Ordering Kerosene Wicks and Igniters

First you must determine which exact wick will fit your heater, and that can be tricky. There are thousands of models of kerosene heaters and dozens of models of wicks, and only you know know which model heater you have.  The simple "basket checkout" Internet buying system cannot work with so many different models of heaters - the obscure or rare heaters are left out of the system, and those are precisely the heaters which most often need wicks!

I have compiled a list of virtually every heater and corresponding correct wick number, and another list of wicks and the heaters that fit them, for cross reference. 

The next step is to find the price of that wick from the heater wick price list. Write that number down in the order form, along with the price. 

It always pays to have a spare wick, as without a wick your heater is worthless. That is doubly important if you have an old or unique heater for which wicks are difficult to find.

Do you need a new igniter? If your electric starting system does not work, first replace the batteries. If that doesn�t work, check the contact surfaces of the wiring. More than likely, the igniter itself needs replacement. Check the complete igniter list, determine which igniter is proper for your heater (there are 4 different types of igniters), then write down the igniter number and price in the form below.

Once you have found the precise wick for your heater, enter that number on the on the Order Form.  Then look for the price of that wick on the Price List, and enter that price on the Order Form. Follow the same procedure for each model heater that needs a wick.

Now all you have to do is decide how many wicks you want (the more wicks you order, the less it costs per wick in postage),  enter the postage amount, and total up your order on the Order Form.  You can send the total amount via PayPal to miles@webenet.net, with the list of the wicks (and quantity of each) you want in the comments section, and I'll mail them to you via First Class mail.

PayPal is pretty secure, but some people do not like using credit cards on the Internet.  That is what the Order Form is for - just fill it out, print it, and mail it to me along with a Cashier's Check or Money Order, and I'll send you the wicks you want by First Class mail.  Personal checks must clear the bank before shipping.

These methods of determining the exact wick and igniter required for your particular heater are tedious, but there are many kerosene heaters and wicks available, and this method will ensure you receive the exact wick(s) you require.  Look at the list of heaters carefully before you place your order.  If you order the wrong wick, and that wick is still in the original packaging and completely undamaged, it can be returned along with $5.00 as a restocking fee and return postage to you for the correct wick.
