My kerosene heaters do need electricity, just kerosene and 2 C batteries for the ignitor. You can start it without the batteries with a match/lighter The large one I just bought has a BTUH rating of 23000 so it would be able to heat a large garage, probably more than I need for a 6x8 greenhouse but I will be ready if the power goes out. I also have a small british kerosene heater that I use on nights that get below 20, its the old fashion kind that is built like a lamp, all I need is kerosene and a match. I have learned not to turn up the wick too high because it sooted my greenhouse the first time I used it. I wiped most of it off, there was a black film on the inside of my greenhouse and it was in my fan as well, a real mess. But apparently the plants like it since the breath CO2.
