With out fleabay second hand greenhouse, we aquired a paraffin heater.

We lit it up today, and even with a new wick, it doesn't burn with a blue flame,,   (earlier postings said it must do this)

What do we need to check/Do ?

We turned it down as far as we could, but then it went out,, do we need to let it burn for 15 minutes and then checks how its burning...

have you rubbed it with ya fingers before ya oight it to remove carbon deposits and it needs a while to properly suck up the fuel i have parafin heaters  .i put a drop of water in my fuel tank as well  but its not a fix all for them .so long as your not sitting in thier all day sucking in fumes i wouldntb worry ,.besides i cant see a reason now for having the heater on its warming up
