Who knew a day on the ice in Alaska could be so comfortable?
We put our new portable diesel heater to the test while out ice fishing for rainbow trout. A great addition to keep our hut warm and toasty.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Built one last year and I have the same ice shack. Keep in mind the heater can only raise so much temperature above ambient. Therefore if it’s -20 outside it may not perform as expected as opposed to feeding it air at 60 degrees. The fix for this is to move the heater inside and extend the exhaust under the tent. I use a welding blanket between the tent and exhaust as it gets blistering hot. The other thing is your battery will do much better in the warmth of the tent, also elevate it off the ice and snow. Hope this helps.

Why not just buy a bullet heater? The one I have would run you out of that tent in 5 minutes if left on high. And it has wheels. And runs on diesel and kerosene. 330,000 BTUs. They make smaller ones that are more portable and almost as much output.

Doesn't diesel fuel gel when too cold? Not sure the specs, but that would be a real bummer if you were unable to start the heater when really needed. I may be misinformed.

Tip: When using a hole saw on plastic, drill in the opposite direction (reverse), this way the drill will not kick back, and the hole will be smoother. It will take longer though.

Hey word of the wise for exhaust wrap!!!........soak it for a few hours before you use it in water......it will keep down the glass dust and also let it strech a bit more ......then once it dries it shrinks and your finally product will be tighter and never come loose. Also use worm drive band clamps....pipe clamps to hold it in place!

@Beardest_Fishing Жыл бұрын

If you ever find yourself having to use that exhaust heat wrap again, soak it in water before you use it or try to wrap a pipe with it. It makes the process so much easier, you get a much tighter wrap and the fiberglass shreds won't be as bad and won't float through the air and get on everything. We've used that stuff on just about every car and off-road vehicle we've done and the tighter wrap does a much better job holding in the heat.

@shariselove Жыл бұрын

With those diesel heaters they recommend that you run it on high. The soot you'll get from it from just running it low will build up faster. Running it on high will Burn It Off.

I just got a diesel heater this fall. I'm in Minnesota, it's -10F right now. The battery they have is just fine outside. The heater itself might last a bit longer inside the tent, with the exhaust going outside. That's how truckers do it. The diesel tank itself is indoors for the setups I've seen in RV's and van conversions. I run mine once a month if I'm not using it, to keep it primed. Not much on YT as far as instructions for these. Most are made in China. I know 3 different people using a diesel heater in Canada, and after 1.5 years, they are all having issues with theirs, but this is in a camper van, and they live in theirs full time.
