New Wall Tent, which diesel heater?
Decided to upgrade my wall tent to something new and bit lighter. Ordered a blended Nylon/canvas 14x16 wall tent with porch from Capital Canvas.
Im going to go with a diesel heater from Deakin. Just curious to see how others like them. I am looking at the 12,000 btu trekker model. Wondering if its big enough.
Looking forward to the responses and feedback, thanks to all.

Re: New Wall Tent, which diesel heater?
12,000 will be too small for that size of tent.
I have a Geo-Stove 19,000 btu diesel heater and it's just right for my 10x10. You'll want the 30,000, especially for late season use.

We have a 30,000 BTU for our ice fishing shack (24x12) and it works great, although it will cook us out if you go anything above low. 5 gallons will last 48 hours on low, which is all we ever need once we heat the shack up.

I am a bit concerned about the weight differential between the 12 and 30. I thought I saw a post from someone here that had the small one and it heated the 14x16 perfectly.

Is anyone out there using the trekker ina 14x16 tent?
Re: New Wall Tent, which diesel heater?
Bump...trekker heating a wall tent?
Re: New Wall Tent, which diesel heater?
Bump. Any experiences with a Trekker in a 14x16 wall tent?
Re: New Wall Tent, which diesel heater?
My experience with the trekker I would stay away from those..we had someone that brought it on a fly in for a 10×12 walltent ...he claimed it was amazing but his first time using it ...from get go it seemed finicky and didntt put out much heat while it was -10--15 and we went through 2 20g g cans in 12 days and only using at night before bed and early morning .
To me it didnt seem very efficient at all.
Now keep in mind person brought the stove isnt very saavy in the Bush and maybe didnt know how to dial in correctly.
