That reminds me that I need to see if I can steal my dad's kerosene jet heater over XMas... I know he doesn't need it anymore.

But they should be cheaper to run for the amount of heat they generate... assuming kerosene isn't insanely expensive like gas has become.

I think that it is like $3-4 dollars at our shity local hardware store. It has been unbarable lately, We have two kerosene heaters, and a big wall mount and the shop barely gets to 65 deg. It's cold.

That must suck. Turning wrenches with cold hands is pretty fucked. I've been there and don't want to go back.
