Diesel heater suggestion

[aaron600rr]

I’m looking for a backup heating solution for my 10x15 wall tent. I usually use a wood stove, but with the fire ban likely lasting deep into October this year, I need an alternative.


I recently purchased a cheap Vevor 8kW diesel heater, and so far, I’m not impressed. The exhaust smokes heavily, and I’ve already had to replace the low-quality fuel lines.


Does anyone have recommendations for a mid-tier option? I’m not looking to spend $2,000 on a high-end unit since I might only use it occasionally. That said, if I find a unit that works well, I could see myself transitioning to a diesel heater instead of relying on a wood stove full time.

I have had good luck with the Hcallory TB2. No visible smoke and very little smell. The electronics (Bluetooth etc) have worked without issue,

+1 on the Hcalory line. I’ve been very pleased with mine.

I've also run the vevor, it runs better at near full tilt. the only time I've had issues was then it was running at a lower heat settings and had a ton of carbon build up
