But where do you "just run out and buy" Jet A? I dont think you can. Jet
A is just a higher grade of Kerosene, I believe.

Beats me, K-1 used to be hard enough to find. To be honest, I haven't
burned any kerosene since the '70s.

I had read his site before I bought the heaters. He recommends the
model I bought. Seems he's got some "survivalist" blood in him.
Knows more about kerosene burning than I ever want to know.
Think I'll follow his "seasoning" advice when the heaters show up.
As to the fuel, I called around and found I could do the on-line "ship
to store" for the $33.49 5-gal K-1 jugs, or just go to the store and
pick up 2 1/2 gal jugs for $19.95.
I'll pick up a couple of those. Crafty Beaver Hardware, plenty around
here.
The smaller jugs will be easier to handle and store. They also have
gallons for $10.
If I was heating my house with the stuff I'd look to get bulk Jet A.
Palwaukee Airport is about 15 minutes away.
But I just want to heat the garage when doing occasional car repairs
and have a backup for the house if the power goes out.
Not worth shmoozing airport fuelers for what I need.
