Yes, you're correct about the kerosene tank heater. We used one for decades. Ours had a heavy cast iron hollow "donut" fire chamber at the bottom. It would not float. It had two stacks on it. One is the exhaust stack that you see sticking up in your picture. The other one is shorter and is the air/fuel intake stack. it has a flat metal "spoon" with holes in it that serves to spread the fuel that drips into the burner. Mounted above the short stack is a small tank holding the kerosene, with a drip valve on it.
We started ours by pouring a small amount of kerosene into the burn chamber first. Then you poured some onto something flammable. We usually used newspaper. Light that and shove it down the intake stack with the flat spoon, into the burn chamber. This ignited the oil in the chamber. Then you just set the valve to drip kerosene and keep the fire going. Worked great.
