I have had this same heater in a 25' x 25' garage workshop for about 4 years and it is fantastic, and you can use it outside about 6 to 10 feet away blowing on you while you work on or under a car or tractor and stay toasty while the surrounding air is below freezing. Inside the thermostat works much better if it is 3 or 4 feet off the cold floor, on a sturdy table, and is much more accurate if you use a box fan to blow the air around the garage to even out the temperature.
I used the torpedo kerosene heater. If was easy to follow the instructions to burn diesel. Had ceiling fans that ran pretty much all year. That heater served me well and it gets into the minus temps here all winter. I really thought it was the ticket. That was a while ago though. Technology marches on.
Mine was delivered last night. After getting it together, I sketched out a simple design for a two wheeled cart. It will have a handle mounted in the rear. Will be able to tip the front just enough to get it off the floor for repositioning or putting away till next use. Never move with heater running.
Wow, that is such a great idea. Mine was a little hard to lift from the ground up the back of that Kawasaki mule when it was full of fuel. I have an old garden wagon that I may convert to try to do something like that. Someone commented earlier That having it a couple of feet off the ground makes the thermostat work a little better. Thanks again for the great comment. God Bless, Ol Slick
I had a forced air torpedo heater. It came speked for kerosene. It came with instructions to burn diesel. Was easy and 55,000 BTU. Man that thing took the chill out of my steel clad shop. Hope you have good luck.
Thanks for the comment, I like the forced air torpedo but my only complaint was that it was so noisy. However, I would not buy this heater if I’d had a torpedo heater already. Thanks for the comment, my friend. Ol Slick
A group of us got together at a friends house several years ago to play cards in the dead of winter. My dad borrowed one like this from work but it was bigger and man you didn't need to run it long and it was HOT. Like your desc says don't run it long in a closed area as some of them got to feeling a little bad after it ran due to the fumes.
Thanks for the comment. Yea I’m discovering that this thing blast well but it leaves an after smell. I’m using this heater mostly outside now. I’ve ordered one of those Hcalory diesel heaters for my shed… it has an exhaust pipe so should work down there better.
Great video. Love that you can use different fuels as you get access to. Way better than a torpedo heater in regards to sound. Thanks for that. I found it on amazon.
Thank you for watching and certainly thank you for the great comment. I’m really enjoying this heater, however, the diesel is leaving a bit of a smell in my garage so I may (even though I said I was not going to) try the kerosene and see if it smells better. Be Particular, Ol Slick
I bough a Mr.heater 210k torpedo but now thinking to get that one since my garage is just 20x20x8. My garage doors are not well insulated either and have some draft
Thanks for the comment. I’ve enjoyed mine so far. I’ve used it outside quite a bit also. Check out the link in the description for that heater. I did a video on my two burner propane heater also check it out. Have a great day. God Bless. Ol Slick
Hi Slick ! Great video/review, very pleasing to watch. I know you wrote in the comments that there was an after-smell, but i had a thought: What about firing up the heater outside first, letting it fully warm up, and then bring it inside ? I know it's heavy, so maybe on wheels like a cart or dolly. Just an idea as i know these give off a little puff of smoke when they first fire up. Consider firing it up outside or at least aiming it out an open door at first, and then of course safely reposition it to your liking with your own method. Stay safe & be careful !! Cheers from upstate NY. 👍🇺🇸
Man thanks for the great advice. It definitely leaves a lingering smell for a few days after use. I'm do not smell it when its running outside so Ill try doing what you said. Thanks for the great comment and i love hearing from you guys up north when it comes to heaters and staying warm. Not too cold down here in the SIP, but as I'm getting older, its nicer to stay toasty. Have a great everything and God Bless. Ol Slick
Also forgot to mention, I believe the standard is 3 square feet of open door or window, (for fresh air) per each 100,000 BTU of direct vent heating. So figure you need at least 2.1 ft^2 for the 70,000 unit. I hope you're able to have the right amount. Have a good week !
Have a 34' x 42' uninsulated pole barn and I can't do much in the winter. too cold. Going to have to insulate first I believe then that may be the answer . I don't spend much time in there but after 30 minutes i'm frozen.
