Bialaddin heater

I just couldn't say no









gonna be interesting figuring this one out

 

Hello Ray, I have the paperwork for that heater, if you want it, then send your e-mail address to me via a private topic, Jeff.

 

Always said you are a nice fella Jeff

Will do and thanks !

 

Hi Ray that has surprised me i never knew Bialaddin made a non pressure radiant paraffin heater,i have seen many Aladdin heater's of that type before in the past but never a Bialaddin,you may need a new wick and check the seals on it and the fuel bottle,and show us some pics of it working they did throw out a good amount of heat

 

Hi Brian

Surprised me too ! Well, a hell of a learning curve since posting it. I'm reliably informed by a couple of contributors already via PT's that it's a drip feed kerosene heater with an asbestos wick referred to as a kindler wick. Needs a little TLC but hope to revive it

Edit: it's around 8250 btu output
Cheers

 

Ray, just the thing for a cold brute of a day like today - in Aberdeenshire anyway.

 

If anyone else wants the paperwork for this heater, then send your e-mail to me via a private topic, Jeff.

 

Here you go Brian, A new kindler wick and spiral element and............

Could do with it today Ray, not much of the flaming June about it more flaming perishing!

 

Thanks, Jeff - I'd like a copy of that paperwork, too.

And if anybody's got a spare glass fuel bottle for one of these, I'd be pleased to hear about it. The one I've got's useless without it...

 

David

Have you got the top for the bottle ?

 

Yep - and about 100 pieces of broken glass...

 

Post it to me, I have an idea

 

Hello David, I have sent the paperwork to you, Jeff.

 

OK, Ray - will do. Bu&&ered if I can figure out what you can do with it though.

Thanks, Jeff - I got that (twice!)

 

Hello David, yes, there was a glitch with the first e-mail at this end, so I was not sure if it went or not.

Hence the second e-mail.

 

Hello to you all, sorry for bumping an old thread but does anyone still have a copy of the paperwork for this heater ? Many thanks in advance.

 

Welcome aboard Tom!

I have sent a private message to you with the paperwork.

 

thank you very much Jeff

 

Hi guys just joined. I've just fished the very same heater out a skip. Got it home and had it running after figuring out the mechanism. What a heat it makes. Will be awesome in the workshop in the winter with the windows open for air circulation

 

I find they're quite heavy on fuel compared with a Bialaddin bowlfire. It's horses for courses, though...

 

They're quite handy for starting house fires as well. You need to make sure the seals on the fuel bottle are in good order. Failure there can dump a gallon of warm kero into the wick feeder and then onto the floor. ::Neil::

 

Welcome aboard!

Would you like the paperwork for that heater?

 

@Mackburner Now that’s one house warming party one should definitely avoid.

 

This one.. Sorry I'm not sure how to send a personal email from the thread.

Hi everyone.
I've recently bought one of these from auction and could do with some tips on getting it back up and running and potential issues. It has the gauze dome but no spiral element and I'll replace the wick also. It's come with a rippingillies glass bottles so I'm unsure if this will be OK to use? Is it just the bottle plunger mechanism that has perishable seals on these heaters or is there somewhere else I'm missing such as the brass feed pipe unions? Thanks in advance

 

Welcome @Jon B . Have a look here: Aladdin lamp & heater Spares. If no joy ask them as they often have stuff not on the website.

 

Thank-you, much appreciated

 

I would love a copy of the paperwork, please!
