Yes but not cheap, the parafin heaters that are sold in the likes or Bricorama and Leroy Merlin use a particulary pure parafin or kerosene, 20 ltrs cost approx 30 euros, I have a Zibro Kamin Turbo burner with secondary fume burning, allows 99.7% efficiency with no condensation very good. In UK kerosene or parafin was readily available about the same price as over hear, but u get miffed because diesel and other fuels are cheaper here than uk. Tellme where u live and I may be able to help. I suspect you have an efficient kerosene heater like me, Cifac also stock this product. If anyone knows of a petrol station which sells this product.. kerosene or parafin Id be interested. HTH :-?

Folly if you have looked at the paraffin heaters.... please don't go for a cheapey...... go for a turbo version. Check my adds in for sale and ring me. ==. The second stage burn catalytic heaters re burn the waste gases for more heat at zero fuel cost. zero smell ...sorry too much vino so spelling. suffers .. takes you from smelly to how impressive is that + zero condensation....I want one if you get my drift. We've owned one for 3 years my better half loves it ! PS Here nick name is Ice Queen !as well as Boss :'(
