We've found a new way to heat our studio. Diesel heaters are cheaper than electric heat and far cleaner than gas heaters. You can use a variety of fuels such as kerosene and store it long term to add some self-reliance to your homestead. Diesel heaters are intended for use in camper vans, trucks and other vehicles, however they're also ideal for heating cabins, sheds and small office spaces. In this video i will show you our new heater setup and discuss the advantages. Please note this video is not sponsored by Vevor, we simply heard good things about their heaters and spent our own money on one.
