Bystanders aren't thrilled about the burning kerosene smell -- frankly, it's a lot worse than charcoal.
- londons_explore 3y agoI find the smell of kerosene seems to only happen between opening the kerosene container and lighting it. As soon as it's lit, kerosene smoke at fire-pit scale seems to be odorless.
- crazygringo 3y agoThen maybe you're not standing downwind. It absolutely stinks and sometimes for as long as twenty minutes depending on how much was used. I'm not a chemist and I have no idea what's responsible for the odor. If it's some kind of intermediate byproduct.
