Hi Joel, hope you a nice day. You are a very versatile influencer.
Very cool stuff. It looked like a much better setup with the heater outside the tent. I just set up one of these heaters for my wife's she-shed and it's worked great, so far.
Once you get them up and running, they are fantastic
I just started watching your channel and I am so impressed with your skills and knowledge. Thank you for sharing awesome ideas. Keep them coming!
Thanks for your support. I'm happy you enjoyed the video 😊 cheers!
Thanks for the tutorial on the diesel heater. I’ve been trying to decide if it would be a good purchase for me. But now, after watching your setup/review video….I’m definitely sold on buying one 💯. I wouldn’t have ever thought of making the setup as simple and effective as you did…what a great idea 💯, Thanks for the links and your honest review 💯😎✌🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for the feedback! I truly appreciate it. Good luck with your build and safe travels! Cheers!
Sweet setup! I agree wood is good when your IN the woods but for ease and speed of setup to being warm I run a Gazelle T4 Hub tent and Ignik Firecan. 5Inch usb fan for air circulation. Off of a little 200amp/hr powerbank.
Yeah that'd be a great little setup. Nothing beats a wood fire!
@@JoelTremblayCA yeah I know, just waiting for the G Stove to come off of backorder
Nice work perfect I have one set up to keep my garage worm,and Keeping it portable for the reason you are using yours . Thanks for sharing
That sounds like a good use for a diesel heater! Do you have a larger tank to store more fuel? Thanks for watching! Your support is deeply appreciated.
@@JoelTremblayCA no I just use a 5 gallon cherry can with a small pump on it. I only use when I’m working in my garage so it’s not hard on fuel. Thanks for the reply
Been curious about these heaters, not to bad priced but having to listen to that click sound the heater makes would drive me nuts. Glad you made this video
Thanks for watching! Yeah I've seen that you can buy "quiet" pumps. Or maybe there's a way to insulate it so it's quite. With that it would be perfect! The sound is the one draw back. On low it's not too bad! Thanks for watching
You would think a company would make a robust tool battery powered diesel heater. Designed for a violent snow machine ride in a sled getting smashed on trailer bumps for days on end without a single drop of fuel leaking!
I feel like someone will definitely pick up on this as these heaters get more popular. I agree, the all in one cheapo units aren't built the best. I'm tempted to put mine in a Pelican case of sorts.
Nice video 👍. Did the same thing as you and build a power bank. So much cheaper then buying one. Nice one.
I agreed, more bang for buck if you're handy. Plus you can fix it. Thanks for watching!
Very nice project, that could come in handy for so many different uses, and well done on explaining the steps of the build as you went along, I enjoy your video's, take care and stay well :)
Thanks for watching Gordon, truly appreciate the feedback! Safe travels and here's to a good New Year!
Holy crap those batteries are not cheap! 550 dollars for that 50AH. Man I wish I could get one for free for my ice fishing. Lol.
I'm a dealer for these batteries and can get them for a discount. Checkout my website to get a quote! Buy once, cry once, these are the best that you can buy. Thanks for watching
He obviously got this one for free.lol
Not much of a chance of ice fishing in Carolina, but we have experienced below freezing temps on a few hunting/camping excursions. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Definitely a good backup source when in need!
Great video, love your ingenuity !
Thank you!
Great project, well done! 👍
Thank you!
Nice build, I figured you put the heater outside. Careful tho, the electronics for the heater doesn’t get exposed to too much moisture being outside (snow, dense fog, mist)
I ended up extending the controller cables so I can route them inside. That being said, the metal "case" itself is not water tight and I've been thinking about tearing it apart and putting it into a Pelican type of case. Thanks for watching!
Buy a ryobi battery holder on e Bay cut to fit in heater case fit 24 to 12 buck converter 30 amp ..with switch..hey Presto runs 5 ...7 hours ..then just change battery 6 ah
Joe this was very informative and I learned a lot here thank you so much for sharing your process!
I’m in the market to go in this direction and you have really simplified this for me
Nice job!
Thank you for the Feedback! Truly appreciated. Thanks for watching and good luck with your heater build. Cheer!
Nicely done!
Great video! Very entertaining as well as educational. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching. Your support is truly appreciated!
The "update" is the best way to run it. Figure out a way to run the intake into the hut also and you will have it made.
That's exactly what I did in a later video, worked perfectly!
@@JoelTremblayCA You could run a return hose to the heater from the tent to make it more efficent and it won't gum up as fast.
@@MHdollrevievs checkout my next video, that's exactly what I did!
Ha ha. It really wouldent be a video if I dident modify it.......Sounds like someone I know. Awesome video
Thanks for watching Mike!
Having it outside makes sense, plus the clicking sounds annoying. I suppose you could try and re-rout the intake to a second pipe you run through the door. Maybe even shelter the unit itself too.
Yeah exactly! I'm going to test if running a long intake (recirculating) line makes a difference. I found it much better outside, less hassle and more freedom inside! Thanks for watching.
Thanks. Helpful details
Thank you!
Very good 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Clear, concise & Canadian! Thank you!
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Ty sir!
Great video!! been wondering how to run a diesel heater when most vevor, webasto, etc require 15amp input. Most gas and battery generators have 12 volt 10 amp outlets.
Yes exactly, even the power packs we see now flooding the market only have 10A outlets and won't start a heater. Best to connect directly to a power source. Thanks for watching
I bought a heater last year. Just getting around to setting up. After the initial run on a deep cycle I will most likely just run my small generaor to keep the battery charged for overnight
@@harrycrannell7895 I run mine on my lithium battery absolutely no problem. Solar during the day will bring the battery up to 100% for the next night usually.
