Also going to come up with an exhaust box (shell and tube style) to draw the circulating air through and cool the exhaust as it passes through.
Should be able to really increase the efficiency of this thing.
Are you trying to put the heater inside and vent the exhaust outside? I am using a 3" dryer ducting to route heat inside and leaving the heater outside, just to cut down on diesel smell in the tent and pump noise. But I also put a small piece of eaves trough over the exhaust for the ability to run it under a tent so the exhaust doesn't tough the tent and provides enough air space between the exhaust and eaves trough tin that it won't get hot enough to burn the tent.
