If the kerosene is good, you need a new wick.

Don't know about your particular model, but many kerosene heater manufacturers recommend a burn-off occasionally. In other words, when your unit is low on fuel don't shut it down or add fuel. Simply let it burn itself out a few times. Doing this supposedly cleans the wick. Good luck.

Make sure you are using kerosene and not coleman fuel (or fuel oil), otherwise change the wick. You may also check to see if you have a method of increasing the air to the flame.

I had this problem and figured out the cause was a poor grade of kerosene.

Your wick is too long, or the fire is too high. This was my main source of heat for years.
