   RESOURCE INFORMATION: 

Kerosene Heater Wicks:

Kerosene Heater Information:

This year I have had many reports of flame "dwindling" or poor performance of heaters.  This is caused by poor capillary action, the result of water in the fuel: It only takes a teaspoon of accumulated water to saturate the cotton lower portion of a wick.  Click here for the solution.

CUI is an American importer of heater wicks  CUI has the exclusive import rights for wicks made by Hattersley in England.  CUI also imports wicks from Korea.  I reserve the right to substitute Chilean made (or other) heater wicks where I have found them to be of better quality and value than CUI's Korean wicks.

Hattersley (since 1834) has been making heater wicks for decades with the highest quality materials!   "The Japanese have developed their wicks solely around the refined kerosene available in the Far East. We have taken our products a stage further and as a result of our constant development program our wicks have been recognised as the finest in the World because they perform very well in all grades of kerosene."   Tony Woodyatt, CEO, Hattersley

Hattersley is the manufacturer of OEM wicks for many brands of heaters for Europe, including Toyotomi (KeroSun, Zibro) &  Corona., and made to the highest UL Standards.

Hattersley's Wick Testing Laboratory

Hattersley makes the World's most comprehensive range of wicks for modern and antique kerosene heaters and lamps. The company's dedication to progress is exemplified by its wicks development laboratory/testing room and wick library, which Mr Woodyatt established within the factory in 1992, and has been used since then to develop their products to the highest possible level.

SORRY, THE WICK SHOP DOES NOT HAVE FACILITIES FOR WALK IN CLIENTS, BUT OUR WEB SITE REMAINS OPEN 24/7 TO HELP YOU.   I ANSWER QUESTIONS AS QUICKLY as possible (via e-mail, not telephone) to help with problems.  I ship via USPS every day about 2:00 PM, so even orders received up to noon can receive same-day mailing - I give you the best possible service I can provide.  If you are my customer and have questions about my wicks, your heaters or lamps, please e-mail me at miles@milesstair.com - I am your tech support.  If you support other businesses by purchasing their wicks, I am sure they will be glad to help you - I am not their free tech support.

Excellent service!!  Of course with the largest snow we've had in years both of heaters were out of commission.  I ordered wicks on Saturday and on Tuesday I have them in my hands!
Thank you for your great service, and for such an information packed website!

Got my wicks in the mail today! WOW!  I can't believe how fast you shipped them out! 3 days from Oregon to Maine is phenomenal! Thanks! The product is a perfect match/fit and at a great price to boot! It's a pleasure doing business with someone who actually cares for their customers! Thanks again, Glenn

That was quick delivery – my order arrived yesterday!  I’m writing today because I had some time to fit the new wicks into my lamps this afternoon.

This is my second order from you and I’m very, very pleased.  I had trouble finding the right wick for an older B&H, but the one I got from you fits and works perfectly.  Thanks to your descriptions that include both dimensions and make/model references, I confidently bought wicks for a Pittsburgh Success and P&A.  Maybe 100 years ago when these lamps were in common use, “everyone” knew how to fit and trim a wick and what kind of fuel to use.  With your helpful advice, I’m putting my lamps to use fully confident that I’m doing it right.

 Regards,

Dorsey, in N.J.

My husband didn’t find his much needed wicks locally, so I found your site on the web when I searched for “Kerosun Omni 15 wicks.”

Didn’t know how long it would take to receive them, but we got them from Oregon to Indiana in less than 48 hours from the time we ordered them!

Reasonable price, reasonable shipping, Outstanding Service!!!

 Thank you so very much!

Happy Holidays,

Hi Miles.  Do you have a special in with the USPS?
I ordered the wick & chimney on Saturday morning, and it was delivered today, MONDAY.
You and the USPS are the pinnacle of service.
 
BTW, The chimney is beautiful. I'll send you a picture when the Dresden is up and running.
 
Thanks again,
Dan D. (from Mass.)

