I have had one for several winters. Good for temporary heat. Diesel fuel soots up the photo eye on the burner which eventually will give you an E1 error code. Kerosene works the best, doesnt smoke or create soot. Runs pretty quiet and gives off alot of heat in a short amount of time.
I bought one of these and it has the smell of diesel while burning. I might send it back b/c the smell of heated diesel fuems makes my head hurt. I kept three windows 1/2 open and also constantly ran a large floor fan in the room to circulate the heat but it also circulates the headache smell of diesel. So do you get the diesel smell or not. I have a carbon monoxide alarm in the workshop. The space that I heat is 1600 square feet. 👍🏽💪🏾🤠 12/03/24
Well Kyle, it's a machine that houses fire within it...so yes...one would assume it may get hot. I'll have to look back through my cheat sheet I keep in the garage sink to see why I didn't mention it...
@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks buddy! Yea, it's really amazing how quiet it is for what it does. Those torpedo heaters will be good for an apocalypse. They are bulletproof!
Great video! Nice to hear from someone that has owned one for more than a month. Would it be ideal for someone that loves hanging out on their back porch? We can't build a campfire, so just curious if this could scratch that itch? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great content!
Finally, a use for my jet fuel, I mean besides my jet.

I guess it would depend on how many days you spend in your shop, and how cold the climate is. If it is cold as hell and you spend plenty of time out here, letting your slab freeze is really expensive.
So, I realize you're not supposed to just turn it off with the off button, so you shouldn't use it with some sort of external thermostat, however, could you use a smart plug for turning it ON only? My theory...headed out to the horse barn and it's super cold. If I had the switch on the heater as ON, but my smart plug is OFF, it's like it isn't plugged in. I could use the smart plug to turn on the outlet which would activate the heater as the physical switch is ON. Then I head out to the pre-heated barn and spend however long I need. When I get ready to head back to the house, I would do the proper shutdown by turning the knob to the lowest setting. I would then turn off the smart outlet, turn the physical switch back on and be ready for the next pre-heat session. Would this work? I suppose it matters if the unit retains the last thermostat setting? Would I need to quickly turn that back up to maybe 50 degrees before powering it down? Thanks so much for doing these two very informative vidoeos!
This would absolutely work! I have been burning mine a lot the last few days and after I saw your comment, I wanted to take note of the settings. I can confirm that after you power it down (turn off the switch) and then turn it back on, the thermostat always resets to 68 degrees. So your idea will work, but unless your space can make it to 68 degrees, it's going to burn the entire time you aren't out there. One thing I would do if I were going to do that, is have a wifi camera out there on it too. That way you can ensure it lights properly (I have never had an issue) but better to keep an eye on it if you can. Esp with your horses out there!
@@IndyFarmLife Thanks so much for the response! Heater was delivered today, and I have my smart plug ready to go! I do have wifi cameras for the inside of the barn and my house is literally 30 feet away. I am just trying to take the chill off before I head over to it to clean stalls or do any work on the inside of the barn during cold snaps. Additionally, the barn is red iron with metal stalls on a concrete foundation, so there is hardly anything to catch on fire. Each stall has an open 4' x 7' doorway out to the pasture, so no worry about carbon monoxide build up. I'm just so glad I found your review as I would never have expected this heater to be so quiet!
Can you turn the thermometer down so it doesn't run at 70K, if you have a smaller space, run it at like 35K, can't you just pull the plug to shut it down? I have a 35K READY HEATER brand, had it 48 yrs now. 2 car garage, no insulation, can get to 55 or 60 degrees in less than a half hour in 20 degree weather, then I pull the plug for 30 minutes, and start again, would be great to have less noise as I get older.....
could a guy use this in a single car garage with a classic car to tinker with over the winter and not damage any paint work by putting this in the front corner of the garage?
I would say no. We had in a garage for maybe 30 mins and noticed when I left the garage and went outside and did s deep inhale I noticed I could taste a weird taste. Be careful in doors

But does it get hot? You never touched on that.

@@IndyFarmLife hah! Nice video. Looks like a nice heater. I have a torpedo heater and its freakin loud.

You missed the opportunity to point that infrared at your wife’s butt when she was bent over in the fridge. Damn that thing is hot.. the heater😂
Would this be useful for usage of 10-20 hours a week though? I work on my cars on the weekend and wondering if this will last
Me and some of my buddies hang out in one of the garages and have a few with the mr heater and call them safety meetings lol!
I think I'm due for a safety briefing myself....🍻🍺
Is it a dry heat? I have a Mr Heater 100k propane heater and it heats fast but it makes everything wet.

How many hours can you run on one tank of fuel

Did this method work?

Two questions. Fuel burn rate? Can it be used indoors?
I would say no. We had in a garage for maybe 30 mins and noticed when I left the garage and went outside and did s deep inhale I noticed I could taste a weird taste. Be careful in doors
Does anyone know the amp draw on this heater?
Does it stink?
*Not safe for indoor use. They do work well, but don't use for long in an enclosed space, especially if your kids are around.
