Kerosene Stove

B 王 Kerosene is a safe, economical fuel if carefully used in a good stove. The blue flame stove with a wick-burner is perhaps the best type for general use.

The stove must be kept absolutely clean or there will be a disagreeable odor from the burning kerosene. The wicks should be turned low when not in use, otherwise the oil will draw up through the wick and spread in a thin film over the stove. The top of the stove should be washed every day and the burners removed frequently and boiled in sal soda solution.

When the wicks become clogged and dirty they should be renewed.

At twenty cents a gallon for kerosene, one blue-flame burner will cost one and one-third cents per hour.
