Anyone need a kerosene heater?

I don't have space to keep mine.

I looks like this:

It's a radiant heater, no forced air.  The tea kettle (on top in the 
pic) was to put some steam in the air because I found it heater more 
efficiently that way.  The heater/tea kettle setup worked pretty good in 
a 14'x20' garage this winter when it was 20 degrees outside... no data 
on how good or bad it would work in a larger space.

Looking on Amazon, I think it's this exact model... 23,000 BTU heater...

I've got the heater, kettle, a full 5 gallon can of Kerosene, and a 1 
gallon transfer container that makes it easier to fill, since you would 
have to be a beast to aim the 5 gallon can.

It's supposedly got an electric igniter that uses a couple C or D cell 
batteries, but I've never tried it, I've always lit it with a lighter, 
so I can't swear that the igniter works.

If someone is interested, I can bring the whole package in tomorrow, I 
need to get rid of it asap.
