The Reddy RFA80T is a forced-air kerosene torpedo heater rated at 80,000 BTU, enough to warm a large garage, workshop or construction site of up to about 2,000 square feet. It burns K-1 kerosene, #1 and #2 fuel oil, diesel, JP8 and jet fuel, and a full 5-gallon tank runs roughly 8 hours. A thermostat cycles the burner to hold temperature, and the all-steel cabinet is built for job-site handling. It is a workhorse for unheated outbuildings, not a living-room appliance: it needs ventilation, makes noise and combustion fumes, and has no tip-over switch or auto shut-off.
