The Paraffin Heater

An overview of my Paraffin Heater for use in my greenhouse.

Just a point, don't know if anyone has mentioned it. The burner can be removed so if you do drop the wicks, you can remove the burner and have a much larger hole to get the wicks back out. I say this as you said you have spent hours trying to fish them out through the filler hole. Hope this helps. Take care

Thank you for taking the time to make this comprehensive video … just about to light mine for the first time this evening … luckily I had saved your video … keep up the good work x

Cheers fella, bought a cheap Chinese one with 2 inches of wick never occurred to me to use an oil filled rad, very clever 👍

Do I own a greenhouse? Nope.
Do I own a paraffin heater? Nope
Do I grow plants? Nope
Did I watch all the way through your video? Sure did.

I've just moved and inherited one of these inside the greenhouse here, never had a greenhouse before I'm so excited to have one! and it's housing some jasmines and a palm at the moment along with a few basket plants I saved and you have just explained it perfectly! I think I can have a go using it now I wasn't sure what the heck it was LoL I have everything in plastic tubs & wrapped in double bubble and cardboard for protection and I even lit a few candles the other night when it dropped icy but this would be brilliant to use in there, thanks I really appreciate the video. Happy gardening.

Just erected a new green house, and your video and information on the heater was brilliant… keep up the good work… many thanks 👍🏻

The paraffin heater also provides extra co2 into the greenhouse witch is beneficial for the plants, the electric heater doesn't .

Great video.learned loads.also noticed the canes and mesh on the side of the shed as well.never thought of doing that.all about using every inch of space.thanks

Thank you for this excellent guide! I’m using at the moment as temps are currently -2 in Ayrshire which is unknown! My greenhouse is only 1 degrees different from outside as it hardly gets direct sun in the winter time. Thanks to you my fire is lit and my tender plants warming up as I write! Thanks again! 🫶🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just brought my first parrafin heater. My greenhouse was full of black smoke and was so disappointed. I then watched this video and feeling much better. I did have a long wick and think is done it completely wrong. Going to give it another go tomorrow. Thankyou for the informative video it's appreciated 😊

Thank you for your help, its my first time seting one up.

I have the same size greenhouse as you and my heater will be delivered this coming Wednesday with 8Lts fuel, looking forward to looking at your other videos.

I have since established that the small electric oil filled radiator is rated at 800w. NOT the kilowatt rating that I mentioned during the video. Sorry for the confusion everyone 🤔

Worth pointing out that the reservoirs rust easily and if you're not careful will spring a leak within a year

Useful 👍🏽 I just bought one of these and it came with very little instruction, so this has really helped.

[jazzyman]

Thanks for the great video. Few questions, I notice that you have bubble wrap in your greenhouse, is this necessary when using the greenhouse heater? Do you run the heater 24hrs or just night-time when the temperature drops?

[werpu]

Thanks for this video, prevented me from doing it totally wrong to begin with. I also bought today a parrafin heater to supplement my elentric heating in the glasshouse, lets see how it turns out, so far I am happy 7c plus is really nice and should keep the greenhouse on good enough temperatures without tapping to heavily into electricity.

I have a tiny greenhouse as well in a city. 9ft x 4ft x 7ft tall. Built with two found double insulated windows. Planning now for sub zero next year.
