20# grill tanks. I use this to take the chill out of the basement during the winter.
For an extended power outage, I'm wondering if I should have kept the Kerosene radiant heater?
Cost vs efficiency? Is there another cheap source of heat I'm overlooking?
Anyone know where to find the heat output vs fuel cost of propane vs kerosene?
Also, the Kerosene heater was bugging my asthma - but I'm happy to put up with it if it keeps me from freezing.
