Ron, From what I could find out the company still exists, but it appears they have moved on into different areas of business. I think most emergency heaters are going to propane or natural gas due to the safety concerns with the kerosene heaters. I can remember a discussion on kerosene heater safety as part of a farm safety program, they had here at Iowa State University. One of the safety people involved with the discussion, told me they were definitely against the use of kerosene heaters except where there were there was little chance of fire or no people involved. The kerosene heaters had a bad reputation for causing fires and they produced a lot of carbon monoxide.
If you are looking for an emergency heater for a greenhouse. I would look at other sources. If you have a reason for really wanting to talk to them, maybe someone from the Nashville area can get you more information. --Tom /----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Orchid Grower Specializing | [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Paphs and Pleurothallids | http://www.orchids.iastate.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |"There is always room for one more Orchid!!"
