    vented kerosene or oil heater

    I am trying to locate a vented kerosene or fuel oil space heater that does not require elctricity to use. There used to be large box-like kerosene heaters the size of a washing machine. They were gravity fed and did not require electricity to pump the fuel or circulate the air. I have been unble to find a replacment. Momitor and Toyo heaters require an electric hookup. The space to be heated is less than 1000 sq.ft. (chimney available), however, there is no electric service. We could go with wood, but that requires much more care and attention as well as hauling wood. Oil delivery is much easier.

    Does anyone know any sources in the mid-Atlantic area? or that ships. Thanks for your help.

    Only thing I know of is...

    An old Zeigler or Warm Morning space heater. When they worked properly,they worked well,but it is a drip-type heater,dunno if any parts are still available. I used to service quite a few of these beasts. Carbon buildup was a big problem.
