propane vs kerosene heat?

Posted by admin
matt l asked:


I was thinking of getting a forced air heater for working in the garage. Between propane and kerosene heaters I was wondering if anyone would know which one would be cheaper to use fuel wise and which would be safer carbon monoxide wise. I know they both give off CO and it needs to be vented but I thought I heard somewhere that kerosene burns cleaner. I appreciate any input.
