I have a kerosene heater for backup heat. I'd used kerosene for heat 
before and knew about the smell, I have 4 gallons of "odorless" 
kerosene heater fuel in case it's needed. I tried it two winters back 
and it worked well.

When I bought the 'odorless fuel' it was a lot less than what wm had 
it for today. The last time I bought kerosene in Minnesota I went to 
a bulk dealer and pumped the 10 gallons and it was a lot less than 
the prepackaged.
