Joe, I don’t care what you try out on your Channel!! It’s your channel and you’re like a brother to me. As for the smart Xss complainers who say goodbye. Who’d want friends who behave so poorly. Just one thing: don’t stop putting up your wonderful content, and have coffee with me one day in the future. I have quick access to the Empire Builder and I’d be there in a day or so. I do have a cousin who lives in MPLS, I owe him a visit, too. I think so very highly of you and your family. Thanks for my favorite content.
😮 So many uses.since you are reading this I'm saying hy and hoping you get your venison this year .happy hunting and good luck to ya all.
Only thing that heater could be improved on would be a gauge in the fuel cap
Thanks for shareing.God bless.
I’m 77 and have watched every video you’ve ever posted. I spent my whole career in HVAC. What you said about popping the return from the living area is the proper way to do it and way more efficient. By the way I’ll never miss one of your videos. Your like family now.
I don’t even know how many years I’ve been watching this channel, but probably pretty close to the beginning. And I will always watch it no matter what.
Joe , I follow Simple Alaska living and they just put a diesel heater for their chickens. He also ran one filor his dogs in the back of his truck. I have no doubt this will work for you and Melissa. I have followed you for a long time...congrats on 100 thousand.😊
❤yep i watch them too and i love what they did ... joe you keep doing whats best for you melissa and your family 😊 only you know how to walk in your own shoes mama always said . Noone can tell u wats best for u except you and your live ones close to you .. i lo❤❤ve your contents and it teaches me to prep and what to use and not for my family and friends..❤❤❤❤
I also watch them and Joe's channels. They love them in Alaska
Your channel is one of the first I started to watch on a regular basis. I don’t think I e missed one in 4 or so years. I’m glad you’re doing product reviews. You’re a natural in front of the camera and always very informative and entertaining. Congratulations 100,000 subscribers. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to deer season at the tent.
Just bought one for my cabin. Thanks for reviewing that heater. It's exactly what I needed.
Joe and Melissa, we have been watching your channel from day one. Love the things you guys do, from camping, fishing, cutting grass… there are so many more thing. You guys are amazing!! Have a SUPER day! 🙏
Joe, it makes perfect scence to recycle the inside air that is already heated that way you could run it at a lower setting and save fuel. I would extend the exhaust away from the door just in case the door gets opened. If you have time Simple Living Alaska have a story about installing a small diesl heater in there chicken coop that might be perfect for the out house. Love all your video's and life there is so different from here in Australia where summer is coming. I'll be in Japan for Christmas so I might get my first white Christmas ever. Enjoy the ice fishing. Cheers!
I come from an HVAC background and your idea about pulling the air from inside the tent will work exactly like you think it will. I agree with you on the idea. The system will run less and use even less fuel.
Love you, Joe I’m going to purchase two of them for survival purposes like if the power goes out for a long period of time in the winter time least I have a way to heat my house because I don’t have a fireplace. I live in a subdivision which I absolutely hate that’s why I watch all these shows I just would love to put myself out there but again, thank you for all the videos that you put out. I so appreciate it. This is Scott from Pleasant Grove Utah. Thanks again for sharing your life.
Sorry about that love you part voice to text doesn’t work all the time
I really thought we were having a moment here Scott. LOL.
Hey Joe. Been watching for years. I always look forward to the notifications. I think it's great you are reviewing products. Thanks again for letting us share your life. NC here.
Thank you Randall.
looks like it works the way you want it to. and the outhouse idea is a good one.
Those heaters are really popular with truck camping people. I bet it'd be great for a hot tent, too.
Had no idea it got that cold in Minnesota. Wow. Thanks for these videos man I just got my heater installed.
The beauty is its dry heat, no condensation causing mold problems..... I'm a truck driver and have a different unit but same idea to heat bunk
I have been a subscriber to both channels since 2018 and I enjoy watching all your videos your videos have given confidence to do my own projects
I appreciate how you read every comment Joe.
I always do. Thank you.
The fuel tank capacity is 1.3 gallons. I just purchased one to take the chill off of my small 10x16 shop.
I've been thinking about one since I saw Zach's video. Then I was watching Simple living Alaska and he has 3 of them. I just ordered one just like Yours . A few years ago I had one that was factory installed in my truck sleeper and I loved it. I would suggest wrapping the exhaust pipe with muffler tape incase one of the dogs get to close or something like leaves were to get to close. Great video.
