Equipment Characteristics, Capabilities and Features

  1. The Type I (Solid Fuel) heater operates safely with wood or coal. The Type II (Liquid Fuel) heater operates safely with diesel fuel (DF-A, DF-1 or DF-2), or jet fuel (JP-5 or JP-8).

NOTE: There are two different H-45 stoves:The Type I which burns solid fuels only and Type II which burns liquid fuel only. At NWTC you will be exposed to the Type II Liquid Fuel H-45 only.

  1. Use the H-45 to heat all General Purpose Tents. The H-45 and component parts weigh approximately 60 pounds.
  2. The H-45 provides heat in the range of 20,000-45,000 BTU/hour. The Thermoelectric Fan (TEF) help to circulate the heat generated by the H-45. The TEF is not issued with the H-45 and must be procured separately.
  3. Approved liquid fuels are JP5-8, DF-A-1-2, Kerosene and Jet A; approved solid fuels are wood and coal. Never use Gasoline, JP-4, used motor oil, solvents or other unauthorized fuels. Using unauthorized fuels creates a fire danger and potential for explosion.
  4. One 5-gallon-can of approved liquid fuel burns for approximately 8 hours at the maximum firing rate.
