Ok its been a few days and I have conducted my own experiment. A full soup can of Kerosene has evaporated to half way during the last 10 days. So it will evaporate at a "normal" temperature--but not quickly in the autumn. New kerosene heaters sold in Canada after Jan 1999 have to meet new guidelines developed following the Montreal ice storm. Such heaters do not belch flames nor do they smoke. The burner is on a "knife edge" and the slightest bump shuts the whole thing off immediately. Low sulphur 1-K kerosene has little smell due to it's low sulphur content. The first burn should of course be outside to allow the wick to burn in for a half hour--this process is smelly. But a natural gas furnace is much preferable and lets hope they all work on Jan 1.
