"Kerosene is a leeeetle bit different from gasoline.  Lower vaporization. People can use it indoors."

Gee, ya think? That's why my Grandfather used it to start his brush piles... because he loved his eyebrows right where they were.

I've seen a LOT of gasoline lamps in operation in homes over the years. Still used pretty heavily by the Amish.

Nothing like adding an insane amount of heat to the house in the middle of summer, though.

I use a kerosene heater in my workshop. However, kerosene is expensive around here.
 
Usually just fill it with diesel. Road diesel (ultra low sulfur) is a less nasty than #2.

Are you disagreeing?

Kerosene for starting fires outdoors is less foomy.

Use of gasoline lamps in the house themselves is unfoomy, but their possible spillage indoors is much more foomy than with kerosene lamps.

No.

Just kind of a Captain Obvious moment there...

And then there's a gopher on fire, running around the yard setting everything else on fire.

I set a brush pile on fire behind the house years ago. Flaming pack rats can run pretty quick.

YEARS ago, my dad was going to give me a demonstration on the flammability of gasoline via a back yard brush pile. Poured the gas, got back a "safe distance" tossed a lit match in the pile's general direction, was immediately engulfed in the LARGE "FOOM!". After running back, dropping and rolling, just in case, he looked at me and said "ok, that was a little more than I was counting on but you get the picture."
