Replacing a Kerosene Heater Wick

If you have a typical kerosene heater, you'll need to change the wick every few years or it will start making a lot of black soot after the wick burns down too much. The wick costs about $10 and it takes 30 minutes to change. Andrea does it all while John tells her what to do!

Your direction was awesome and it went smoothly, thank you!

You forgot to mention that u have to fill the Kerosene heater with 1K heater fuel n let the wick in the bottom soak for 60 minutes (1hour) before lighting. Set wick at proper height to prevent smoking. Overall great install Video, Salute!!🎉🎉

Thank you! My husband somehow disassembled one of our heaters and couldn’t get it figured out. It’s been sitting in pieces in our garage for a year. Think I’ll try my luck at changing the wick and putting it back together for him.

I had to install mine with the wick up. Installing it down, I was unable to raise it after putting back together. Interesting you didn't have this issue.

[theresascott]

I put wick on exactly like u did but when I go wind up wick it don’t go up ? Feels jammed won’t crank why?
😡

We cannot get the center part where the wick is. Any ideas o what we can do

[ianainsley]

'inco sheets' are good for containing any unwanted kerosine seepage or spillage :)

Can you even imagine the engineering brain thinking that came up with this contraption?

[ingridmcdonald]

I followed all instructions (several times) but each time I could NOT get the damned wick knob to bring the wick up!! Tried 6 times. Tremendously frustrated

You didn't make her clean the chimney? I recently bought a used one and spent hours cleaning the spoot. Definitely worth it and definitely a chore to stay on top of. Do you recommend any cleaning agent for this?
