You know what would be helpfull.....

Is if everyone who is powering an oven with a torpedo kerosene heater would post how many BTU's it is and what size oven it is heating up. This would show what the maximum space that a certain number of BTU's can handle and if someone already has a oven built this would show what size heater they are going to need. Or if somone knows off hand, what the biggest oven a 100k btu heater can get up to 400 degrees +, whats the biggest a 150k BTU can, 200k BTU, etc.....

I will keep searching my heater for the btu's, maybe i'll find it on the internet also? i'll get back to you guys.

Any ideas? Man, this forum has been dead the last couple weeks.

i cant find anywhere on the heater, there are specs stamped on to a thin plate on the side, but no-where does it say btu, only amperage, and all that jazz, if there is anything else i can look for i'll try.
