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

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

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

Trying to decide what to use in my garage. You sold this to me. Thank you.

I like that brown noise!!

Best advise I found so far on these heaters, thanks.

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

I run several heaters lol, a torpedo heater to get up to temps in around 30min, then a 10,000 btu kerosene space heater for keeping it warm, along with a quartz heater for my work area and when its not too cold yet.

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

Installed a hot dawg ceiling mounted natural gas heater, keeps the garage at a minimum of 50 degrees, can bump it to 65 when I am out there working.

I was looking at the Dyno Glow heater, but you sold me, thank you for the video..

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

Burning fuel puts water in the air. In really cold places like the top of Vt I keep the humidity low in my garage because of old cars and don't want building damage. My garage is very tight...I only recommend vented heaters in really cold places..

I like that heater, might save up for one for my 2-car garage. I have a wood stove in my 24x24 workshop. I also have 2 of those Tera pumps and love them.

Great video and wonderful product

Nice looking heater and will check it out !👍

I have the older version of this heater. Wish mine had the thermostat feature. I run mine on a combination of diesel and kerosene. Even just a half gallon of kerosene in the fuel tank and it keeps the smoke down.

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.

I've got a few salamander heaters and a few propane heaters ive been experimenting with fuel pumps on the diesel heater to get rid of the god awful rotary vane pump no luck yet but I think I might have to pick one of these up

The torpedo heater sound effect was spot on. I was honestly hoping for about 10 more break away sound effects lol

Excellent video I got one of these yesturday they are very quiet Excellent video😂

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

The government EPA regulated safety spouts spill more fuel than an average spout. That is handy and I got one myself.

Super resistente a bajas temperaturas

I want...no I need one about 1/2 that size. Thanks for taking some of my inexperienced guess work out of all the different choices.

That is pretty quiet! I have a Propane and a Multi Fuel and they are both loud

7:08 mark looks like a lot of gap daylight around your garage door. Good video thanks

Love this heater design. Although I wish it didn’t need power. Would be a great heater for emergency use otherwise. Great that it runs off diesel, especially since I have my own diesel tank for all my equipment.

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

That is quiet..my crawfish pot burner is louder than that. Thanks, I like it.

Thanks subscribed and liked

Awesome video! Does the blower electric blower run upba huge electric bill?

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

I got one very similar to that but it does not have a thermostat control but I will say this They are nice

Great review, answered all my questions

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.

Great video Adam. I still havent hooked up my floor heat so this is a great option.

Nice hoodie Adam. Now I have an excuse to run down to Reynolds so I can get me one of those. Nice heater too. -John

Are they better than space heaters for cabinet making workshop 40'x30' ?

Harbor Freight has the same fuel pump for about $15. They work great

I recently purchased a new torpedo heater. Is it normal for it to smell so much in the beginning? If so, how long does it last before it stops smelling?

Any condensation issues? My propane 100k heats my 30x40 building very very fast, but anything metal gets condensation. Ive only used it twice and need an alternative. im also concerned about explosion. I got the garage to temp to paint once. i got the temp up and unplugged my heater long enough to paint and waited before turning it back on. it seems like there has to be a better option. i'm about to put a forced air in it or heat pump.

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.

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.

How's the smell? When I use my torpedo heater it's fine until it shuts off and it reeks of kero. Get a headache from the fumes.

Nice Video thank you. I have a question does it turn off when it reaches the temperature you put in? and does it start back up to keep the garage to that level?

That’s an awesome heater for job site or detached garage/shed. I wouldn’t use one for my attached garage

Hey that unit looks awesome, any concerns with fresh air venting? thanks for posting.

People in the aviation industry really appreciate that they designate Jet Fuel as an acceptable fuel. That way we know we don’t have to go get Kerosene or Diesel…can just use the Jet Fuel we have on hand.

Do you get any soot from this heater?

Nice video. Does it have a gas smell when in use? Why didn't you buy Mr heater floor propane model?

Great review…just bought one. I’ve got question….been running kerosine in it so far, noticed a little fumes from it. Does this need to be adjusted for Elevation at all for a cleaner burn? 9k foot elevation is where it’s used. Or should I try diesel per other commenters said. Thanks and Lee up the reviews.