I bought one for my truck camper. The stand up model Silvel for space. Hooking it up this weekend. Thanks for the reviews!
Great video Joe. You answered a lot of my questions.. I am getting one for my ice shack.. Thanks again !!
Thanks Joe, very interesting.
Something like that would be awesome for when I tent camp. My Little Buddy heater does fine, but it struggles on the really cold nights. Another great idea, Joe!
I'm pretty impressed with this idea! I would like to try this with my water supply. In deer season our water storage room.Tired of thawing out the lines. And I agree with the " Chinese " comments . You are absolutely right . Everything we buy .mechanical. is built offshore. Great video.. I know you can't, but I wish you put out a video everyday.
Great review Joe !!! When I first saw Zach’s heater , I thought that’s neat. I looked it up again when you started talking about it and now you have me wanting 6 of them. A couple to use and 4 to have in storage. The price is right too !!! Oh , and you definitely gotta get one for the outhouse. I think it would be a great Xmas gift for your dad’s cabin and outhouse too. 👍 See ya on the next one…
Thank you Joe. I think I finally found the heating device I needed for my apartment...in case we have a power outage. Looking for the all in one model.
Thanks Joe we all should know that you’re a no nonsense person, thanks for your review! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
I just looked at my ammo and I found 4 full metal jacked bullet in 1 box . I haven't had that gun out shotting cents 1986. I am happy I did not take them out of the house because tomorrow is opening day for deer.
Sounds like a keeper Joe. Glad it worked for you. Gonna look at some when I go to town. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.
Upsolute great video Joe, I like how you explain everything. I am a retired plumber and I understand exactly what you mean.
Greetings from 🇨🇦....Bernie
When you use it in the fish house run the exhaust up with a extra pipe. Get it above the camper and you should be good. Just a thought. Great job on all the videos.
Congratulations on 100 grand subscribers you deserve to get some returns on all you do putting out as many videos for everybody to enjoy Thank you for all you do God Bless you and yours
Thanks, Joe. Pretty sure im going to order one for my ice shack. Probably the small one.
JOE, thanks for the info, hope it all works out for when Sarah comes up !
Also keep the fresh air intake far enough away from the exaust so it wont suck in some of the exaust funes.
Joe, as MANY have already stated, you're FAMILY to us here in Atlanta!
Thanks Joe!
That is a nifty little heater. I hope it works well for you!
I know a few people that use the diesel heaters and love them. Just my preference is going with a vented propane wall heater. Quiet and puts out the BTUs. Less chance of a mess with the fuel.
That is a good way to go, it is just so much more expensive to run propane vs these diesel heaters. The no fuel mess though using propane is nice.
@@NorthernSeclusion Lots of moisture from the combustion too. None of that with a heat exchanger
18:05 👍👍 and if you want to extend the exhaust pipe just use copper pipe
So far, I'm liking the stuff you are trying out on the channel. It fits in with the things you are doing and we are all curious about it. I've bought a power source and have been thinking about getting a diesel heater, both are very handy to have in case of power outages and using outdoors. I say keep doing it, you aren't going to put something on your channel that isn't useful and we get to learn about a cool new product. : )
Ole Joe, Congratulations on 100K! I've enjoyed watching the ride!
The reason I (and others) wondered if your fuel would gel, is because it's most likely we live in areas that don't get as cold as you do. e.g. I'm In Manchester, UK and while it does snow every year, it's never has been or going to get to -5F, never mind -30F. (Thanks for mentioning me on the video - I was a bit surprised)
p.s. Congrats on the 100K. Maybe put the plaque in the Workshop?
Great video. Joe, we burn our Silvel heater very often. We started burning a 25\75 kerosene \diesel mix and it seems to burn much cleaner and the tank of.fuel lasts longer it seems.
What’s this mix you speak of… because I want to do the same. The outside of the heater says no kerosene so I’m hesitant. Thanks
I'm all for you getting things and review them ,You should get more out of these video's and more are doing it,you really look things over ..
Thanks for the product review Joe !
Keep em coming 👍 it’s useful information for us
Thanks for this. I might get one for my cabin.
