Overview

A shop, garage, greenhouse or construction site gets a portable heater that burns kerosene or diesel and warms objects directly with a radiant plate. The description says forced air is combined with radiant heat in this line.

Quick, quieter fuel heat with a portable body is the reason to look at it, and overheat protection is built in. The limitation is that ventilation needs and the run time per tank are not stated in the listing.

Who it's for

Tradespeople, shop owners and greenhouse growers who can store fuel and want quick heat will find the portable body convenient. Households wanting a simple electric heater for a bedroom should choose another type.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High heat output
  • Radiant plate plus forced air
  • Plug or battery power
Cons
  • Ventilation needs not listed
  • Fuel tank size unstated
  • Heat output units appear garbled

Performance notes

The radiant plate warms objects directly in the way sunshine does, while forced air spreads heat through the space. Output depends on the fuel burned and how much of the space is open. The description says it runs more quietly than conventional kerosene heaters.
