The Reddy RFA50 is a 50,000 BTU forced-air torpedo heater that moves 175 CFM and heats roughly 1,200 sq. ft. It runs on kerosene, #1 or #2 fuel oil, JP8 or jet fuel, so you can burn whatever is on hand. A 5-gallon tank gives up to 14 hours of run time, and the 1-touch ignition, flame-out shutoff and overheat protection make it simpler to live with than older manual-light models. It suits job sites, garages and unheated workshops; against smaller 35,000 BTU units it heats more space, and against bigger 70,000–125,000 BTU heaters it is easier to fuel and move.
