Actually the two that can be compared side by side are the BA-6 and the
DA-6. there are quite a few differences in the controls. The diesel has
a 2 stage firing rate, actually 2 fuel pumps. There is also something to
increase or decrease the amount of intake air .The housings and actually
the combustion air blower APPEAR to  be the same. there's a lot about
the diesel one I don't understand. Mine presently does not work.  It
lights off, but goes off after a few seconds. These use so much battery
power I don't think anyone would want one for camping. 6 Kcal. How does
that convert to BTU's?
