Diesel shop heater that will blow your mind!! Heats my huge shop in minutes! 

I just got my SF120 heater last week and i'm in love. Works great in an older shop where you may have a little bit of a draft. Will also be usuable for most people with a non insulated shop as it can grow with you and be used once you do have an insulated shop.

How many of you are like me and hollered in your head, "Close the door." LOL

That is one BIG Buddy Heater!

That's really cool. I would recommend a CO detector though just to be on safe side.

I'm sold 👌

That is totally awesome. Ye beat the snot out of that thing and it's still running!

I WANT THAT SHOP ‼️‼️‼️🤣

Awesome heater

You are right about fumes giving you a headache. I have a propane torpedo heater that puts out a lot of heat but the fumes make the shop unusable.

Good afternoon Josh, that is one heck of a heater! Not only can it heat the mega shop, but slap a pair of wings on her and you have a private jet😂.

We're I work we've got the same heater they work great Sunfire are good heaters

I like it. Probably works to a degree, even if pole barn isn't insulated. ha

Excellent!! Amazing!!

nice heater

Like a jet engine! LOL! ☺👍

Nice thanks god bless

Josh,you need to have a comfortable place to work during the winter months and not have to worry about things freezing up and having to replace expensive equipment 👍😮😊❤

WoooooooHeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeee!!!!Alright!!!!🤗🤗🤗

Thanks great video. 👍❤️

service is great also

You should put big ass fans on your ceiling too push that hot air down and the cool air up in the summer.

The drop test to assess quality. Nicely done and it survived. Directional infra-red heat but heated floors would be nice. Thinking an oil burner convection heater would be more akin to a space heater but it's all about venting. Make sure there's carbon monoxide alarms installed in lower dead air spaces.

thats awesome. im going to start building my shop next spring.... and being in minnesota, this might be a good solution for my heat.

Cool. Some ceiling fans would certainly help keep heat down.

Boy, I'm for sure going to get that same heater for my shop/man cave. We are just finishing all the exterior steel install, now to work on the front stone work.

Definitely gonna need some big ass fans in your shop. All that heat is going to be at the ceiling a nice little steady breeze to push that heat down and you’ll be in business.

Nice freeze dryer

Hey Josh thank you for the video great heater but if you're not in the shop I would just use the heat strips that you put on the pipes and then put some insulation on it and it will cost you a lot last two run woo

I want to know more about that steel workbench with all the vices’ on it. Where is it from? How much does it cost? Why are there so many vices’ on it?

Ceiling fans, a must

Great video I will be checking out Sunfire. I noticed you have no ceiling fans

Regards to heat dispersion, have you considered installing ceiling fans?

what kind of safety devices does the unit have? i had a wood burning stove but my insurance woudn't cover me working on rv's in my shop with it. this would work great to get me started until i can get a ceiling and insulation and a furnace

i have won the and the custom service is great

Hot Hot Hot

Similar (or the same I’m not sure) are used at the gate on bases in Alaska for the soldiers to stay warm outside while checking IDs and paperwork.

It still puts moisture into the air. If building is tight, it gets real wet over a winter’s use.

Love the idea of little to no fumes. Were you able to get us a coupon code? Thanks for sharing this!

Hi Josh, if you are going to turn the side of the shop into a home did you plan ahead and insulate the floor?

What you think about I got few designs that would top those...

My shop is coming in January its a 40x100 looking for a heat source. Thanks for the info its just a little pricey at the moment due to most funds going into the building

I like new it makes me dizzy Oooo.

I say I say son it makes it toasty, Look at me when i'm talkin boy,

That would be pretty sweet with 3 or 4 ceiling fans

What type of maintenance must be performed to keep it efficient and not burn dirty?

Oh I'm totally going to get one of these for my barn/shop!! Thank you soo much! My insurance said they'd drop me in a second if I put a wood stove in there! They said something about no open flame like a wood stove or pellet stove. I asked why and they said because the space will have gas fumes and other flammables while working on stuff! Grrrrr

Need a Big Ass Fan to get that heat down

Now you need a Big Ass fan, maybe 2 of them to move that heat around.

id like to see a test with both CARBON MONOXIDE and CARBON DIOXIDE detectors running side by side. SUNFIRE is a step these old forced air heaters. for $1500 to almost $3000 they better be good.

Almost forgot. Mine makes no fumes after startup. I just adjusted the air flow to run a tad leaner to get the cone hotter.

DOes the shop have styrofoam insulation under the concrete slab ??

👍

Does the shop come with the heater ?

Radiant with solar would of been an ideal initial solution for that building

That looks like a great heater why did it need the extension cord?

What insurance do you have…my insurance said no way to a wood stove in the shop or garage.

Says good for interior commercial use, so I'm assuming this is very loud. How loud? How many decibles when cranking out heat?

Hey where did you get the heater? I’ve called five dealers and nobody has carried it in years. I’m in South Carolina.

What thermostat do you recommend for this unit? Thx

how does the unit differ from ild school salimanders? is it work on the same basic way? do a video on how it works. great channel

Does this heater produce moisture like the propane heaters?

