Same thought here, I wouldn't want everything on the wet/cold ground either.

[@patrickb5656]

You are the 2nd KZbinr who had power issues with that heater. I was thinking of maybe buying one, but not anymore. I want it for an off grid scenario. You could switch your supply pipe to a flexible insulated duct and reduce a ton of heat loss using galvanized pipes.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I had no power issues, you just need to get the correct adapter for what your on or off grid scenario will be. The only power problem I had was my own stupidity. I did not understand how they worked. Now I have everything set up how I want it.

[@stevenlein4772]

Looking at the Bluetti it has a 12v dc power port. Why not use that? Save the power supply for when your on shore power or the generator. FYI that power supply is designed for use indoors or inside a cabinet it has little or no moisture resistance. I like the flagpole setup thats awesome.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I would have to buy another convertor, or a cord that plugs into the cigarette port that then splits into just 2 wires. Seems like a waste of my time when I can just use the convertor and use it wherever I want.

[@shootandfish2]

I may be totally off-base, but you might want to reconsider using the Bluetti as a 'stand-alone' using the 12v power port. I'm thinking that by using the power port which is essentially 12v dc to 12v dc will the most efficient. Guessing that when the Bluetti converts dc to ac, a 10-15% loss occurs and then another 10-15% loss occurs when the convertor converts ac back to dc. @@NorthernSeclusion

[@rlwoods61]

Joe, You are killing me! Read the manual. When you put it on 3.0, that mean 3 pulses to the pump per second. The heater maintains the exhaust output at a certain temp. Mine is around 200 degrees Celsius. When you adjust it down to 1 or whatever your lowest setting is, it will adjust the fan speed to maintain the output temp.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

My directions were not that clear, or the way it was written did not click in my head. Lol. That is why I read all comments, so I can learn. Thank you.

One day I was cruising on the back side of a Walmart and saw a crew, 2 man crew and they were onloading a semi with a coverer ramp with medal rollers and they were just feeding it inside, thought you could hook something like that up with the ability to self feed the wood to you so you could feed the burner with minable effort, just babbling on, Thumbs Up Guys...

[@cjm6271]

I was thinking of something that you might try in lieu of the supplemental fan inside the fish house. You could move the fan switch on the thermostat for the furnace from auto to on and leave the heat set to off. I am guessing that would give you a gentler/quieter and more evenly distributed heat throughout the fish house.

[@vic2265]

A suggestion would be to put that bluetti into a box or cooler or something to protect it from the cold and wet weather or I have to believe you will start having some issues. Other than that a great addition to the fish house!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

My job with the Bluetti is to test it. I prefer to test it in more extreme conditions. They sent it to me for that reason. All I would have had to do is plug the convertor into the wall plug in inside the fish house (like I said in the video) but I am running the Bluetti instead. You know me, it either works or it doesn't. Lol. So far I cannot seem to break it.

[@JeffK1962]

I have heard of people using a plastic camera case. With removable sections in it to put the diesel fuel pump into. It quieted the fuel pump enough so it was not very loud at all. Maybe one of your diesel heaters can use a setup like this. Liked the video like always. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@typete01]

I think you can change that heater to operate on temp celsius as a thermostat instead of the pump pulses. Another thing you might want to consider is some kind of rigid backer for that foam insert in the window. You don't want to be on the ice at 10 below with a 30 mph wind and have your "window" blow in during the middle of the night.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

That foam is an inch and a half thick and it is very hard getting it into the grooves of that window frame. I think even with strong winds it will be fine but if not I will have to add something.

[@madampolo]

I love the fish house. It has all the comfort of a home. That heater sure puts out the heat. Hopefully, you can learn to regulate the heat more as temps in the 80s, to me, is too much. I hope your surgery goes well and that you won't have to cut much wood afterward. I hope you get a lot of sap for maple syrup. When will you be back to working on the guest house?

The p stands for pulse. It how much the fuel pump is dosing the burn camber. I made a wooden box with roxul insulation to put the fuel pump in to quite it down. I also used a piece of 3/16” brake line as a pick up tube and put it directly in my 5 gallon diesel tank. I used small engine fuel line to run to the fuel pump.

