Wick type oil or "kerosene" lamps from Walmart or other places. They
put out some heat. But, how much?

Any idea how to figure out the BTU per hour? My thought is that they
burn about an ounce of oil an hour. More or less. So, on the web some
where has to be the heat content of lamp oil. Figure it out from
there.

If it's enough, then an oil lamp or two or more. Could be used for
heat when the power is off, or the propane tank is empty.


FWIW, according to:http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?

"An Aladdin mantle lamp will use, at full bore, about one gallon of
kerosene for every 50 hours of use. Output is 3500 BTU's... more than
enough to heat one well-insulated room in winter. In addition to
light, you can cook on one... the heat escaping the chimney is over
400 degrees F. Inventive minds can design a sturdy, tall stand to hold
a skillet for cooking. Don't have an inventive mind? Better cultivate
one, or make close acquaintance with one soon... you'll need it to get
through what's coming."