What detail is assigned to that blue carry box that also serves as a heater stand with what appeared to be added mounting / connecting holes for the heater’s 4 base “feet”
Good eye, I added 4 bolts through a blue grocery bin. Not sure what they are called. I made the bolts stick out the bottom so that the legs of the heater can prop into them securely. The bin also keeps the heater off the ground and can be used for transportation! Thanks for watching!
Is there an updated link for the Canbat batteries? The website is crapping out.

Here is a link directly to their website. I'm currently updating my site and so that link is down momentarily.
If you want a discount, send me an email and I'll see what I can do for you!
Chamfering your terminal holes? Sheesh talk about over engineering lol but really though awesome build
Thanks for watching haha. It was the largest bit I had available 😂
do you find the Pelican 75 tough to pull? I have a 45 and it sucks. I think because i have a decent amount of weight in a tiny sleigh. I liked that heater. Would be worth having around incase of an emergency or portable heater around the homestead. I have diesel since i have a tractor.
My fishing this year on Nip is like the video. Seems the walleye are just licking the scales off my minnows. lmao
Great video as always Joel!!
I don't find it too difficult to pull but you're right when it's loaded, the nose of the thing tends to dig. I noticed this when pulling it with the sled. Thanks for watching, safe travels and tight lines!
I love your dog!! What's his name?
Her name is Echo!
How long it working and how many time using util u have to charge it battery
It can run for 40+ hours using the heater. Thanks for watching!
I tried a welding blanket to protect my tent from the exhaust pipe.....that didn't work out to well lol does the heat wrap help any?
I made a mistake of putting on exhaust tape not wrap.... It does help but actual exhaust wrap apparently you can touch it bare handed. Thanks for watching! I just keep the heater outside of the shack now.
What is the price difference between the diesel and propane per gallon ?! Here in the states diesel is 5 a gallon and like a buck a gallon for propane , kool build tho !
I'm not sure what the conversion is but diesel around here at the moment is around $1.89/L it costs like $7 to fill the heater. The 1lb propane bottles which are a total rip off are like $16 per bottle... Not sure what the going rate is to fill a normal tank. Thanks for watching!
So I guess the Bluetti didn't suffice?
Yes, unfortunately the Bluetti 12V cigarette lighter plug is only rated to 10A and the heater probably pulls just over that at startup, so it sets the unit into a fault (trips the fuse). I wish they made a 15A DC outlet on it then it would be perfect! Running directly off the battery is best in my opinion for this setup as I rarely need of an inverter for 120v AC. Thanks for watching!
What type of run time do you get on a battery that size before charging? Nice set up easy and simple
I run out of gas before I run out of power! I could easily do +20 hours if I had unlimited fuel. Thanks for watching
I think that’s a decent amount of time considering the small package. Thanks
200 watt/hr
Joe-How u doing?~ unusual uploading-:)
Hi! I'm doing good! Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support 😊
Great video Joel. What's the runtime on the diesel heater as far as fuel goes?
It uses very little fuel. I've ran it for 10 hours on low-medium and it's used 5L of fuel.
Would you ever recommend a portable power station battery?
They work great for what they are, and I personally have one. But you get more bang for buck using a battery if you don't need 120v. I know a lot of people have had issue trying to run a diesel heater off of them too, mine for example won't work with the diesel heater. Thanks for watching!
You really don'
t want that diesel heater to melt thru the ice right :)
I don't think it would ever be able to do that hahaha. Would be a lot of heat.
Does it make that clicking noise all the time?
Yes that's the fuel pump. It gets quieter the lower settings. You can wrap them in foam to try and isolate the noise. Thanks for watching
How warm can it get? Is it comfortable for camping?
It sure is! Thanks for watching
Just went to use the battery code, and it's only 5% applied.
Hey Cody, thanks for bringing this to my attention. There appears to be a discrepancy in the system. I will get in touch with Canbat and get some clarification.
I've got in contact with Canbat. The code is now 10% off. Thanks again for letting me know!
I'm curious to know what kind of temperature you achieve in that tent. That little heater seems pretty cool for the price, and I really like the portability... wondering if it makes enough heat to just take the sting out of the air, or if it warms the room enough to be in a t-shirt. Would it warm a small enclosed trailer (like your camp trailer) enough to make the wife happy? :)
Oh yeah it can definitely cook you right out of the space no problem! Thanks for watching
Its sad, I laid down to watch your video cus of interest in DIY applications. I was saddened when I got up and had changed the video when you made it a sponsored video. As a 50 year ice fisherman. If you need a phone to monitor your battery life...... stop fishing before you get hurt. And now that I know Canbats name I know I WILL not buy from them.. Good luck
Imagine getting FREE access to videos on topics you're interested in. Videos of which an individual spent hours and hours scripting, filming, and editing, on-top of physically building something with their own money, and then complain that the said individual included a sponsor of a brand, not a complete random one I might add, but one that directly correlates to the topic, products, and project of said FREE (to you) video to watch... I'm sorry the one and half minutes of me talking about a battery and how it works forced you to get up from your bed... Maybe you should get a remote? Ah, the batteries are probably dead.
@@JoelTremblayCA couldn’t have said it any better!!! L take, just skip the ad if it was so offensive. Amazing video I was interested the whole way through. Stay warm!
This isn't "fishing." This is sitting in a tent freezing with some dude and throwing back all the fish because you're not really there to fish. What are you there for? Come on. We know.
Not sure what you mean by this. For your information our lakes in our region have "slot sizes" which essentially determine the size of fish you are allowed to keep with your fishing license. None of the fish we caught fit into the legal size we can keep therefore we have to put it back... Something to do with conservation of the species? The whole point of this video was to focus on the heater and power build. Thanks for watching.
