Toyostove 560

[Backwoods_Incognito]

Hi all. First time poster here. I recently bought a Toyostove 560 for my workshop that is 16x32 with a 9 foot slanted roof (Basically 512 square feet) I live in Upstate NY where it does get cold. I've been burning wood for the past 12 years and it has worked pretty well, but decided to go with a Toyotomi so it's warm when I get home from work.

Due to budget concerns for this year I also got the internal fuel tank instead of going for an outside tank. Now the Toyostove 560 will burn K1, fuel oil or diesel fuel. My question is can I burn diesel fuel (readily available) with the internal fuel tank or do I have to run K1 only? May sound like a dumb question but I want to make sure before I fill it up for the first time.

Thanks,
Des

I use diesel in the tank of my k1 salamander heater, no issues.

Toyostoves are not salamander heaters. They are good htrs but To get the best out of them I would burn the best grade of fuel they allow, K1. By going with the internal tank you have to stay up with the supply. Not a hobby I would want, but your choice. Follow your installation instructions and you will enjoy your new Toyo.

My old Monitor heater is K-1 only. That looks like it will be fine with ULSD, so that's what I'd use.

No, there is no problem with burning ULSD from the capsule as opposed to from an external tank. The burner doesn't care where the fuel comes from.
