Pretty good job. Saw several mounted in like a modified electrical box or big ammo can outside. They were some done that way for portability. Others on timers for chicken coops. Some mount then outside their truck camper. Just make sure the intake is fresh air and not exhaust. Low pressure will push that exhaust right down to the ground. They run of 12Vbattery with converter. Generally about 2 1/2 days off that much fuel Different levels of heat. A good choice for primary and backup heat
put the air intake hose inside so you are not drawing freezing air and the heater will be much more efficient at heating your cabin,you will use a lot less fuel
I would mount the heater lower to the floor maybe 12 to 16 inches high, ( heat rises ) put the fuel tank & pump outside in some sort of storage cabinet w/ vent hole , the added fuel filter is a plus , propper clearence flange for the exhaust port , air intake put some sort of shieild over it so no dirt or grime splashes up from heavy rain hitting the ground and slattering it , NICE CABIN THOUGH , DAVE from MICHIGAN
I almost went with that type of heater, great option, good btu's but I ended up being able to heat the trailer with a 350-watt heater 8.6 kw a day, lowest temp was -28F and 64 inside. Disclaimer lots of extra exterior insulation do not try with any 30ft RV, but with a micro cabin np. There are 2 options at 4kw per day Honeywell 170/250 on low sry, Rug buddy 3'x5' $$$$$. In case you get tired of filling it, more options. A single 12v 460ah could run the 170 watt heaters for a day. If you are North of 60 buy the inverter with a charge rate near the battery maximum, Run a propane gen for less than 2 hours charged up, a huge propane tank fill up 1 time per year on a 1000g or spring/fall fill up. Tank prices are rising get what you need now or pay more a lot more later.
Since you drilled those big holes in the side of the building, i would just install the whole thing outside (maybe in a box) and use one hole to draw air from your cabin into the heater and the the other hole to blow the heated air back into your cabin. That would keep all the fuel, the noisy fuel pump, and the heater itself outside and you'd just have the 2 air holes and the control thing inside your cabin
Hey Steve I can tell you installed that heater! Can you please turn it down. It’s 89 deg down here in the southern part of Illinois today😂 They sure are a hot item and these companies sure are pushing them. I’ve gotten at least three emails😂 Take care👊🏻
I had to go look at it. It is for the burn so this would explain why the exhaust and intake can be soo close. Probably doesn't make much difference from an air quality stand point.
Steve, enjoying your channel - thank you and stay well, keep fiddling with stuff!
Thanks, will do!
Tk u so much.every body got coffee that tgey ❤
Can't miss the coffee!
That was funny piping the exhaust into the cabin lol
smells terrible LOL!
Steve remember safety third! 😂
Safety eventually LOL!
those heaters are great, I use them all winter to heat the house, fan lasts average of 2 years, uses about 10L every day n a half or so (at -30c)
Pretty affordable too!
Interesting heater. I saw Mike from Captain Kleeman use one too. I never knew they existed.
I've seen them for campers but not portable ones like this. New to me too.
Pretty cool little heater! Great video Steve👍👍
Thanks 👍
Good 👍! Been thinking of getting a few of them 4 alternative heating methods!
its a nice little unit and very affordable!

I was really impressed with the little guy!

Seems to be allot of debate on that. Makes sense though.

Thanks Dave!
Safety sometimes… maybe 😂. Harness on a high roof … yup ! Aside from that just gonna wing it lol. Take care
More than I care to admit!

That rug buddy is pretty neat. I use a 12v heating blanket in my camper fairly often. Kind of the same concept.

Yeah I think that's a good idea. I'm saving these for when it's not summer LOL!

Funny! Worst part is I paid full price! I should have checked with you first!
So is your furnace/AC filter for your house outside ?
no but it has a fresh air intake that is outside so it pulls fresh air in from outdoors.
@@buildlife Yea I saw that too. But !!!! is it for the burn or for the circulating air ?
I had to go look at it. It is for the burn so this would explain why the exhaust and intake can be soo close. Probably doesn't make much difference from an air quality stand point.
@@buildlife So where is the intake for circulating/heated air ?
Point the poison gas down and snorkle up
Gotta get it out for sure!
