    Had to jump in here, we have an Espar (hot air) and a Webasto (hot water)
    and I like them both. When the Espar smokes like crazy, its usually the
    glow plug and time to change it. They are designed to fail every year about
    Christmas time.

    I've also learned that burning stove oil, which I understand is cleaner, is
    much easier on the jets - or something like that. Anyway, I started loading
    stove oil into one of my tanks in the fall an so far, so good. The glow
    plug has lasted longer than usual.

    I should say that I think the heat from hot water heat seems to last longer
    than forced air heat which seems to dissapate pretty quickly.