Short idea : Toast a hot dog & a bun with it just ASMR goodness

How do you get 8500 sq feet my numbers don’t add up can you please let know thank you

👍🏻💯🇦🇺

Josh, why didn't you buy a outside wood fire boiler to heat your shop building?

Did you say butcher shop? Wish you were closer! Nothing better than grass fed beef.👍

I believe it has a catalytic feature, making it less likely to put off carbon monoxide

$3k for this seems a bit steep. What's the difference between this and the regular "torpedo heaters" that can also run on kerosene or diesel? (Besides the $2,500 difference, that is)

Ceiling fans will help keep your fuel consumption down

I would like to buy some beef How do I go about that? God bless

How much fuel does it burn in 1 hr.

For $3000 dollars you could have put a traditional heating system in with the option for A/C

Those are $2500... diesel is 138,000BTU(40kwh)/gal which is $4. 15 cents per kwh is common for electric, add in the cost for buying a good humidifier so everything doesnt rust, and the electricity for that. Plus the hassle of refueling, dealing with carbon monoxide, proper ventilation, fans to move air, fire risk, and insurance issues. AND this only works for heating not cooling.. why?!? Get yourself a 36BTU ductless minisplit for $2000. It has a heat pump so its usually 3-6x as efficient as just using the electricity with an electric heater. If you have a smaller garage, workshop you can get by with even just a $700 minisplit. It takes a couple hours to install, and the lines are precharged.

I have 2 heater designs that can top those

Carbon monoxide makes up anywhere from 2% to 12% of diesel exhaust gases.

$$ OUCH $$- $2,400 heater!!!

Holy Jesus

They look nice but man that' pricey

Two hunters have died from Mr buddy heaters this year in the deer stand

Brutha love the videos but that heater is less efficient than the old space heater i have. Its a 240k btu. And it only uses about 4gl in a full work day.

If my math is right 80 bucks a day to run it?

Ever feel like the things you own end up owning you? That’s a lot of stuff.

Do you live in a barn?? Shut the garage door the heats on!

112 x 50 shop = 8500 sq ft Huh ?? Is it 5600 or 8500 please explain or just a bit rough on math Josh beauty shop tho

Looks like a nice heater but I don’t think I could afford $4.00 an hour.

That thing is very expensive, over 2K (close to 3K)

you say 8500 sq foot, but if you multiply 112 x 50 that comes to 5600 sq foot.

Amazing but way expensive

SF estimates don't mean anything especially considering cieling height, insulation, compartmentalization, and air exchange. Look at BTUs and understand the characteristics of your space.

At 2300.00 it’s real pricey

Landa makes a better version for less money. 😮

Just drive in the shop and leave the door open and let out all your heat………..come on man!

It still has to be putting carbon monoxide in the air

Your "Fair Share" comment struck a nerve, I live in a CO county ran by sheep herders and ranchers, the county contains the #2 natural gas reserve in the nation as well as a healthy oilfield that produces a fair amount of oil. Whenever Oil & Gas attempts to do anything 100 layers of expensive permits / inspections and fines are common. On the other end of the county if a ranch building is needed just pay a nominal fee and get a "good luck with the build call us if you have question's".. No inspections ever unless he wants to stop by and chew the hay with you about hunting on their land.. The "Greedy" end of the county goes out of it's way to make the O & G Co's and their employees pay their "Fair Share" they even coined that phrase for the "stick it to em grin" they share with one another at the local shops.. So if you dislike your heating / fuel / food bills thank the local, state & federal gvt (They make more profit from the energy than the energy companies do). What i pay for a 2,000 sq ft shop on a 100 x 120 ft lot Is the same as what they pay on 2,500 acres of prime farm land with buildings. they inform me it's commercial so you get charged more.. Well the same rate should apply too you as your making money off your land / buildings as well (most sell expense hunting or offer the pay too play a cowboy vacation packages) some even get federal farm subsidies thrown in on top of that... Like you I'm smart enough to know where food comes from how it's delivered and what heats the houses & factories and what's on the backside of the light switch. Grazing on public lands drastically reduces wild fire hazards. But why do we penalize productive people and the Companies that pay good wages, while rewarding the lazy? I guess I just said my "Fair Share" on the subject. PS I Love you content, keep it up.. Oh and rather it be code enforcement or law related the "We got a call" must be properly vetted and documented prior to the response. The next time that is thrown at you ask for the caller ID log number on the complaint.. Most of the time it is "Little Lies" which they are allowed to tell to gather information..

Nice but $2,500.00 is a lot to think about.

As expensive as diesel is now , Not happening.. I rather use waist oil heater . Easy to build and cost is zero for fuel.. Can heat the entire place remarkably with no fuel cost at my place, and it will have no emissions inside.

Josh i hate to say this but i really don't believe you built the shop big enough 🤷‍♂️

I just listened to your freedoms comment only to have my reply blocked......

WHAT....WHAT....WHAT....WE CAN'T HEAR YOU...THE HEATER IS ' TOO ' LOUD...

Dumping a $3,000.00 heater off a loader to see if you can break it is pretty dumb ass......but did enjoy the video.
