The Best and Quietest Garage/Shop Heater On The Market! - Mr. Heater Kerosene Radiant Heater 70k BTU

[@seymourwrasse3321]

the older heaters work so good.....after a while they would bring tears to your eyes

[@jamesfish5630]

In my 3000sf shop first year used torpedo heater caused condensation, roof ice dams and headaches. Second year installed 150Kbtu diesel furnace which heated it ok except floor to about 3ft was an ice box! Third year bought a (Canadian brand) center fired direct vent propane ir tube heater 50ft long heats floor and migrates all across it. Typ winter propane usage is around 300 gallons. Been 15yrs and still love it, best investment ever!

[@scottross6272]

I almost bought a torpedo today but thought i would do a little research. Glad i found this video and will buy this tomorrow. Thanks

[@IndyFarmLife]

It's still going strong! Ran it all day today. I think you will like it!

I mounted mine to a cart from northern tools easy to push around when needed great heater

[@IndyFarmLife]

Is that what the kids refer to as a "mobile hot spot?" 🤣🤣

[@paulwatson4189]

They are great heaters. I used a couple on small drywall jobs and they warm everything in the room not just the air. When the power goes out they are safe for inside use with a generator outside of course. Only use diesel fuel to keep the smell down and you can buy a additive that will make the fuel smell like grape of strawberry. Well worth the money.

[@IndyFarmLife]

ha that last part is pretty interesting. May have to try that. I'm curious!

[@scottross6272]

Cart before the horse sort of speak. Pole barn 30x48x10 built but the spray foam guys are booked out. I own a lawn care snow plowing business and it is 8 degrees. Tailgate has frozen shut with tonneau cover on so i couldnt get in the bed to grab a shovel. Drove to the manual car wash and sprayed truck down for 20 minutes to remove a lot of packed snow/ice. It only cost me $2 because as soon as i put the $2 in i realized the line to spray nozzle was frozen. Luckily the owner of the wash happened to be there so he apologized and swiped his card and told me to use it as long as i want. Awesome. Got tailgate to work. I dont mind some ice build up but need my stuff to work when needed. Still can feel resistance when lowering gate but i shall heat up my barn.

[@GarlandFarms]

@@scottross6272 I've heard that the torpedo heaters are a dream for guys like you because you can blow hot air onto your frozen equipment and get-r-done quickly that way.

[@josejoseph2424]

copy pasting a question which i too would like to know about: ventilation or CO levels on these heaters and does it create any condensation if kept in closed spaces ? i just brought a Mr. Heater gas heater and i am returning it because of CO2 emission level and i have to open garage door and have a ventilation unit running... my garage is not insulated.. so basically i am just flushing that heat. i would like to know if u can use it in a closed environment or should i need to provide exhaust ventilation

[@gabrielfernandez566]

How is the air quality do u need to open a window etc?

[@michaelthomas4346]

I know it's a year later, but thank you for the honest review. I just cannot stand using my salamander. So much as I bought a radiant propane heater, and its great. But I'm looking at this very unit, and that's how I found your channel. So I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. Thank you

Thanks Michael! Glad it was helpful! There is a link in the description for it as well. Not sure if someone other than Amazon has it cheaper or not right now. Hope to hear from you down the road!

[@thomaskumpf8912]

I have this heater, too. Great unit, lots of great online reviews that helped me decide it over other models.

[@Chickennss]

I suggest you get a continuous monitoring CO detector that displays the level. Most of these alarms aren’t designed to go off until a specific level has been reached for a specific amount of elapsed time.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Good advice. I'll run one down!

[@Doc1855]

We have a small wood stove in our detached garage / shop. It’s very well insulated just like our attached over sized 2 car garage. I’d like to get a heater so I don’t have to keep using wood

[@craftman5632]

Crack the door and a window open just a little bit, get some cross ventilation. Just a reminder when the tank run empty of diesel it will stop on its own, and let out a burp of black smoke.

[@markmanning5683]

What do you do for Fresh Air ventilation? I recall when Kerosene Heaters were a rage in the 70 and 80's, but they also were cautioned about CO2 issues.

[@fightingclassics953]

Good heater. However...If your outside air temp around the unit is below 41F you have to use a small heater to feed the intake for the thermostat or you cannot shut it off correctly. My shop is open on one end and I use this to heat an area. The air temp around the heater still may be below 41. Just FYI. I called tech support at MR Heater and they told me that was on page 4 of the manual. Good video.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Good point! I have had situations where I had to let it run to get the room temp above 41 to shut it off properly. (after having the garage door open) I'm curious in the grand scheme how hard an "improper shutdown" actually is on the unit.

