It will ignite from a wick which increases the evaporation, now put a small amount of kerosene in a bottle cap or similar small container and try to ignite it. Even heavy oil will ignite with the right wick.
Here is an explanation of how high flash point liquids can be ignited with wicks, sprays, and other means.

I don't need to read some obscure website to know that flammable liquids are guess what? Flammable!

But here is the deal, you CAN light kerosene with a match at room temperature. It just takes time. Why do I say it takes time? Because Kerosene does not release vapor until it has reached 110 degrees. Much like gasoline, Kerosene liquid will not ignite rather it is the vapor that will ignite. Gasoline starts to release vapor at round -40 degrees. Kerosene does not release vapor until about 110 degrees. Thats the difference and variables......... So when you tell someone you CAN'T ignite Kerosene with a match, it's best to give the variables....

Okay, I'm not going to go tell someone to play with matches. LOL too funny.

I think airplanes should not be made from aluminum either as that stuff can really burn...concrete would be a much better choice...perfectly safe but won't fly... you can't have everything.

Bruce Willis sucks...Chuck Norris would only have to flip a cigarette butt into the fuel and it would blow up...of course Christie Brinkley would only have to walk by, as she is so hot.
