Why is my Dyna-Glo Heater not lighting?
- M
  Melissa MontgomeryAug 14, 2025
  If your Dyna-Glo Heater won't light, the fuel tank might be empty. Refill it with water-clear 1-K kerosene. Alternatively, there might be water in the kerosene. In that case, drain the tank, remove the wick assembly, replace the wick, reinstall the assembly, and then refill with water-clear 1-K kerosene. The igniter plug also might not be glowing, so try replacing the batteries or the igniter plug itself, and check for any broken or disconnected wires. Finally, the igniter plug might be touching the side of the wick; lower the wick using the adjuster knob until the plug contacts the top of the wick.

Why does my Dyna-Glo Heater produce smoke or odor?
- T
  Thomas WoodAug 18, 2025
  If your Dyna-Glo Heater produces smoke or odor, it could be due to several reasons. The flame might be too high; lower the wick to the desired 1/2” flame using the wick adjuster knob. The heater could be in an air draft; move it to a location away from drafts. The burner might not be level; rotate it from side to side using the burner knob until it seats properly over the wick. Carbon or tar buildup on the wick could also be the problem; perform the 'Carbon Removal / Dry Burning' procedure, and replace the wick if necessary. Finally, the kerosene could be contaminated; drain the tank, replace the wick, and refill with water-clear 1-K kerosene.

Why is the wick burning down excessively on my Dyna-Glo WK11C8?
- R
  randallpatrickAug 28, 2025
  If the wick on your Dyna-Glo Heater is burning down excessively, it's likely due to dangerous, volatile fuel mixed with the kerosene, such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, paint thinner, camp stove fuel, or oil compound. To resolve this, drain and clean the tank, remove and replace the wick, and fill the tank with water-clear 1-K kerosene.

  If your Dyna-Glo Heater won't light, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, replenish it with water-clear 1-K kerosene. If there's water in the kerosene, drain the tank, replace the wick assembly, and refill with clean kerosene. Check the igniter plug: replace the batteries, the plug itself, and inspect for any broken or disconnected wires. Lastly, ensure the igniter plug isn't touching the wick's side; adjust the wick until the igniter plug contacts the top of the wick.
