Remove the burner and place the Mr. Heater on top. I used the pilot and thermocouple to contol the burner. I used a GQF thermometer to set my temperature by. The cost of propane made me go to plan B.
Deep cycle battery.
15 amp Solar panel from Norther tools.
Thermostat from GQF.
200 watt inverter.
2 x100 watt lamps. or GQF 200 watt heating element.
PVC and nipple waterers.
55 gallon drom with facet to supply water.
55 gallon drum with 3 inch feeder tube to supply feed.
The deep cycle and one solar panel works well in TX. You may need 2 panels in colder weather.
