A non electric shed heater

  • The awesome MakerMoot is coming up (13-15th Nov 2026), Visit the TORM & ARM markets,and have space back at camp to work on projects and enjoy great company. PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I used a gas cabinet heater in my shed. Although the gas can be expensive if you buy calor etc I used a refillable cylinder which cost a fraction of the price to fill.
 
Chinese diesel heater? Reliable and safe, uses a very small amount of fuel, but does need a well charged car battery to start up.

We have one in the camper, after a few hiccups with power supply it works great. Look up Eberspacher, they’re fitted to truck cabs, boats etc. Eberspacher are very expensive, but the system is simple, the cheaper versions run very well.

Otherwise, something like this Aladdin blue Flame below. There are some good paraffin heaters about, Ruby and Zibro I think are Korean makes, designed for domestic use.

You could try and put in a stove i suppose something small like a stanley oisin but maybe cheaper u could run into trouble with getting new pipes as they are stupidly expensive now but sometimes people might be getting rid of them
Edit: don't burn down ur shed especially with u in it

Any way you can insulate it first? A well insulated shed keeps warmer for longer in winter, takes less to heat and even stays cooler in summer.
