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.