Yea I believe that heater will do it for you. I heats my small areas up really fast. I’m using it more in my outside areas lately. Thanks for the excellent comment, my friend. God bless Ol Slick
Over the passed 30 years i think i have used them all from Kerosene to Propane in my 20x20 garage the only thing i didn't like about the Kerosene was the initial start up and shut down smell but hey it worked the propane one i have now is one of those fan powered deals it works great but it's it like a Jet engine running so i think I'm just going to mount a couple of blue flame propane heaters to the wall but at one point i did look at the Mr Heater because most people seemed very pleased with it great video. BTW Pennsylvania winters also suck 😂lol
Thank you for such a great comment, my friend. Yes sounds like you’ve dealt with a lot more cold than I have ha ha. I have a little closed down breezeway between my garage and the house and I think I’m gonna put one of those wall mounted propane in there. The heater in my video did leave quite a smell in my garage and my wife was not happy about that. Thanks again and have a great day. God Bless. Ol Slick
Thanks friend. It was an old shed and I re roofed it, and made a cabin of sorts out of it. I’m opening it to Trans American Trail riders that pass through crossing the country. It’s going to be my RUclips studio… you’ll see videos down there as my channel grows. Please subscribe. God Bless you. Tommy
Thanks for watching my friend and I hope it helps you choose your next heater! However, this heater did leave a bit of a smell in my garage so even though I said I was not going to I may try kerosene to see if it smells better. I certainly need to make sure I have more ventilation. Thanks for commenting my friend Ol slick
That was a pretty good review of the 70k BTU Mr. Heater, you may not have been sponsored before, but you should be now! Since it burns fuel, what the ventilation requirements for such a heater? C02 buildup can be a scary ordeal.
Hey man good to hear from you again… thanks for the comment. I would never run a ventless heater too long inside without a co2 sensor ( I have one in my shed) and would never advise sleeping in an area while running this heater. Thanks again, UT Be Particular
Have that exact heater. I also have it in my insulated garage. After 10 min of running, I need to turn it off. Best diesel heater I ever had. Thanks for sharing!! 👍👍
I have this same heater and have used it for several years. I bought it for the same reasons you bought yours. It will burn diesel but it seems like it soots up some and the photo eye gets dirty the heater wont light. You get an E1 code on the display. If you retry to light it several times it will get fuel build up and eventually when ypu finally get it to light that unburned fuel will burn up at one time. Flame will come out a foot past the screen. It works best on kerosene...which unfortunately costs $5/gallon here where i live.
I never considered availability of diesel to propane or kerosene! I like that idea very much. Does the diesel have much of a smell using the Mr heater and would it be usable inside your home during power outages? Does it require A/C to run or batteries?
Unfortunately Ive discovered that it does leave a sorta sweet lingering diesel smell and i will not be using it in my little shed cabin. Venting is necessary. Im going to try kerosene and see if it has that same smell. I think kerosene may be more available / convenient in other places than it is in Mississippi. we pretty much have to buy it in the can . Thanks for commenting. I would not consider as power outage backup. it runs off AC God Bless Ol Slick
Oh, Ok...I was wondering what that was. I had friends in the Army from up north and told me tales about having the fuel truck to pump fuel into their houses. Makes sense now. Thanks for the info and the great comment. God Bless. Ol Slick
Thanks for the comment my friend. While I was running the heater I did not smell anything, but the next day there was a faint smell in the garage. The smell dissipated after opening the door a few times. The last of that video was cooking outdoors at my church…everyone loved that heater. Be particular, Ol Slick
how close can a person be without damaging items. Thinking about putting something like this into a single car garage with a classic car to tinker with over the winter but not much room in a single garage. I don't want to damage any paint work being too close. Suggestions?
I don’t think I would go with this for a small garage. Look at my video on my duel burner propane heater. That 70000 diesel heater gets really hot and it may stink up your car. Also look into one of those small Chinese type diesel heaters that you can vent the exhaust outside. I’m going to try the vevor or maybe spend a little extra on a Mcalory. I’m going to use one of those smaller heaters for my shed and camping. Hope this helps my friend. Please subscribe I’m almost at 1000 subscribers. God Bless. Tommy
Thanks for the reply… I also would not purchase this heater if I had the salamander. I was thinking about it being quiet when I filmed working on projects, however, it gets so hot so quick I believe I’m gonna be just turning it off real quick and the noise really shouldn’t be a problem. Thanks for your comment friend. Ol slick
