Our Verdict

This heater puts out 215,000 BTU. That is enough to warm a space as large as 44,496 cubic feet. Think barns, warehouses, and big construction sites.

The 13.2-gallon tank runs for up to 7.5 hours. You refuel less and work more. It accepts both kerosene and diesel fuel.

This is not a home heater. It burns fuel and needs ventilation. Use it in open workshops, barns, or outdoor job sites.

The thermostat adjusts from 40°F to 110°F. It shuts off when your target temperature is reached. That saves fuel and keeps your workspace comfortable.

At $389.99, it costs more than most home heaters. For 215,000 BTU of industrial power, the price is competitive. Fuel at 1.5 gallons per hour adds to your ongoing costs.

Massively exceeds the 30,000 BTU excellent benchmark. Most consumer space heaters max at 5,120 BTU, making this heater over 40 times more powerful.
13.2-gallon fuel tank with 7.5-hour run time
Far larger than typical portable kerosene heaters that carry 1 to 2 gallons. This tank eliminates frequent refueling stops on long work days.
Dual-fuel compatibility with kerosene and diesel
Most torpedo heaters accept only one fuel type. This model gives you two options, making refueling easier on job sites with diesel on hand.