Blowing cold towards heat source is reference to fans in tent pushing cold air towards warm area heats an area better than trying to push warm air to a cold area
I can't remember which channel it was, but I have seen videos of a guy that heated his rather big family home in Sweden in the winter with two or three of these heaters, but the smaller type with a separate diesel tank. He too put them in an enclosure outside but connected to a larger fuel tank. They burned all winter without a problem although I think he made sure to always have spare fuelpumps around. I saw these videos a few years ago, so I am not a 100% sure I got that fully correct.
The only problem I see with these heaters connected to batteries is protecting the batteries against low temperatures and making sure the battery stays charged enough. If you bring the battery with you put it inside the tent it will be fine, as long as you transport the battery inside the cab of your car and not in the bed of you truck. For on grid use a transformer to 12V should do the trick like you said.
61 degrees here in North Dakota today! All because you bought a fish house ;-) Also, very interesting about the fuel and having it dyed and the costs.
Hey Joe I have one of them diesel heaters in my basement that I keep on low because my basement doesn't have heat I go through about three and a half gallons of fuel in a week. And yeah it would be a great addition for the outhouse.
I'm in upstate NY. Our gas stations have "white Kero" It is road tax free and can be run in a house oil furnace . People including myself use it in those pot belly kero heaters made for inside your homes. Our heating oil companies change over to straight kero in the late fall into spring so it doesn't jell outside in the tank. I'm not sure how it works at -30 but we get sadly down to -10 . Locally, I don't think they put anti jell in the diesel road fuel .
I would also suggest that if you extend the exhaust to make the extension a bigger diameter pipe. It's designed to run on that size pipe for the two foot that it is. If you use the same size pipe it will create drag because of friction and the heater may not have the power to push the fumes a longer distance .
Hello joe, I just watched your video on the heater. I too recently purchased one similar but a different brand. I'm thinking of mounting mine outside of a window at my cabin, my idea is to cut a piece of 3ply that would fit in the window and drilling out a hole for the hot air duct and cutting the metal grate in back where the cold air intake is and installing a piece of dryer duct to the 3ply as well so the air from inside the cabin is recirculated. To see how that works.
The way you wanna route, it’s just like we do on the semi trucks. It’s really no different. The only difference is is the exhaust. You can make that tubing longer or rout it in a way to where it doesn’t blow into the intake if it was outside like you have it currently.
Always looking at your videos, on both channels.
Great ideas for your heaters (diesel). Yeah nice
One thing we can all agree on is the sound of a fresh beer cracked open for the end of the video is a beautiful thing 🍺😁
One plus of having the conditioned air coming from the outside instead of the inside is it creates a positive pressure inside the tent. So any spot that may let cold air leak in (around doors/windows etc) will have warm air blowing out of it when that diesel heater is on and blowing.
Really enjoy your videos, can’t wait until the next one. I appreciate your honesty
A lot of over road trucks have similar heater (look like a torpedo). Mounted under the bunk. With the exhaust tube venting outside. It pumps fuel from the trucks tanks. There is no diesel smell, and have the same start-up ticking sound. I like to put one in my horse trailer.
Hey Joe what if you were to put the battery inside where the air hose comes into the house and run the wires through the same hole tucked along that tube. That would protect the battery.
Would really use a bluetti,we go camping alot.thank for all the great info.Merry Christmas to u and Millisa
I still use my old Dearborn 15000 British Therma Units brick heater with propane tanks.
Congratulations on 100K! I love you channel.
Good luck with deer season can't wait for the video.
Hey Joe- i’m just commenting on the diesel heater… Just wondering if you could retrofit an old ice chest cooler… You could put your battery in it as well as the heater… And still be portable, and it would be insulated and protected from the outside weather… Just a thought.
Joe put some stabilizer in your gas or diesel fuel.. keeps it from gel..
