Our take on the Hykolity 85000 BTU Portable Kerosene Torpedo Heater
The Hykolity 85,000 BTU kerosene forced-air heater is a portable torpedo heater for job sites, garages and large workshops. It runs on 1-K kerosene, #1 diesel or #2 diesel and uses about 0.6 gallons per hour to heat up to 2,200 square feet. A thermostat and high-velocity fan keep output steady, and the steel housing is CSA-certified with overheat protection. It is a basic, high-output unit: simpler and less refined than premium brands like Mr. Heater or Dyna-Glo, but it delivers comparable heat for the money. Owners say it starts easily and heats fast; some find it loud and smelly, as with most kerosene torpedo heaters.