Thanks for your quick time . You shipped my order on the day I ordered it. Outstanding arrived to new zealand In very good time and my haller stove is going again. will buy from you again I am a very satisfied customer. Thanks again for your great service.   thanks steve patrick --new zealand

~~~~~~~~~February 8, 2009  (Note:  Parts of Tennessee and Missouri were in the midst of a vicious ice storm.  Power to many localities was out for weeks.  I shipped all wicks to that area via Priority Mail.)

Guess what I got in the mail today. I ordered my wick on Wednesday 2-4-09 and received it on Friday 2-6-09. I knew that when I had read the responses on your web page, everyone was excited by the quick delivery. I didn't know you could send mail from Oregon to Tennessee in one day. Thank you very much. I also appreciate the quick responses to my email questions. It has truly been a great experience doing business with you. I didn't see a place to respond to the feedback. If you can put this email on it please do. I will tell everybody I know about your web page. Again thanks for everything. May God Bless You!!!   Aaron Spencer, TN

I ordered my wicks and igniter on 11/22/08 and received today 11/24.  First of all, thank you for the super fast delivery, I am truely impressed and shocked that such service still exists for online businesses. 

I have been purchasing wicks for my Dura Heat kerosene heater from a large local retailer since they were cheaper and carried the same wick as 3 other retailers in my area.  I have "burned up" 2 of their wicks in just under 6 weeks.  The wicks burn up so fast while never operating properly from first installation.  The height adjustment was always sticking, especially  when pressing the knob to "turn off" the heater. It never once went completely down on either wick (nor could I get it to go any lower) causing the wick to burn for about 30 - 60 seconds before going out completely.  After only 3 or 4 burns on the new wick, it was a major chore to get the wick to even raise without catching on something whether due to the soiled wick or bad fit.  The first time I used up a wick, I thought it was something I had done wrong... whether it was the installation (even though it was a pinned wick) or the wick height while burning.  I looked into the problem online and was reassured I was following proper methods for installation and burning.  I found your site in my research and read about the fiberglass top and cotton bottom wicks.  Since I had "burned up" the other wicks so fast, I was sold when I read about the nonburning fiberglass.

 I was truely impressed with wicks when I took them out of the package.  The superior quality was obvious as soon as I put it in my hands.  After getting the new wick installed (exactly the same as the other wicks I installed) It worked flawlessly.  No hanging or sticking and when I lit it for the first time, it was very clear that I made the right choice purchasing from you.  I am generating a very noticable amount of more heat with the new wick which will save me money. 

Thank you for your service!  You have not only earned my lifelong loyalty as a customer, but all my high recommendations to anyone I talk to that would need your items.  I appologize for the long email.  I am hoping that it may help people in the future that come to you and your website and have any doubts that your products are any different than anything else that they have tried.  I look forward to doing business with you again.  Thanks Again.    Ed Potts, Michigan

I recently purchased a new wick for my old kerosene heater and one of the catalytic burners, let me tell you that I could notice as soon as I looked at the wick that it was far superior to any I had seen in the big box stores. I installed the wick just as the instructions said and installed the catalytic burner as well. The first time I fired up the heater there was a major difference in how it burned and how it smelled (there was NONE). I have read your site all the way through and will  ONLY use you from now on  with all my kerosene heater needs. David A, Maryland

~~~~~~~~~March 10, 2008

I wish to leave you "Feedback" like we do on Ebay... I can't believe just how fast you got this purchase to me. I ordered it on Saturday... and there it is in my mailbox on Monday ... WoW.. And thanks for using the Postal Service for your shipping needs.  Wm.(Rusty) Crist Lynnwood Washington.

This is the second order I have made with your site. And, for the second time, I was very pleased with both the quality of the wicks and the speed with which they were delivered.  My thanks to you for the excellent service!!

Miles~  The wicks were correct and no problems installing them. The instructions were very, very explicit and detailed. I read them through once to get the general idea, then took each step one by one to replace the old one. Took about 15 minutes without any problems.. Thanks again and you have a very Fruitful New Year, .....................John M in California