[@warp103]

Just a Fyi you do not want the power supply transformer in the weather at all. Moister will mess it up fast. Best to mount it inside or make a custom cover so it can still get air but limit Moister. Then it will run for well years if not a decade

[@awstott]

You're not imagining things about the diesel smell on startup. I have two of these heaters and they both smell a bit right when it starts up. You might be able to switch your controller into temperature mode from pulse mode with a combination of button presses so it will ramp up and down as the temperature demands.

[@stevejones9588]

Me too!

[@rlwoods61]

Joe, Doesn't the Buletti have a 12 VDC output? You could just hook the heater up to that. You would have to check the amperage output of the 12 VDC circuit but it should work.

[@stevejones9588]

The bluetti will certainly run the diesel furnace without an issue.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

People are NOT understanding what I was trying to accomplish here. If I am somewhere with grid power, why would I want to drag out the battery? I used the battery so we could see how much power it uses. People are all bent out of shape on this (some) lol. What is the difference in plugging into the cig port with a cord or plugging into the ac port? It gives me more options to use the heater in different places. Some of the power stations with 12 volt ports only put out 10 amps also and the heaters need 12 to run correctly. Some people could not get the heaters to run at all. I do not have that problem with the bluetti but not everyone has a bluetti.

[@rickmartin9296]

I’m watching you hook diesel heater up to your fish house just to let you know I’ve learnt if you hook 3 inch tube a little bit of a distance out of the heat side of the diesel heater. It will cause it to overheat and shut down. You should always go from a 3 inch to 4 inch right out of the diesel heater on the heat side.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I did not have any trouble with overheating when I ran it the 6 or 7 hours but I did hear that can happen.

[@Barkville732]

Do you have help to load the wood stove after your surgery, I doubt the doctor would want you doing any heavy lifting for a period of time.

Joe, the Blueddit does not need you to add the 12 volt power pack. The Bluetti produces 12 volts DC as one of your outputs. You can connect the Bluetti directly to the heater dc line. You are wasting power by using the power pack. The Bluetti has 12 volt DC as well as ac available.

Scares me to see that you’re having these changes now and really a quick change for your location !! Really quick change ! Thoughts ?? Take care Joe

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We had a very harsh winter last year and the year before but as far as snowfall, last year broke all the records. The year Melissa moved up here was a very cold year that broke a lot of cold records. Looking back at the records for entire winter seasons, the 2001-2002 was warmer. 1944 had the warmest record temp in January on record. The EL (whatever) we are having this season is causing the warmth this year. Look at Alaska, they have been frigidly cold this year. Next week we get cold again so I really am loving this winter and do not read into what the media pushes. This really is not a quick change, this has happened before. We actually had a cooler than normal summer season last year. Melissa loved it but I wish it would have been a more normal hotter summer.

[@TonyGeneseo]

For sure. I don’t listen to anything they say lol. All BS. Everything runs in cycles all through history as far as the weather goes.

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

Wondering why you dont get a table or build a stand for the diesel heater and battery. Gets things out of the muck, dirt and a cover to keep the rain off. Also to shorten the hoses to force more heated air. Could almost rig up a 2-4 inch stove pipe suspended from the roof with a vent at the bed and wherever else you wanted. Pretty neat the solar panel charges the battery efficiently. I think I would buy a rigid panel(s) to replace the one that came with it.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Like I said in the video, the next diesel heater project will be done differently.

[@gabeanprepper8409]

Honest question. How in world does someone without all the skills that you possess, use these heaters? I'm completely overwhelmed just trying to follow along. Of course I'm mechanically challenged so obviously I shouldn't take on such a task, but dang. Do they make a model for dummies? 😂 Sorry, too complicated. 🤷‍♀️

[@NorthernSeclusion]

If I can figure it out you can too. They are actually pretty simple. I learn a lot from comments. I learned this time that the 1.7 to 5.4 is how much fuel is allowed to be burned. 1.7 would be low, around 3 would be medium and 5.4 is high. With that knowledge (which is not clearly stated in the manual) the heater is easy to operate. You could easily do this project.

[@davidgurgir]

Why are you not working on the guest house???

