There's a gas station within 3 miles of me that sells kerosene. It's only $4.39/gallon
Diesel is almost $1 cheaper/gallon. I have no idea where I can get off-road diesel in small quantities around here.
On-road diesel would burn just as well if the heater is designed for it as mine is.There's a gas station within 3 miles of me that sells kerosene. It's only $4.39/gallon

Only advantage to the off-road variety is not paying road taxes for the privilege of using it.
I'd go that route to save the $1/gal. Silly not to.
If I go with kerosene, I won't buy one unless it is dual fuel (kero/diesel)
If you run diesel primarily, be sure to run a tank or two of kerosene through it every so often. Kerosene fumes aren't as bad as diesel, but neither bother me. The LPG units seem weak when compared to the kerosene units. The LPG one we had would plow through a bottle of LPG and wouldn't throw heat nearly as well as a kerosene one. i need to get mine back. We've hit a cold snap and it takes the chill off in my shop in a few minutes. Perfect to get the wood stove warm.
Smells awful and then I coughed up black soot for the rest of the day.
Hyperbole.... I coughed up black soot for the rest of the day.
What the hell are you trying to heat??? My 125k BTU bullet heater heats my 40x50' shop (with 19' center point ceiling) just fine!!!
