Does it need ventilation?

Yes. It is an open-flame forced-air heater that vents exhaust into the room, so keep a door or window cracked and never use it in a sealed bedroom.

Can it run on diesel?

Yes, it burns kerosene or diesel. Kerosene burns cleaner and smells less; diesel is easier to find but produces more odor and soot.

How large a space will it heat?

At 70,000 BTU it suits large garages, barns and open work areas. Insulation and outdoor temperature decide the real coverage.

Does the thermostat turn it off and on?

Yes. The thermostat cycles the burner to hold the set temperature, and overheat protection shuts the unit down if it gets too hot.

Only in well-ventilated spaces such as garages. It is ETL certified with overheat protection, but carbon monoxide builds up without fresh air.

Our take on the SKYSHALO 70000 BTU Kerosene Heater

The SKYSHALO 70000 BTU is a forced-air kerosene and diesel torpedo heater for garages, workshops and job sites. It runs on kerosene or diesel, has an adjustable thermostat, and shuts off automatically on overheat. It is ETL certified and rolls on wheels at 28.4 lbs. Against smaller 50,000 BTU torpedo heaters it heats a bigger space but burns more fuel and is louder; against indirect-fired units it is cheaper to run but vents exhaust into the room.
