WTB Gas Burning Pre Heater Wanted

You might look for an Espar heater. They are made for trucks and boats. They have or had gas, or diesel. You could heat water or air.

espar is way over priced. I have seen guys basically putting one in a box and selling them for over 1200 bucks when you can get a heater that works every bit as good for 100-150 bucks that's already made into and all in one heater.
 
If you want something that always works no matter what the MSR XKG is the stove to get. Burns everything from camp fuel to jet fuel, The fuel is heated by the burner before it atomizes so it can handle -40 without a problem. You can pull the guts and clean it out if it ever clogs. The old ones sound like a jet taking off drove my hunting partner crazy so he got me a new whisper lite that also has a butane adaptor but I still keep the XKG in the plane year round because it will do everything, every day. Not as easy as a generator because you have to tend it closely but it works. DENNY
 
Just wanna share a DIY stove I use a bunch,, very handy for lots of things. I keep one full and ready in the pod for survival situations, but use it quite often to just warm up. Works great in the ice shack and have even preheated with it. I use alcohol stove fuel or heat, lights even in the coldest weather, cheap and easy to make. I get the empty paint cans from Lowes of Home Depot, this one is quart size, but I have made them with gallon size too. Can get hours outta a full can, stick the TP in the can and pour the alcohol in until the TP is saturated, to extinguish just place the lid on the can. Once the paper starts to burn, put it out, allow to cool and then refill. I use an empty can drilled with holes to catch the heat and protect the open flame.







 
This is what I made from some exhaust pipe and an MSR pocket stove.

I've tested it. And yes, there are times it does not want to flow. I keep a cigar torch in my pocket for lighting it and the canister in my coat to keep it warmish.
