more like tent heater...  It is a much older version of a kerosene heater than the one in our bunkhouse in the '70's

Very very close. A heater yes, but me thinks you are all too young to have used one of these for it's designed application..... :)
Or at least too smart!

We used to use something similar to this to pre-heat the oil in our old Radial Engined DHC3 Beaver.  During the  coldest parts of winter, we'd drain the oil after a flight and then pre-heat it before the next one.  We sometimes used a heater like the one in the pic.  Sometimes, we'd just use the heater under the engine with a tarp or two to build a tent-like structure.

smudge pot, for laying down smoke in an orchard for frost protection

-edit-
Oh, I see someone already tried that.    So, that's what  I need for my listeroid to keep the crankcase from turning to jello in the winter.  No power to run an electric heater.

Not so easy this time.  ;D Input is 115 Volts AC 50/60 Hz or 100 Hz. Output 12-30 Volts DC.  :)

Except for the PWB, it looks homebuilt.   variable power supply with 3 relays with swamping diodes on them.

I'll have to pass the homebuilt angle on to the manufacturer that's been in business for over 80 years.  :)

That should get a chuckle out of them.

The wire bundle (it's not a harness) looks to be a mess.  Automotive crimps and such.  (I guess I did too much spacecraft work)
