    Diesel Heater AC/DC Power Adapter *Cigarette Plug to Wall Plug

    Diesel Heater AC/DC Power Adapter *Cigarette Plug to Wall Plug

    If your power station keeps tripping the breaker when using a 12V (cigarette plug) setup, this adapter can help. Switching to 110V provides more stable power delivery and helps prevent your power bank from shutting down during startup.

    This is a universal AC/DC adapter for any diesel heater, it is not made for our Combusto, as we’ve integrated 110V AC power directly into the heater. If you’re running a 12V cigarette plug setup or already have a diesel heater, this adapter is a great solution.

    *Product images feature the Combusto V2-V3. 

    We are currently on V3.1, with small changes in design layout. 

    This unit is intended for quick, ground-level run-and-gun use. For safety reasons, do not permanently bolt the heater to your racks or operate your vehicle with the heater fixed in place. Always use a quick-release style mounting solution instead.

     

    Our customers have successfully tested two mounting methods:

    -Diesel Heater Exterior Hangers (Affordable) 

    -Croc Hinge Recovery Bracket(Pricey)

     

     

    Before your overland trip:

    1. Read through the instruction manual.
    2. Save this Link as it gets constant updates.
    3. Please prime it in an open space area before your first outdoor use. 

     

     

     

     

    Production & Lead Time : As of winter 2025, we’ve been unable to maintain extra inventory, so all heaters are now turn-key buildsmade to order, tested, and shipped fresh. We are experiencing longer lead times due to demand

     

    Combusto Updates:

    We’re making two design changes to the Combusto heater.

    If you have any custom design requests, feel free to reach out when ordering your turn-key build — the layout can be customized to better suit your setup, whether for a ground tent or a rooftop tent.

     

    1. Intake Ducting May Be Removed

    We’ll be removing the clamps and brown ducting connector between the intake outlet and the core unit cover, leaving them disconnected by default during shipping. The connector will still be included inside the case and can be optionally installed if desired.

     

    After collecting sufficient feedback, we’ll decide whether to retain or permanently remove this ducting outlet in future versions. Originally, the outlet was designed to cycle warm air from a tent back into the heater, but since the 5 kW unit already provides strong output even in subzero conditions, this feature may be better suited for the 2 kW version moving forward.

    2. Power / LCD Panel Port Relocation / Deletion

    We’ve relocated the power port and LCD panel connectors to the intake side of the unit. This change follows our updated design approach:

     • Hot components remain on the exhaust side

     • Cool components are positioned on the intake side

    We’re also evaluating whether to retain or remove the external LCD port, keeping the control panel mounted internally for a cleaner and durable setup — especially since the remote control can fully operate the system on its own.

     

    These updates are designed to improve user convenience, enhance service accessibility, and extend component longevity. We welcome your ideas and are always happy to make your design requests a reality.

    Return Policy: 

    All sales are turnkey builds and final. We do not accept returns unless the Combusto unit arrives damaged during shipping and is non-operational within 7 days of delivery.

    If a technical issue arises, our team will provide troubleshooting assistance to help resolve any error codes or operational concerns. If you choose not to proceed with troubleshooting, a return may be accepted; however, return shipping costs will be deducted, and the restocking fee may be waived at our discretion.

     

    Each unit is fully tested before leaving our warehouse to ensure proper performance, so there should be no issues upon delivery.

     

    Warranty:

    We provide replacement parts for up to six months from the delivery date. Our warranty includes troubleshooting support and the replacement of defective components. For minor issues that don’t require a replacement part, we’ll guide you through the troubleshooting process only.

     

    Warranty Exclusions

    Your warranty will be void under the following conditions:

    • Any modifications to the original design.
    • Misuse or failure to follow the operational guidelines.

     

     

     

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, we simply reorganized the internal layout to improve thermal separation.

    All cold-side components are now positioned on the right-hand side, while all heat-generating components remain on the left-hand side. The aviation power port and air intake have been relocated to the right-hand side, and the exhaust and hot-air outlet are positioned on the left-hand side.

    As part of this update, we removed the intake ducting that previously bridged the core unit air inlet on the right-hand side. Airflow is now handled more directly and efficiently.

    5kW Combusto

    Best for deep winter, larger spaces, and extended overlanding setups. Delivers maximum heat output for extreme cold, multi-person tents, or enclosed workspaces. Ideal if you camp at high elevation or in sustained freezing conditions.

    2kW Combusto

    Best for compact setups and travel-light builds. Provides efficient, reliable heat for smaller tents, solo campers, or short trips where portability and low power draw matter most.

    Quick Recommendation

    Choose the 5kW if you camp in harsh winters or need serious heat.

    Choose the 2kW if you want a compact, efficient heater for lighter, mobile setups.

    All power stations — even entry-level units — can run the Combusto using our new 110V adapter. The only time you may run into breaker-tripping issues is when using a 12V cigarette-lighter plug, as those ports are not designed for high startup loads.

    Power Draw: Both the 2kW and 5kW models pull 8–15 amps during startup, then settle to 1–3 amps while running.

    Fuel Consumption:

    2kW model: ~0.2 L/hour

    5kW model: ~0.4 L/hour (depending on heat level)

    Priming & Break-In

    Before first outdoor use, run the heater at maximum power with the lid open for about one hour. This allows the fuel to fully stabilize within the core. Some smoke from the heat wrap is normal during this process and is caused by condensation burning off. Use this time to monitor the unit and ensure everything is operating normally.


    Ventilation & Safety

    Always place the exhaust and muffler outside of any living space.

    Ensure the air intake has fresh, unobstructed airflow.

    Never block air vents—restricted airflow may cause overheating or force fumes back toward you.

    Keep the heater out of reach of children.

    Periodically inspect all fuel connections to confirm they are tight and secure.

    No — the Combusto diesel heater isn’t an Alibaba rebrand, and we’re not tied to any sellers on that platform.

    This isn’t rocket science or a patented invention — anyone handy could throw a heater into a Pelican-style case. The difference is we found a reliable core, we built and refined it around this engine, and stand behind it with real support. That’s what makes Combusto worth owning.

    Out in the market, you’ll find $100 heaters that fail fast, and $2,500 builds that feel overpriced for something you use seasonally. We built Combusto to sit in the sweet spot: a solid, dependable mid-tier option that balances quality, reliability, and price without the nonsense.

    Combusto uses a premium, high-elevation-rated core at its heart. Every component is right there in plain sight—we don’t play the shortcut games here. It’s rugged enough for mountain passes, easy to run-and-gun, and built to stay reliable in tough weather.

    Most cheap diesel heaters use a thick aluminum shell mainly to hide what’s inside—because that’s where the corners usually get cut. Think flimsy water-jug fuel tanks, or worse, copper power terminals still being used for outdoor gear. It makes no sense.



    And to be fair, there are solid brands we respect in this space, like LF Bros and Hcalory.

    Warranty

    We stand behind what we build. If anything comes up—whether you’re in or out of warranty—we’re here to help, whether that means troubleshooting an error code or walking you through a part replacement.

    Return

    You may return the Combusto within 7 days of delivery for any reason as long as it’s unused.

    A 25% restocking fee + shipping fee will apply.

    If the heater has been used, is missing its original packaging, or shows signs of wear, an additional restocking fee will apply. Because this product qualifies as hazmat, we must arrange the return shipment for you. Shipping costs vary by location, and you cannot send this item back on your own without a hazmat shipping permit.