We all love to save money initially but if you can afford a nice insulated shop just buck up and get a ceiling mounted natural gas or propane heater installed at the time of the build.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Fair point. In my case I wanted to avoid using propane. I don't want to deplete my household supply. If this was a daily use shop it may be a different story. I use it on weekends when it's cold Dec - Feb and not much more.

Hi, I just purchased this heater and I appreciate the video. I didn’t see you talk about how, or even if you ventilate your space to avoid co2 buildup.

Second question, I see you have a co detector, have you ever had an issue?? Thanks for the video, very informative.

When the spaceheater comes on you don't even hear it. I made a cover for the spaceheater out side with 2 peaces of plywood to keep the rain and snow off of it. Use diesel fuel in it to so you don't stink like kerosene. Best set up I have ever used. Just like a heat pump actually !

[@returnofsid]

@paul watson to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, you're using a torpedo style heater, placing it outside, and piping the heat in through stove pipe that's directly covering the end of the torpedo heater? Did you plumb it through the wall, using double wall pipe? If you double wall pipe it, all the way, you'd have less heat loss at the exterior piping, though that's probably not much of a realistic consideration. I've done something very similar, on a much smaller scale, while ice fishing. Using a portable diesel heater, outside the pop up, plumbed into the hut with a short piece of 3" double wall. It eliminates the noise AND the need to vent fresh air to the heater, AND solves the CO2 issues!

@@jeffreyheverly9011 No Sir. I had read about/watched a video where someone said they needed to do that, so I was ready for it. But I just put diesel in it and went for it. I have run through multiple tanks so far with no issue. It has always lit on the first try too. I figure if I had some bit of an issue that would be the first place it shows and take a time or two to lite up. It's solid.

Canned kerosene is $12/gal in NW Arkansas. No pump kind available.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Woof. I was burning diesel tonight. Get some ag diesel (dyed diesel) to save some cash!

[@RobertKingofMaine]

Thanks subscribed and liked

Same fuel transfer pump at Harbor Freight. 10 bucks

[@markcole6475]

How much fuel does the tank hold and how long does it last while in operation?

[@IndyFarmLife]

I can't recall off the top of my head but I know I mentioned both early on in the video.

[@Boobtube.]

2.7 gallons i think he said. 5 hours of run time. Just replay the video, it's all there.

[@markcole6475]

@@Boobtube. must have missed it I guess! I’ll rewatch it

[@shawnhorne9296]

How much do they cost 🤔 thanks

There are links in the description.

[@cranerigging3604]

Nice looking heater and will check it out !👍

[@IndyFarmLife]

It's toasty!

[@toddbrown3055]

I have same one. I think the fumes are worse traditional salamander. I run kerosene.

[@chucksgarage7165]

Is there a bad smell from the burning diesel?

[@IndyFarmLife]

Actually no. Smells nothing like the exhaust from a machine burning diesel.

[@dp981]

What do you do to exhaust the system? Don't tell me you breath the kerosene burn...

[@jimmyjennings8956]

What's a garage heater? I live in Mesa AZ. Now if you would have said air conditioner.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Ha if only that were the case around here!

[@johnlennon1049]

Great video! Thanks! I subscribed too.

[@indymx6]

LOL I felt like I was there in the garage with the sound effects! That's awesome that it's so stinking quiet. I never use one just because of the fumes but this one seems pretty legit.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Haha it has been a pretty good unit thus far. Very low on fumes and very high on heat output. The best part is how quiet it is.

[@indymx6]

@@IndyFarmLife Absolutely! I've been in plenty of garages working on cars running a salamander and its so freaking loud you can't have a conversation with the dude right next to you.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Exactly! Technolgoy at its finest!

I had the 80’000 BTU Remington version…Nothing but a fire hazard when the photo lens that controls when it shuts off or turns on gets a little dirty .It caught fire multiple times..I have a big garage with 14ft ceilings and it kept it warm if you left it on all the time....Kerosene was $42cnd for 9L so I started using Diesel..Very hard to start when running Diesel when it’s -25c ..The fan wouldn’t allow the Diesel to light up properly,I had to fabricate a piece of tin to slip in front of the fan so it would start..Diesel fumes made me feel sick all of the time and at the end of the winter my $100’000 Boat had a nice layer of Diesel Exhaust particles all over it.. I threw it over the bank behind my garage.DANGEROUS JUNK..
