How does a kerosene iron work?

A kerosene iron operates by using kerosene as a fuel source to generate heat. The iron has a fuel reservoir where kerosene is stored, and it features a small wick that draws the fuel into a combustion chamber. When ignited, the kerosene burns, producing heat that is transferred to the iron's soleplate, allowing it to effectively press clothes. This type of iron is typically used in areas without electricity, as it provides a portable and effective solution for ironing.
