Diesel Heater Input

[davids240]

I'm going to be tent camping in Dixie National Forest at the end of March and am definitely going to need a heater for the tent. Only option that makes sense for us is a diesel heater. Looking for recommendations on which one to get. Thanks all.

I went with the Hcalory TB Max diesel heater. The Hcalory TB Max is a compact but impressively capable all‑in‑one diesel heater designed for campers and overlanders,who need reliable heat off‑grid. With an 8 kW output, rapid warm‑up, and a large 7.5‑liter integrated fuel tank, it has a long, steady runtime without constant refueling. Its smart control system—featuring Bluetooth app management, a wireless thermostat remote, and an extended‑cable LCD panel—makes it easy to dial in comfort from anywhere in your setup. The TB Max also stands out with high‑altitude auto‑adjustment, quiet operation, and rugged weather‑resistant construction. My backyard testing included a day in the rain with no issues. The smart remote has a built in CO2 monitor and temp gauge. I put it on auto and through my testing the heater trottled up and down to maintain a pretty steady temperature inside a tent that isn't well insulated. You will see in a picture down below where I used a BBQ temp monitor to collect temp data over a period of time. All of this in a pretty affordable price.

Going to be low 20's in northeast Florida & I'm stuck deciding between making a trip up there or staying at home. #floridaman #floridaproblems

Am I reading that right, that outside was 30 but inside the gazelle was 70?

I have a 20% off code as well...
Use code LONELY20

Hard to beat the HCalory ones at the price they are at.
I personally have not used one but they overwhelmingly have great reviews for "just another Chinese Amazon Diesel heater".
I opted for the BougeRV one with the outer stainless case. And of course they are showing out of stock on it.
The LFBros also usually get higher marks.
Good recommendations above and I don't think you'll regret the purchase.
Mine ran all night on a medium heat, kept the Gazelle plenty comfy, used maybe 3/4 tank of fuel (lows in the high 20's and the whole top of the Gazelle is an open mesh design covered with a rainfly).
Regardless of which one you get, go on ETSY and order one of these adapters.

Yes. I had a moving blanket across the top of the tent under the rainfly covering the open mesh of the tent.

Did you leave your mesh top open? I used a moving blanket to cover it. I'm wondering how yours performed with just the mesh and rainfly.

I've done it both ways.
The mornings it is in the mid 20's or lower I typically will cover the mesh area with a blanket or towels.
If it's just one of those "kinda cold" nights where it is in the 30's or 40's I usually just leave it alone.
