For example, 30,000 btu and 3,000 btu is equivalent to about 8,800 watts and 880 watts, respectively.
My $15 space heater from Walmart has two settings … 750 watts and 1,500 watts. This heater heats my well insulated, 16 feet long trailer fairly well in the wintertime.
When I boondock in the wintertime, I use a cheap 5k watt Chinese diesel heater that will heat up my trailer from 30 degrees to 70 degrees in about 30 minutes before I idle it down to its lowest setting of about 1,300 watts. Even at the lowest setting, I have to open windows extra wide to keep the temperature at a comfortable 70 degrees. I love my diesel heater. Extremely fuel and amps efficient.
