Product Details
Where a 50,000 BTU Forced Air Heater Makes Sense
If you've got a large, open workshop or a construction site without heat, a forced air heater is the quickest way to warm the space. It doesn't just heat the air in a circle; it pushes a high-volume stream of warm air across the room, so you feel it almost immediately.
Diesel vs. Kerosene: Which Fuel Is Better?
Diesel is often cheaper and easier to find in bulk. Kerosene burns cleaner in colder temperatures. Many contractors use diesel as their default and switch to kerosene when temperatures drop below about 20°F (-6°C), because diesel can gel. This DEWALT model gives you that flexibility.
Important Safety Habits
Always provide fresh air ventilation, keep the heater away from flammable materials, and let it cool before refueling. These simple habits extend the life of the heater and keep you safe on the job.

This heater is designed for clean diesel, kerosene, or a diesel/kerosene blend. Always follow the fuel recommendations in the manual.
Can I use it indoors?

Works great in the shop
I use this in my workshop. It warms up the whole 1,200 sq ft in about ten minutes. The electronic ignition is nice not having to fiddle with a glow plug.

A workhorse
I've been using this heater for two winters now. It's a workhorse. The forced air really moves the heat around, and the diesel smell is minimal when it's burning clean. It uses about 12 gallons over 24 hours if you run it continuously, but I usually just need it for a few hours in the morning. The only issue is the noise—it's loud like a jet. But if you're in a shop, it's expected. For the price, it's hard to beat.

Great for the barn
Bought this for our barn. It heats the space quickly and the thermostat works well. The electrical cord is a bit short, but I just use an extension cord. Overall, good value.

A beast
This thing is a beast. It's huge and pretty loud but it'll knock out the chill in no time. I used it in my two-car garage and it got toasty in like 5 minutes. Just don't leave it unattended.
