Smudge pot heaters can burn a variety of fuels, including: Diesel fuel, Kerosene, Used cooking oil, and Fuel alternatives like Klean Heat.
Smudge pots are portable devices that contain a container of oil that burns slowly.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using a smudge pot:
Ventilation
Smudge pots produce dangerous gas, so they should only be used in well-ventilated spaces.
Fuel
Make sure there is no water in the fuel or the bottom of the pot.
Lighting
A propane starter torch can be used to light a smudge pot, especially in damp or windy conditions.
Duration
The duration a smudge pot will run depends on several factors, including the fuel, outside temperature, elevation, and how open the regulator is.
What a great way to enjoy your chilly evenings with your friends and family! You can burn waste oil, kerosene and diesel fuel (not gasoline!!) in this smudge pot. Once the fire in the box gets to burning good and hot, there is virtually no smoke from the flue pipe during the burn. Once you kill the fire with the damper, the fire will stop and it will smoke some out of the stack; however, using kerosene and diesel fuel, the smoke will not be nearly as bad. This is a great alternative to a wood burning fire, as there are no sparks or smoke emitted, only flame and heat, and it is extremely easy to kill the fire when you are ready to, unlike an open wood burning fire pit.
The best part about these? You don't have to have a truck bed full of wood for the weekend camping!
