This video provides an overview of how to heat a greenhouse with a paraffin heater, which is an old-school option for maintaining warmth. The heater has a wick that draws liquid fuel from the holding tank beneath. To light the heater, trim the wicks so they are perfectly horizontal and adjust quickly to a level flame. Wait 3-5 minutes for the flame to warm up, with the top placed on. Adjust again.
Paraffin heaters are ideal for greenhouses without mains power if you have a cheap supply of fuel. However, propane gas is a good solution. To heat a greenhouse without electricity, follow these 15 tricks:
- Use 2 greenhouses.
- Seal the gaps.
- Insulate with bubble wrap.
- Use compost.
- Build a brick wall.
- Use paraffin.
Paraffin greenhouse heaters are an old-school option for maintaining warmth. They have a wick that draws liquid fuel from the holding tank beneath. If the wick is dry, pour a little paraffin onto the wick to ensure it is damp but not spilled all over the burner.
To light the heater, turn the wick up, trim the wicks so they are perfectly horizontal. Light them and adjust quickly to a level flame. Wait 3-5 minutes for the flame to warm up.
When using the heater for the first time, fill the tank with kerosene and wait at least ten minutes. Always extinguish the flame before adding more paraffin.
Before lighting new or old wicks, remove the wick from the burner(s) and ensure it is dry. If the wicks are damp, the siphoning action will cause damage to the heater.