I would have bought either the Beacon Morris garage furnace that hangs from the ceiling or the MR heater garage furnace because they are quiet and they both can run on either propane or natural gas because they both come with the correct orfices for either gas . They are just as quiet as this is and work just like a furnace in your home because they use a thermostat to turn the heat on when the garage cools down plus you don't have the smell of the kerosene or diesel in the shop with the benefit of it up and out of the way verses on the shop floor . I have mine set up for propane now using a 500 gallon tank but I have a buddy that works for a company that does natural gas lines for homes and businesses and he said he can bring everything needed to do the natural gas line coming off my house out to the garage cheaper than anyone thats all up to code so no more having to call the propane company when the tank gets low or paying as much to heat my garage plus no more ugly 500 gallon propane tank sitting in my yard and can do this all in a few hours . I used to use these kerosene heaters years ago but got sick of paying so much for the kerosene plus after a few years they all seem to start smoking more and stinking up the garage so I switched to a actual garage furnace and have been very happy with it . If you got the room some people will look for good used 2 stage house furnaces on craigslist and buy them cheap and use them because they work good as well but if you don't have the room for one the next best thing is the hanging garage furnace so its up and out of the way . I usually dont run mine until December then just leave it on with the thermostat set at 50 degrees then when im out in the shop working i bump the temp up to 60 degrees and its plenty warm in the shop being its insulated and its usually anywhere from 10 above or -20 below in Wisconsin where i live during the winter so got to have a heated garage to work on anything unless you like freezing your -ss off lol . By spring time and its 35-40+ drgrees out i shut the furnace off and ive still used only 40% of the 500 gallon propane tank for the winter so they are efficient as long as your garage is insulated and you have insulated garage doors and high efficiency windows in the garage .

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.

No moisture or residue problems?

No vent for outside?

Hey man, thanks a lot for the words on the heater, in fact I don’t think life would ever be the same if I didn’t decide to go ahead with the investment of the rocket ship, and as much as I’m sure you and I are not the only ones who don’t care for the Rediculous amount of noise these things are capable of making, well I’d just like to say thanks for informing me that there was still hope, that said maybe some day are rocket ships will cross paths and …….well yeah anyway, appreciate you taking the time for a video, take care man

Is this for indoors

The buzzing from 4:44 to 5:00, what is occurring during this process that makes it significantly louder than when the heater is in normal operation? It kinda reminds me of an ancient oil-burning floor furnace I had. A similar 60hz-like buzz for a minute, then the fan comes on. Nonetheless it was super cool to see this Mr. Heater come to life like a jet engine. Almost makes me want one for that alone lmao.

Do you happen to know how many amps the heater draws? Thanks for the video! We've been trying to find a better way to heat our tent revivals without the noise.

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.

Make sure you are keeping water out of the tank, it will rust through and then you have to red-kote it.

I bought one of the competitors models with no thermostat about five years ago. The thermostat is a great feature. Two things I did with mine is I split the fuel 50/50 diesel to kerosine. That helped a bunch with the start up smoking. Also I run a 18" pedestal above and behind the heater to better distribute the heat. If my old one dies I know which one the replace it with. Great video!

So this is safe to use in a closed garage??

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

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. Of course the instructions tell you to ventilate, do you do that at all or just rely on the open space around your garage door? Second question, I see you have a co detector, have you ever had an issue?? Thanks for the video, very informative.

We burn kerosene and there’s no odor like the torpedo heaters. I have also mixed kerosene and diesel.

As I sit here with "whoooosh" of my 125,000 BTU propane joint screaming behind me, I had to come here to say thank you! You just opened my eyes to a better solution while waiting for my stove pipe to come in. 40x30 pole barn uninsulated open truss. I am putting 3/4" plywood sheets up for storage and to retain heat. Any suggestions? I am eventually going to insulate it using foam, just not right now. I got my wood stove and now i just need venting. Holy Cow sorry for the long comment.

