A space heating apparatus includes a fuel tank and base assembly, a combustion chassis assembly supported on the base and supplied with combustion air for igniting and supporting a flame, and a top cover plate. The top cover plate includes a turret section providing a supporting surface for an upper cabinet assembly which is pivotally mounted on the turret. A mantle assembly is disposed in the cabinet to produce radiant heat and a portion extends down over the combustion chassis assembly. A slideable lower spill tray and an upper spill tray on the top cover plate provide ready access for detecting and cleaning kerosene spills, and for removing char and other debris.
