Overview

A forced air burner drives this Master torpedo heater, fed by kerosene or diesel, with electric power from a pack or a cord. It stands on a pedestal and has a thermostat and overheat protection.

Battery or plug power for a high output heater is the reason to look at it, and a cold-start system and thermostat add control. The limitation is the coverage figure, which differs between the specs and the description.

Who it's for

Shop owners, farmers and builders heating open work areas away from a reliable outlet get power options. Households wanting a simple bedroom heater should look at an electric model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Battery or plug power
  • High heat output
Cons
  • Coverage listed two ways
  • Needs fuel handling
  • Room type entry looks mismatched

Performance notes

Forced air pushes heat out of the burner, and a thermostat cycles the unit to hold temperature. The battery or cord supplies the fan and controls, not the heat. Output suits open spaces where the heat can spread.