I’ve read thru most of the comments and haven’t seen any questions about noxious fumes. I did see you had c02 detector you referenced. Any concerns about harmful fumes with this unit?

The smoke though.

HOLY DAYLIGHT!!! how much heat are you losing out the sides of your garage door?

Does it leave any black spots on the ceiling from soot rising? If you were to have it in the same spot all the time.

You never mentioned about ventilation or CO levels on these heaters and does it create any condensation if kept in closed spaces ?

Is it still working well? Almost bought one of this design last winter but I read many reviews from many of the different branded ones (they are all made in the same factory in China) and there are many reviews that they fail. Lots of negative reviews. I passed.

I like those heaters but wonder about long term reliability and ease of repair when the time comes. I have 2 torpedo heaters 1 I bought in 1994 and it has ran flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. The other I picked up in a scrapyard and repaired it for less than $50. I’ve added plug in thermostat’s to both and run off road diesel as well, and yes they are loud. I’ve found they run much cleaner on diesel versus kerosene. Maybe if I ever wear them out or can’t get parts I may buy a quieter heater. Thank you for your informative video.

Did you have to make an adjustment to the pressure regulator to burn diesel? I just bought one of these and am planning on running pump diesel in it. Read somewhere that was necessary. Anyone know?

So you have no worries about ventilation or carbon monoxide? I like that heater for sure.

The unit is pretty quiet, but I wish it was cleaner burning. I do get headaches the next day after working in the shop with it.

I used mine 2 years and wanted to change the front metal burner part. They said sorry that model has been discontinued. No parts.

The Internet guys is full of biased trolls don’t ever forget that lol I owned a couple of Mr. Buddy heaters that I use for camping/hunting. They always worked when I needed them. I think I might pick this one up for the garage.

I liked the video for the sound effects alone. ❤

I'm curious to know what the oxygen level is and what the CO level is in the garage after running for an hour or so ?

Would you say it's safe to use inside a garage Carbon Monoxide wise?

I had an old kerosun kerosene heater with a wick. It was good on GOOD kerosene. If it was more diesel than kero...it was unbearable. I still smell it 30k years later...lol

If you’re cold and freezing you don’t care about the sound.

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

Bomb squad is that you?! Got a new kerosene heater today and this is the first video that popped up. Thought I recognized you!!

Now I can’t stop making the noise I’m making salamander noises all day , are you happy with yourself now...😂🤣😂🤣😂😁😁🍸🍸

Kerosene here in South Texas is $17.00 a gallon

Wow that’s way more quite then others I’ve had 🤔👍

Do you run K-1 or are you burning Diesel #2 right from the gas pump. I have the Master Brand version and want to burn Diesel for ease of buying it over K-1 but haven't dared. I don't want to clog anything up? Thank you!!

Garage heater? Never used such a thing. Heat is free here and never ending. If I was lucky enough to live in a place with seasons and the space to have a garage I would like to rig up a radiator system and boiler fueled by wood. The siphon pump is a good idea. Oh and my lawnmower runs on Diesel so that's closer to jet fuel right? Great heater advice from a hot man. Doesn't all that combustion use up your oxygen?

I don't know if I heard this right but like two and a half gallons and 5 hours so it's like 10 bucks every 5 hours let me know if my math is correct

I wish id seen these before i got my big ass jet heater dam there loud af !!!!

you call that quiet! next to that my mother-in-law is the quiet one.

Is that a 9010 echo blower or 910 shindaiwa both are the same

Do you crack open a door while you have this running? I rent a 600sq.ft garage with 8.5ft ceilings that is really well insulated but the landlord won't install a 220v outlet or natural gas, I need something to keep the cold Alberta winters out while I am wrenching.

Is there a bad smell from the burning diesel?

I like the quiet but I still prefer propane I've ran fuel delivery to gas stations for years and witnessed a lot of cross contaminations basically gas in diesel and diesel into gas then with kerosene I've seen a lot of gas stations will run racing fuel 110oct in the summer then convert it back to kerosene in the winter year after year so that's always been my fears

Does it smell like diesel though in your garage?

Is your garage insulated?
