    We still use those under our tractor shelter, never thought about using it the way you do, thanks for sharing. Take care and have a blessed rest of the week.

    You have to leave the lid open until it starts to get hot and smoking pretty good. That’s when you know that it’s “up to temperature,” and burning good. Then you can close the lid and adjust the airflow.

    This is to keep the orchard from frosting?

      Yep! It heats up an area and prevents frost or freeze damage on sensitive trees or plants.

      They are really good at what they do. They also make great outdoor work or patio heaters.

    Hi! Thanks for the video! Just picked up one of these from an old vineyard here in Suisun City. In the video description you say not to use gasoline as fuel but I’m confused because isn’t that gas you are pouring in? It sounds like you said gas. Just wondering how to do this without causing issues 😂

      Gasoline can be used to start them quickly. About 1/2 or one cup of gasoline. The main fuel(majority of the liquid) should be diesel, kerosene or oil, like vegetable or used motor oil.

      If you were to use all gasoline as fuel, it would probably explode at some point or burn out of control.
      Thanks for watching!! Appreciate the support! 👍🏻

    Could you redo the video without the music? Thanks

      Not sure I can. Or I should say, not sure I know how. I will try.
