Craftsman CMXEHAO80FAK Forced Air Kerosene Heater

This heater is designed for well-ventilated, large open areas like workshops, garages, and construction job sites. Because it is a forced-air heater that burns fuel, it should never be used in enclosed living spaces, homes, or offices.

Yes, this model is engineered to run on kerosene, diesel, or JP-8 fuel without requiring any mechanical adjustments or conversion kits. This versatility makes it convenient if you have easier access to one fuel type over another.

The factory-installed thermostat allows you to set a desired temperature, and the heater will cycle on and off automatically to maintain that level. This helps prevent overheating your workspace and can improve fuel efficiency compared to units that run continuously.

The heater includes a high-temperature safety shut-off switch that cuts power if the unit gets too hot, as well as a photo cad cell flame sensor that shuts the unit down if the flame is extinguished unexpectedly.

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the split upper shell design, which allows you to easily access the internal components. This makes routine cleaning and basic upkeep much simpler than with sealed-housing heaters.

This unit is rated to heat an area of up to 2,000 square feet. Keep in mind that actual performance depends on your ceiling height, insulation quality, and the ambient temperature of the space.
