Sengoku CV-2230 KeroHeat Convection 23,000-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater Review

I live in a very isolated rural area and my local electric co-op is less than dependable. The power went out for 7 hours once because of a windy day. I have a bad feeling about this winter so I decided to buy a kero heater in case the power goes out. I live in a small trailer that has electric everything. My grandparents used to have a KeroSun that was great so I looked for those and found that the company is out of business, so I tried to find one with good user reviews that was as close to that design as possible. The Sengoku CV-2230 looked promising.

Having never done it before, assembling the heater was a nightmare, though they thoughtfully pre-installed the wick. One big down-side I noticed right away was the flimsy handle. It's a big heater and I'm afraid to pick it up with that handle, especially when it's full. They have small "U"-shaped clamps at the hardware store that I'll attach to each end of the handle where they fit into the holes in the body so the handle can't come out. That should make me feel a little better.

Follow the instructions. Fill and light this heater *outside*, let the flame settle, then bring it in. Don't forget the part where it says to let the entire first tankful burn outside so that the varnishes and residues left from manufacturing burn off and don't create noxious fumes.

When the flame was fully-lit I turned it down and brought the heater indoors. I found that the flame was too high even on the lowest wick-stop setting AND burned mostly on the left and right with practically no flame front and back. The flame was much higher on the right, also. I fiddled with it to no avail and realized the wick needed some surgery. So I disassembled the whole thing to get the wick, lowered the entire wick about 1/8" and gave it a haircut with a good, sharp pair of scissors so the top was even all the way around. It proved impossible to adjust the wick so that the space between the wick and the metal collar is even all the way around so I just said forget it and reassembled the heater.

The operation was a success. You still have to move the burner around and try different seating positions to get the flame to burn as evenly around the edge of the disk as possible but it can be done. The flame of my heater is now 1/2" high all the way around (as recommended), more or less.

Like the fellow above mentioned, this heater puts out a LOT of heat. I read some reviews that complained that the unit falls far short of its 23,000 BTU rating but it was obviously meant to heat a bigger space than my trailer. I leave two windows open on opposite sides of the room for cross-ventilation, otherwise it sucks all the O2 out the air and the heat drives me out of my home. My Doberman loves it, however, and lays about two feet away from it. They're cold-blooded dogs - furry lizards, so this heater makes a terrific dog toaster. One trick I use is to turn on just the blower of my central heat/AC to move the warm air around the whole place. BTW, you can raise the humidity in your home by 10% by doing the same thing, turning the shower nearest the heater intake vent on hot for ten minutes.

Took some fiddling but it works adequately and the price was right. Watch out for that handle. As far as I know, the next thing up is a refurbished KeroSun, and that'll cost you.
