If your tent has a liner it would be warmer, but when you are at -30, ten above feels like a slice of heaven! Done many a night with this stove and slept toasty.

I used Yukon's in the Army back in the mid to late 80's and I was shocked to find the upgraded model when I deployed to Afghanistan. I was impressed with the improvements and never thought I'd actually want one for personal use. How times have changed.

how many BTUs does it put out. I read somewhere that it was 15,000-20,000 if that is true the Yukon 1950 gives out 3-4 times more. Thanks for your informative vids and your THOROUGH response this past week about AM & FM radios!!!!! You are a real resource!!!

Thanks for the great Army Training video. Reminded me of rainy day in Germany when i would take my platoon to the MOS library and watch training films. And the EW they had doing the demonstration was outstanding. She deserves a 4 day pass.

I used the older version of the Yukon stove in Korea in 1977-1980. We used Gasoline ,as diesel froze at -30 below, and if you don't try to relight while hot, we didn't have any problems. Nice to have hot water for coffee in the morning, and we used it to heat the old c-rations!

I used all 3 types during my time in the Army. The pot belly, Yukon and the new Hunter. All I can say is clean daily. I used to make my soldiers clean out the pipes each day. Probably because we used JP8 and the old diesel in the Army was pretty dirty. Some dirt, small rocks and shake, shake, shake. Afterwards, the pipes were coated with mineral oil.

@willk6274 6 жыл бұрын

Hmm... never heard of using mineral oil. Sounds like a good idea... anyone had good results using mineral to coat the pipes or is it a waste of time/resources?

@k1111117 Glad to be of service. The documentation says 20,000 btu's. the yukon hands down give off more heat with solid fuels, then again, it could burn more wood at a time.I have both the Yukon and SHA, when I get some more parts and time, I'm going to face these two heater against each other in a video.

@rimfirematt around 40 to 50 pounds, haven't put on a scale or anything. it feels that heavy with all the accessories and parts which fits inside the stove like the yukon. The diameter of the pipe is tapered from 5 1/2 inches at the stove to about 4. inches on the top.

@GUERRILLACOMM 13 жыл бұрын

@InTheSticks0001 I have both and fired them up with scrap wood. the yukon I would say is the better all round stove in this class. you could burn gas, longer pieces of wood and it boils water quickly. The SHA does not boil the same amount of water and does gas is not recommended. I like the SHA for space heating and conserving fuels in my workspace and use the Yukon for burning oils.

@GUERRILLACOMM 12 жыл бұрын

You could try a military surplus store, or, EBAY. they are expensive though. There are two kinds of plasic gerry cans, one for water the other for fuel. good luck. I use a small canister I rigged up to supply the fuel.

@markfothebeast 6 жыл бұрын

I pour a priming cup of generally any low flash point fuel I may have around for ignition. After the burner shell heats up, I feed waste motor oil in to the burner shell. I am working on an oil injection system for it as well as an igniter. I have yet to connect the fuel lines and control valve. This would be useful for ignition fuel.

@GUERRILLACOMM 11 жыл бұрын

initially when you start and at the end it smells of diesel a little bit. During operation it goes away pretty quick. I always let the burner go burning after I disconnected the fuel. it will leak out the overflow hose if you leave any fuel in the system. not a very good on/off mechanism for it.

@GUERRILLACOMM 11 жыл бұрын

Not specifically made for this equipment, what you see is what you get. What I did was use some of the sections that tapered down to 8 or 6 inches (I forget), then transitioned to double walled pipe section you can get at your local hardware type stores. So, far no carbon dioxide leaks or smoke in my garage going this route. Warning, probably not to building code, but its my backup temp survival setup in case I really need it.

@SHAKA38 11 жыл бұрын

Wow, I've actually seen this video years ago on how to use it. LOL. I remember the burner on the old version being on top, and the fill valve was a simple screw. We used a gas/diesel mix usually. I nearly blew my shop foreman to bits once using straight MOGAS with the valve wide open. The sides of the Hex Tent bellowed out like a cartoon when he lit it and he emerged with singed brows and a smoldering moustache. We laughed like hell after it was established that he was free of 3rd degree burns

@ronsmith6233 5 жыл бұрын

I have used the M1950 a lot and the older pot belly a little. The pot belly burner system was similar to the SHA. Using strait diesel or JP4 would soot up the the system and create a terrible mess. cutting in about a gallon of gas would make it burn cleaner and hotter. Using strait JP4 would require cleaning the burner unit and stack every 4 days or so. and what a mess it would be, it's difficult to clean it without becoming covered in soot. I found the 1950 to be a little easier to clean and there is not much to the burner. I don't think I would use solid fuel in ether unless it were life or death.

@Bloated_Tony_Danza 4 жыл бұрын

John Hales I would not recommend used motor oil because the viscosity is too high and it could* have difficulty flowing through the control valve. Used motor oil also runs the risk of not being able to vaporize properly and could* result in a very inefficient burn with high carbon monoxide production. This thing isn’t built to run on sludge, it’s built to run on diesel, kerosene, and in emergencies, gasoline, all of which are much less thick then used motor oil. The manual probably tells you how much fuel it consumes per hour, and coal burns long enough to get you through most of the night without having to constantly keep waking up to stoke the fire.

+nzinga zindua Not my post.. but check your home insurance.. Your rates will either go sky high or you could loose your coverage. It won't heat a garage very well. It was designed for small Artic Tents, the New Squad Tents, and GP Smalls. Nothing bigger than about a room with 15 ' diameter or perhaps 400 sq ft. It'll work in your garage but you'll still need to dress warm. Also, the fuel can sits upside down on a tripod and needs to be located outside the room and place the tripod and drip can inside a large drip pan. As the hoses do leak from the quick disconnects after about a year.
