[@michaelpederson7726]

Steve! This Tilley is incredible!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@doinsngoins]

Thank you Michael, got lucky, fired right up ! Have a good week ok 👍

[@michaelpederson7726]

@ I missed out on a smaller fount Tilley R1 a few months back… kick myself everyday for not snagging it. I think it would do really well in an ice fishing shanty!

[@doinsngoins]

@michaelpederson7726 i can't believe how much heat they put out WOW

[@jasonwildebrandt2034]

Holy cow that thing is freaking awesome great job Steve great job indeed. That's possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a while

[@garrydeskins5857]

That's so cool Smalls! 🔥🔥🔥

[@doinsngoins]

THANKS G , 😊

[@CheezeheadChris]

I really really, really enjoyed this video!😉😎👍🏻 I'm confused though. The wick helps light the bulb above? Very interesting. I have to agree with Sean, you like to live a bit on the wild side. I think I have tried lighting it outside 1st time around. It is an awesome piece! 😎👍🏻🔥

[@doinsngoins]

The wick is technically not necessary if you preheat with a torch. However, they sell a clip that goes on but below the generator the clips have asbestos or some sort of fire retarded material that can soak up alcohol and then be clipped on for a pre heat , same principle as lighting a kerosene lantern with the warming cup . my idea worked. However, I need to use a different material so it can be reused .

[@doinsngoins]

REALLY!!!! haaaHaaaaa

[@BluegrassBushcraft]

That's awesome. I still haven't tried to do anything with mine. It's still sitting on the back of the shelf. I had even forgotten about it until I watched this video. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@doinsngoins]

I got lucky, it fired right up ! Cant wait to see yours Rob , boy they really put out the heat !

[@lightofgodindarkness]

Awesome thanks for sharing Steve

[@QuantumMech_88]

The parabolic reflector is in great shape . I've seen a couple of these at boot sales in the UK. Thanks for sharing and stay safe Steve.

[@doinsngoins]

Thank you !!! Yes this whole light up was an easy lift !!! Awesome heat 🔥. Thanks Pat !

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

[@doinsngoins]

Thanks Chris , probably like 5000 degees !!!!! 🤣

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

@@doinsngoins - I was guessing about 5,000 or 6,500 degrees! 😂

[@kenneth6731]

It doesn't get any more awesome than that!

[@doinsngoins]

FUN FOR SURE!!!! Have a great week Kenneth

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

[@shovelhead8]

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

That is a beast heater 🤣🥵 I love it !

[@doinsngoins]

RIGHT !!!!

[@robertolson5054]

Nice demo .thank you sir . How did you go about polishing the reflector ?

[@doinsngoins]

Thank yoh so much 🙏 , I used a microfiber rag and kerosene to clean the dish really good , then mothers mag polish and a buffing wheel on a drill ( slowly) have a great week !

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

That is such a clever looking heater! Stay SAFE though 👷⚠️ it’s WORKING FINE!!!

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

That's cool Never seen anything like it !

[@doinsngoins]

Thanks Chuck!!!!!

[@jasonwildebrandt2034]

Hey Steve I just picked one of these up I'm not sure what brand it is but I've got to get a few pieces together and when I get back home I'm gonna give it a go. Very excited kind of nervous, video coming soon...

[@doinsngoins]

Oh man CANT WAIT !!!! They are a different beast but they run very well !!!!! Good luck , please post 📫 🙏 💙

[@doinsngoins]

Nervous Haaahaaa , Just tape some tin foil over your eyebrows, letter RIP !!!!

[@MrRdmiller]

That is wild. Never seen one. Works great too. You might try alcohol in the wick to avoid the smoke. Cleaned up very nice. Is this a seller or a keeper? 👍🏻

[@doinsngoins]

Keep , yes, as soon as I lit tgat wick I was like ...oh ....

[@TwelvePointTroutOutdoors]

That is a very cool heater! Curious what year range that was made? Thank you for sharing!

[@doinsngoins]

Im pretty sure 1960s , but not 100% on that , they really put out the heat !!!!! Thank you 😊

[@TwelvePointTroutOutdoors]

@@doinsngoins Very cool, thank you!

[@jasonwildebrandt2034]

Is that the same one you thought you had missing parts ?

[@doinsngoins]

Oh yeahhhha , No but let me pull it out now and see if it's all there

[@cabotbluegill]

[@doinsngoins]

CANT WAIT ! Mushroom heaters????

[@oldschoolwithamoderntwist6074]

Interesting. I have never seen anything like this before.

[@doinsngoins]

Thanks James ! Fun stuff

[@cindysquirrelloffgrid9514]

that's too scary for me to light. good job

[@doinsngoins]

Well , if I had used alcohol for preheat, it would have been much much more under control. It's awesome heat though , thank you Cindy 😊

[@kalabatwinsandfamily3528]

Oohhh never seen like that 😳🙈

[@doinsngoins]

Interested right ? My first experience as well ☺️

[@scudosmyth784]

Best use methylates spirit in the pre heater, less messy/smokey.

[@doinsngoins]

Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it 🙏

[@jasonwildebrandt2034]

I've seen some people take an old instalight Coleman and put a salad bowl on it and try to sell them for like 5 to $800.🙄

[@doinsngoins]

HAAAHAAA , that hilarious, probably much of the same , boy, I'll tell you , the heat is no joke ! THANKS JASON

[@toolrestoration]

Braver man than me !!!!

[@doinsngoins]

HAAAA HAAA , or certainly 🤔 a daredevil!!! Thanks Jim

[@daltontomlinson3777]

Like your “MacGyver” preheat solution.

[@doinsngoins]

Unfortunately it turned to ash , next one I will make from something that wont disintegrate

[@doinsngoins]

Thanks D

[@jonathanwright5550]

I use meths for the preheater wicks just a touch cleaner

[@doinsngoins]

Thank you I have since learned this and your absolutely right thank you , I appreciate the kind comment 😊 have a great weekend ok 👍

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

Should really use 'METHS' for the pre heat lighter! dx

[@doinsngoins]

Ok David

[@SuperGlocker77]

Denatured alcohol is your friend.

[@doinsngoins]

For what , the heater ? Or for the light up ?

[@doinsngoins]

Ohhh , yeah , I get it the heating process. I should have used alcohol right ? Ok, my bad , and the comment was sarcasm , I GET IT ! Ok cool thanks I will be sure to remember this friendly & informative comment from Kevin Massey 👍

[@SuperGlocker77]

@@doinsngoins it's for preheating. You don't get giant fireballs and black smoke that way. Enjoy your Tilley heater.