Hi, I Recently Purchased One Of These Heaters, The Wick That Came Installed With The Unit Was Virtually Worthless ! Had To Raise It Daily, Take Apart And Reinstall It Higher Every Three Or Four Days,. It Just Kept Burning Away. I Recently Purchased Several Replacement Wicks From You, Installed One In The Heater, And It Now Burns Flawlessly, No More Daily Adjustment, No More Taking It Apart To Raise The Wick. I Don`t Know If It`s Possible To Make People Aware Of This In Todays Legal Climate, (Lawsuits, Etc.). Just Wanted To Let You Knqw That You Ara 100% Percent Right When You State All Wicks Are Not Created Equally. I`ve Been Running Various Kero Sun Heaters (Stating In The Fall And Burning Continuously) For The Entire Winter (Long And Cold) For At Least Fifteen Years, In Northern New York. This Heater Works Great ! Just Thought I`d Pass Along The Info.
Thank`s T. O`D,  Upstate New York

Dear Miles,

I ordered the Wick on Oct. 3th and he arrived me at Oct. 8 th.

I just wanted to send off a quick note to say thank-you for the promp service. I ordered a new wick on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. That is quicker than I could have had a store order it for me and without the hassle. Thanks again and have a great day.  Sherry (Iowa)

~~~~~~~~~Feb. 13, 2007

Thanks for the great info and service. Your communication and customer service is amazing!   Many thanks, Shawneene (Ohio)

~~~~~~~~~Feb. 6, 2007

Miles:  You are amazing!  
                    Order in to Oregon Saturday, packaged and shipped same
day, received in Atlanta Monday.  That is very fast service!  Even more
surprising is the fact that the USPS does have a Priority Mail service!

I really like the battery powered fuel pump, I wish I had made this purchase
three months ago.  It is a must for anyone charged with the chore of fueling
kerosene heaters.

Stellar . . .  Thank you for the stellar service!   Darryl in Atlanta

Miles,

Merry Christmas! I ordered two wicks from you for my Corona DK23 - an absolutely perfect fit. After wasting my hard-earned cash at Home Depot and Lowes for wicks that SHOULD have fit but didn't, I stumbled upon your web site and I'm sure glad I did. I spent two hours trying to jam a wick in my DK23, I was covered with K1 and aggravated like you wouldn't believe. I tossed it in the garbage in disgust. Maybe that was a Godsend, as it probably would have been dangerous if I had managed to make it fit.

Your wicks came this afternoon, and I REALLY appreciated the instructions for the DK23 that came with the wick. It took me ten minutes and most of that was just cleaning things up. I hope you stay in business for a L-O-N-G time, and I can guarantee that you'll get my business in the future. My regular heating system is electric, and you can never guarantee that the juice will be there when you need it. The 23DK can heat my entire house, and it's not a small house. Even the folks who have oil aren't safe - if the electric goes, the blowers are inoperative. Kerosene isn't cheap this year, but the DK23 puts out a LOT of heat, and we love it. I feel much better now that I don't have to worry about where the wicks are coming from.

AND... your web site is wonderful and informative. Feel free to use me as a reference - a VERY satisfied customer. Thanks again for your great service. Peace to you in this Christmas season and our best for a prosperous and healthy 2006.

Paul,  New Jersey

I had to write to thank you for such wonderful service!!! I'm very impressed with the quick delivery!!!! The new wick arrived today and is installed. It works better than ever! I'm keeping your business in my reference folder for future purchases.

Thank you so very much! Merry Christmas!!!

My wicks arrived today and I installed one in about 30 minutes . . . the instructions were very clear and easy-to-follow. Now my heater is burning brightly and more cleanly than it has in years. I was surprised how badly the old wick looked when I removed it. Many thanks for your swift and courteous service.

Sincerely, Richard

Thanks so much for the help. I have the order form and a check in the mail heading your way. I went to every hardware store within 100 miles of my house and nobody had a clue about what I needed. It's nice to know someone out there is willing to help. Thanks again! Robert

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Miles: The wick for my Perfection 500 arrived yesterday. I installed it this morning and it works perfect! I think the problem with the KeroWorld wick was due to the thin construction also since there was air space between the wick and brass guide walls that allowed kerosene vapors through after warm up causing flare up and smoke. Thanks again.... Greg....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you very much for the reply. It's nice to know there are still people willing to help others out when they have questions. This weekend I'll have to look into raising the wick as you suggested. Thank you again for all your help and all the great information you provide to all of us. And you'll be hearing from me soon, as I'll need to order some wicks so I have replacements on hand.  Chris
