We used to use a paraffin burner with electric fan. I suspect a very similar
beast. One thing to note is that there is a large amount of water given off
when paraffin is burnt. Although it warms you up it may also increase
humidity. Maybe new burners are better than the old dog we had?
Wishing you all the best for the new year. Happy building and even happier
flying.

PS paraffin = Kerosene I think