The fresh air intake I think has to do with air pressure in your tent, if you put it all coming from inside you will notice air around your doors or other air gaps increase , I had this happen to me on pellet stove, I now draw fresh air from outside but my fitting is loose on the inside so I kind of get combination of the inside and outside air
Love my Harman Pellet Stove 😀 Enjoyed 👍
Have wood heat only in my shop . Seriously thinking about one of these to take the chill out of the air when i first start the wood stove . Waiting to see your final answer to see if this one holds up . Only way Id quit watch your channel is if you start running AARP commercials . Lol
Hey Joe, It is much better and less complicated having the heater inside. Run the exhaust outside, use slip off coupler, the battery stays warm or get an AC to DC 12V converter (this eliminates the battery all together) the heater will last longer being out of the weather You're heating warm air, so it runs more efficient. Its a win win and no brainer to bring it inside.... And I do know what I am talking about...
I think that’s great for the tent. And you can use it for something else to.
A lot of people who live in vans will use a diesel heater to stay warm. Or you could use it as an emergency heater in case of power outages.
Would the air intake being up in the air at 6 feet or so work better? That way you can keep it outside and more portable. No more holes in the tent. Exhaust and carbon monoxide is heavier than air and will stay and settle at the lowest point. An extension on the exhaust is brilliant!
Question for ya, could you go over, What spinning gear you use for fishing? like Rod/Reel choice and different Lures for different fish you fish for. thanks, enjoy your content
Great video Joe can’t wait to see deer hunting the movie good luck this season the heater neat heater would that work for a tent as well u think
Are you putting a metal sleeve through the tent wall for the air in/out tubing to connect to ? And is there a good solid way you can cap it while it is disconnected. Would you consider putting the intake up at the 6 foot level, since warm air rises. Put the battery inside and run the wire out to the heater.
Looked it up, the operating temp range is +50C - -40C. You should be ok at the tent. Fish house, not sure if you would be out at -40
According to the listing on Amazon, they hold 1.3 gallons.
I love honest product reviews. The more ya know, the better purchase you can make. Now joe if i see you advertise AG3 athletic greens, its gonna make me wonder lol.
A 12v rv black tank heater pad would eliminate any chance of fuel jelling and give the battery some heat not to mention melting any snow on it.
Real good review! Honest and reviewed from your application (or intended application). If I may, one comment from my experience. Before we had power at our cabin we used a generator. Biggest improvement I did was to extend the engine exhaust up above the roof level. No exhaust fumes outside (and eliminated some of the noise).
Now a off subject question, what kind of camera(s) do you use, any recommendations?
Thanks and keep us up to date on your experience!
What a great nook to dry out boots.
I like your review videos!
Large plastic tote, large enough for both the battery and heater.
You want to get that exhaust off the pine needles. lift it off the ground and cover the unit from the weather. Take care.
I watch alot of vanlife channels and these diesel heaters are very popular. I have heard that some of the Chinese cheap heaters throw an error code (E5 I think) and people are saying they take the metal cover off the heater to create more air flow around the components and then it runs fine.... Also, they find if you run them on high they tend to burn cleaner and less carbon(?) build up.
Fill it and run it . When you add fuel use a measures amount so you'll know exactly how much you used . Then figure out you hours per gallon
Thank you
Yup, usually "full blast" will heat you out! 😅 👍😎🇨🇦🔥❄
great video thanks joe
SIMPLE LIVING ALASKA HAS ONE IN THE BED OF THEIR TRUCK WITH A CAMPER TOP, ITS STAYED COMFORTABLE IN THERE
Use heating oil as it doesn't have any bio in it like off road
I think that would be perfect for the outhouse. Going to the bathroom in the outhouse in freezing weather is unpleasant, but listening to the Wife complain about it....way worse!
Just add extentionm on outside exhaust to vent further up from fresh air intake❤
I wonder if it would burn fuel oil
So I just bought one of them too joe and Melissa. Well since I watch this video, if Joe bought one maybe it's works good. 💪 are they that loud or does it Quieter. I going try it in my shed. Or would I call my man cave , I built for myself. Is ponderosa.
Just bought one on eBay today, thanks
Joe, check out simple living Alaska’s channel, they built a diesel heater for their dogs in the back of their truck! Very small and economical!
Excellent Video Joe👍 I am thinking of picking one up for ice tent and possibly in my cabin for the winter visits. I would like mine portable like yours. Do you have blue tooth function on yours? Always carrying cell phone might be a handy function.. Making a storage box for outside use might be the way to go. Then just keeping battery warm and adding to fuel to stabalize for -30 temps….. I’ll keep watching for your input!! Thank you B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 ( good luck ice fishing this winter!)
