If you look at any of the posts about dealing with the winters in Ishikawa, you’ve probably noticed that kerosene heaters get a lot of recommendations. And then you probably thought, “How the hell do I use one of those [without accidentally killing myself]?” I have to admit that, while I’m not new to living in regions with bitter winters, I am new at this whole “no-insulation, no-central air” thing.

However, I think if we can get the comments rolling on this post, especially from you old hands, we could make a nice little English-language guide for using kerosene heaters. Click here for a basic guide on buying and using your kerosene heater.

I live in a large, “well ventilated” (read: drafty and full of windows) apartment. Everyone suggested that I get a kerosene heater for the winter for the sake of cost and efficiency, and so I bought a Dainichi-brand “Blue Heater” kerosene fan-heater at Komeri, our local home goods store. I’ll admit I don’t know much about brands of heaters, but this one was rather inexpensive at 9,000 yen ($100).

It’s fairly no-frills: it includes a timer you can set to turn on or off, a clock, a child lock, and some chimes to beep at you if you’re running low on fuel or if you’ve heated the room sufficiently. It heats a 12-mat room (１２畳 12-jou), which was marked on the information tag in the store. It requires 40 seconds （４０秒 40-byou） to get fired up, and it gets toasty quickly.* So, you’ve got your heater. Take it out of the box. (Save the instructions and the warranty!). The instruction manual is probably going to be all in Japanese. It might be a good idea to have a bilingual friend or a coworker explain how to all the functions the first time, but here’s a really general guide to filling and using the heater safely.

Ask the clerk at the place where you buy kerosene (see below) to dispose of old kerosene before your first fill-up.

At the store, these should be near the jugs. You’ll want to get bucket or some small open container in which to store the siphon after use. Before you check out at the store, tell the cashier you’d like to buy some kerosene (pointing to the jug helps). (Something like, 「すみません、灯油も買いたいですが。 」Sumimasen, touyu mo kaitai desu ga. Excuse me, but I’d also like to buy some kerosene.) At my store, you tell them how much you want to buy (I got the full 18L jug’s worth) and you pay at the register. A clerk took me back to into the home-improvement side of the store and out to the kerosene fill-up station, where an attendant filled up the container. The price-per-liter is usually marked on gas station signs and outside stores that sell it–it’s usually about 60-70 yen for a liter.
