We had a rectangular kerosene tank in the old farm we lived on. Probably held 500 gallons and fed a gigantic stove that heated the entire side of the old part of the house. My Mom whipped up some badass Le Cordon Bleu in that place. Their side of the house was cold...
Thought it was a boiler or something. We don't suffer the cold down here so basements and that sort of stuff is alien. And yes. Exhaust or go electric.