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Because I do not do what you want me to do? Because I have surgery coming up and the wood HAS to be cut or we will be screwed, because I will not have anyone here to cut it for me for a full month. It is ice fishing season which is more fun. The videos get more views also which is important right now since for at least 2 weeks after surgery it will be hard for me to do videos and I normally do 2 per week. To make you happy though, Melissa leaves this Saturday for her Louisiana trip to stay with family for a week. I have already been getting everything ready so I can spend some of that time in the guesthouse.

[@johnklenzak1001]

Your power pack is designed to supply dc from an ac source. You are creating a loop that is wasting power out of your Blueitti. All you are doing is wasting power in the Blueitti. When you adjust the power panel you are just adjusting the bias in a total of 3 tenths of a volt. The output dc voltage should be 12.36 volts. All you were doing was just adjusting the bias voltage coming out of the dc supply. The dc supply will short out if it is left outside and it gets wet. It is not designed to be exposed to water or moister.

Another option if u don't want to buy a power supply and you have an old laptop charger handy, just cut the end that plugs into laptop and wire it the the heater. Laptops run off 12 so the charger converts it from 120 to 12v.

[@wallacebrubeck3377]

Two Questions: 1. I saw a DC outlet on the Bluetti - is that not 12 volt? Could you not just hook the heater up to that and skip the mess of the other power supply? 2. If, when on internal power in the fish-house, you said that only the battery supplied outlets work. Are they not 12 volt? Why couldn't you hook the heater up to that power and then use the Bluetti to keep the house batteries up on their charge as they run the heater? Eiither way, it looks like the external power supply is superfluous.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Those batteries usually only put out 10 amps and the diesel heater will not run on 10 amps, they need 12. Yes I could set it up differently and maybe make it work (not using that battery) but the way I did it was so simple and now I can use it anywhere even if there is not a battery present but only grid power. For my needs and what I see myself using it for, what I did will give me the most options.

[@billbrown4240]

Could you not plug your diesel heater in to your bluetti 12volt outlet and do away with your 110 to 12 volt converter. One less item to deal with

[@NorthernSeclusion]

No, well yes and no. Lol. The power stations put out 10 amps, you need 12 to run the heater correctly. You can buy a convertor that can help with that but I wanted the battery or grid power option in case we are camping with grid power or if I want to use it in a shed here at the farmhouse.

Yes. Same brand name but a different style of heater. This one is narrow and tall vs the shorter wider version I used at The Tent.

When are you having your surgery? I just got done with a quadruple bypass surgery....its not fun joe

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Glad you will be doing better. My surgery is on March 5th.

[@colleenwilkin5705]

What happened with the work trailer?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

They are still going to get, but it is winter now.

[@rickardjohnson4524]

What was your diesel consumption?...

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I showed that in this video. I am going to do a video in the future, where we will test that so we know exactly.

[@ThomasSmith-fz6wq]

Iam thinking the red heater is designed as a work shop or commercial application

[@jamesjohnson5046]

r u a steeler fan i noticed u were black and gold

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Lol. I watch no sports at all. I do not even know what state the steelers play in. I just saw online that the super bowl is this weekend. I never watch it.

[@garycothern3617]

Do you have a link to the converter?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

This is the one I bought. You will need to buy a cord for it also. www.amazon.com/dp/B08LDC41B6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[@denniscote686]

Surgery, huh? Better get Melissa to cook up a TON of meat, and bring it to you every day! Cuz sure as shootin, hospital food sucks, and that won't get you healed up in good time!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Ha. It is just hernia surgery, I will come home that same day.

[@rodneyrote6261]

Just plug into cigarette outlet don't need inverter

[@NorthernSeclusion]

That is fine if I have a cord that plugs into the cig port and has the 2 wires. What do I do when I do not want to run it on the battery? seems stupid that if I have grid power somewhere that I would use the battery. I used the battery this time so I could show how it works but i do not want my only option to be the battery nor do I want to have multiple cords. Seems like the way I did it gives you more options.

[@Sel_Lemma]

Joe!!!!! can you do us all a favour and make the videos..... how do i say this i need to choose my words carefully ....COMPACT. not everybody can watch over an hour long videos.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Sorry, that is not going to happen. Over 80% of the subscribers prefer longer videos.
