Stove Oil

Stove oil, also known as Number 1 fuel oil, is a somewhat volatile fuel that is used primarily by homeowners that have outside tanks or homeowners that have equipment that specifies it, such as stove oil fireplaces. Stove oil typically costs more than regular heating oil but it may endure colder climates, so it is practical in northern climates and buildings without central heating capability. Stove oil is a ‘relative’ of kerosene, in that it is a by-product of the process of refining kerosene. Stove oil typically looks like a bright, clear oily liquid, and may have a yellowish or greenish tint. Need to know more about stove oil?
