If you get tired of that load pump noise there are many vids on how to quiet it down. Just isolating it away from the sheet metal case, which amplifies the noise, helps a lot.
I got one of these last year but its in the red case and not as tall but is wider. I use mine on weekends to heat my little work shed 10 foot by 12 foot in size and at 0 degrees celcius inside it`ll heat up the shed to 18 celcius in about 45 minutes to an hour. It will burn a bit of fuel though to get it to that temperature about 1/3 of a tank but once set temperature is reached the burner ramps down and goes into keep warm mode which it just sips fuel. It also helps having the fresh air intake pipe inside. I power mine directly from a 120 volt to 12 volt converter (also a Vevor rv converter) and never have to worry about a battery to recharge. The whole unit is mounted to a shelf on the wall and I have the exhaust piped outside the shed thru a double pipe wall pass thru...basically the double pipe allows for an air gap between the hot exhaust pipe and the second layer of pipe. I was paranoid of the single pipe getting too hot passing thru the plywood wall and potentially igniting it on fire. Eventually what I will do is find a heater core from a vehicle and pipe the exhaust thru that and have a fan blowing thru from one side. What this does is two things, cools the exhaust and also acts like a waste heat recovery from the exhaust.
I read that you connected your unit to a 120V to 12V converter. I’m looking to do the same but not sure why convertor to get. Do you have a name or link on what 120V- 12V you went with?
Apparently the best set up for one of these is the whole unit inside to recycle the warm air plus the exhaust and intake outside to stop vacuums. I did see one setup outside in a little box with pipes going out of the hot into the house and another pipe coming out of the house going into the intake so obviously dont have to listen to anywhere near as much noise i think i might do that even if it looks a bit messy.
You go Nate. Soon you'll be able to buy a place to live. I hope you make a lot of money doing these videos. Love the reviews. I hope they let you keep them too😊
I recently bought the same heater. May i suggest moving the intake up onto the side of the unit where it has unrestricted airflow on all sides. I think it will make a difference in the longevity of the unit and the amount of fuel it uses as well.
Hi mate. The exhaust pipe should be flat or down hill to stop condensation buildup. put heater on the inside and exhaust pipe underneath the door drill a hole in a piece of metal and put the exhaust through it, and then you can put a piece of 4 by 2 to the rest of the gap in the bottom of the door hope this can help you stay safe and well 👍🇬🇧
Just throwing in my 2cents , use muffler exhaust pipe sealer and get stronger hose clamps for the exhaust pipe the fit on the hot exhaust is a tad loose seems like I’ve read a few complaints about leaking smells on reviews . Not brand specific in general and my experience. Thanks
Why don’t you drill a hole inside of some like the side of the garage or something or where you’re gonna keep it at and run the exhaust pipe outside and that way you always have it inside and you just turn on when you want to
I thought about buying a model like yours same brand from Amazon I thought about leaving it outside and running the heat duct for the actual heat through the basement window and connecting it to one of my old furnace registers that’s already there. I would insulate everything with heater/furnace duct insulation my question is are these safe???? are you absolutely sure no diesel fumes are going to get in the house does it have a sealed heat exchanger chamber?
