Hi John. I'm in the Toronto area and there is one dealer of Kerosene heaters in the city as far as I can tell. He should do a land rush business if all 5 million suddenly decide to buy a heater. I have been to Guelph and Kitchener and contacted a lamp dealer as far away as Kingston but none have kerosene heaters for the purpose of Ice Storms or the Y2K concern. There are kerosene heaters in TSG stores but they require an electric fan to blow the heat and therefor aren't much use for these purposes. I did not check the Home Hardware catalogue and if you go into most Toronto stores you will quickly see why. Lamps, as far as I can understand the situation, will use the 1K fuel or lamp oil. Both are cleaner burning than the kerosene of the past. I think all the lamps I have seen come with instructions that specify the fuel they can use.
