Hotbox Tiddler
« on: December 25, 2021, 18:28 »
Hi guys, yesterday I managed to bag a greenhouse heater plus gas bottle for the princely sum of twenty whole English pounds! I've heard of hotbox before but never owned a heater by them, and even though I've googled, binged and even looked on the hotbox Web site, I can't for the life of me find any info about this model. It works as it should and had my unheated, uninsulated greenhouse up to 12⁰ yesterday when I ran it for half an hour. Has anyone any experience of these, or know where I can find any info about them, manual, output etc.

I eventually got a reply from Hotbox.. one of their reps sent me the following informative  message..

'that looks a very old hotbox'
  :lol: :lol: :lol:

So, I'm still none the wiser.. all I wanted to know was the energy output, ie 1kWh 2 kWh etc!  :D

Hello it could be in BTUs(British Thermal Units)if its gas fired,we had a big 500,000 BTU heater in a greenhouse  that had a fault,some nights it used 250 gallons if oil others it would  50 -60 gallons ,a rep from Hotbix turned up with 2 technicians they told us there was a fault in the circuit board  the 2 planks that the heater on had more sense than the 3 of them together,their suggestion to fix problem was take circuit board out and put bigger tank in ,there should be a label on the Hotbox some where with the BTU kw on it    jezza

Thanks Jezza.. I've looked and lookedand looked again, but there's absolutely nothing on the heater that would help.
