Is this heater safe to use indoors?

Only in a well-ventilated space such as a garage or workshop with a door or window cracked open. Fuel-burning heaters produce exhaust and carbon monoxide, so never use one in a sealed room.

Can it run on diesel as well as kerosene?

Yes. It is designed for kerosene or diesel. Kerosene burns cleaner and smells less, while diesel is easier to find but can smoke and odor more.

Does the thermostat actually control the temperature?

Yes. The thermostat cycles the burner on and off to hold your set temperature, which is more efficient than a plain on/off torpedo heater.

How much space can 70000 BTU heat?

Roughly a large two- to three-car garage or open workshop in moderate cold. In deep cold or a poorly insulated space, expect a smaller effective area.

What maintenance does it need?

Keep the fuel tank clean and the air filter clear, and store it dry. Dirty fuel or a clogged nozzle is the usual cause of hard starting or smoking.

Our take on the SKYSHALO 70000 BTU Kerosene Portable Diesel Space Heater with Thermostat

The SKYSHALO 70000 BTU is a forced-air kerosene/diesel space heater with a built-in thermostat, aimed at garages, workshops and job sites. It throws a large volume of hot air fast and runs on fuel rather than electricity, so it works where outlets are scarce. The thermostat and automatic shut-off put it ahead of basic on/off torpedo heaters, though it is louder and needs venting like any fuel-burning unit. It suits people heating a big, drafty space who can manage fuel and fumes; it is not a living-room heater.
