Is this 4th kind of kerosene space heater (in the detail) still made?
Looking on the internet there are kerosene heaters that are radiant and mostly rectangular, convection and sort of barrel shaped, and forced air with sort of a cannon or jet engine shape. There used to be a space heater that blew the heat down so it immediately spread across the floor. If they are still being made, what is a brand name or URL for a source. Available in USA please.
All of the heaters I described are available in the USA. The barrel types are stocked at Home Depot and Lowes (having seen them there) and all types are available for store delivery at Walmart, Home Depot, & Lowes.
Kerosene itself is widely available in 2.5 and 1 gallon plastic bottles, but yes in that form it costs $8/gallon (Tractor Supply) and up. It is also available bulk at butane distributors, price unknown. Online source says $4/gal at at least one place.

You should write a letter to your local fire-department they can advise you on that matter

None in USA because kerosene is not a common fuel and very expensive in USA. Gasoline is much cheaper than it in USA. This type heater has very high risk of fire to most house made of wood in USA. Nobody dare to use at home except for the purpose of camping.

Northern Tool has a selection of them. I think used to heat a barn, not a good idea to heat an inhabited area due to no heat exchanger and danger of carbon monoxide.
