OK...let me explaine...
This has been a miserable winter so far, maybe the WORST.
Snow...so far a few feet on the ground and every few days 2 or 3" more. Temps "normally" have been single digits and below. I have 2 heaters in my shop, a 10,000 btu wick type kerosene heater. That works fine but c'mon...10,000 btu is not a lot of help but better than nothing. The "prime mover" is my 40,000 btu Ready Heater torpedo unit. Well. of course it died two weeks ago. So what the heck I'll look it up on line for repair parts. It needs a motor...it's kind of specialized, with a built in air injection pump. All I could find was only one list of parts and it showed N.A. (not available). Then it suddenly occurred to me I purchased that heater in 1973. No wonder I can't find parts for it. I got my money's worth. I tinkered with it for a while and got a few more hours out of it. By then I guess I waited too long. When I looked on line for a replacement. NO LUCK. There are no torpedo heaters left in the under 75,000 btu range. I heard this from two places so I'm thinking it must be true, "Snow blowers, heaters and lawn mowers are treated the same by the manufacturers. They only make so many a year. Last winter they had a lot of heaters left over in the spring. But not this year. This is really gonna delay any custom orders.

That's about $100 more than they have been selling for in that size.

You know, I hate to say this but I think the only solution is for you to move to Florida...

Maybe that's why I am 57 and I feel like I am dying... Actually, all that is silliness. As much as I hate Florida it has everything you could want out of life, with the exception of cold, snow and seasons.
