My Garage/Shop Heater Install

Yup, got a dozen or so of the Costco 4' leds for light, stayed "old school" (fitting, dangit) for the "norusto" "heat bulbs" - keep a little "milkhouse" heater blowing under the PM66, 100 watters under jointers/planer/bandsaw/mill tables, and the one router table that's cast iron. small stuff stays in 33 cu ft dead freezer with another 100 watt (set about 1/2 power with speed control) - so far, knock on wood (as long as I don't have a headache

) ... Steve

Pic #3 Alignment gauges. "Fragile keep flat". Is the weight on top of it your strategy?

Nope, just too lazy to write it THREE times; applies to the WHOLE STACK

Eventually (yeah, right) I hope to gut that freezer and come up with a "circulation friendly" but more efficient shelf system - probably AFTER I find a good bulk sale on those "tuits"

The good news... propane tank delivered and hooked up.

The bad news... I can't get the heater working. It will light with igniter but it won't stay lit once igniter shuts off! I just posted a HELP thread on Garage Journal. Also looking for any thoughts here?

I’m not qualified to provide advice but letting you know I’m “here” for you. Standing by as your support troll.

I checked the inlet pressure... it's reading 11.2 in H2O. Acceptable range is 11 to 14. Checked the outlet (manifold pressure) and it is reading 9.5 when the igniter is on. Once it stops clicking the flame extinguishes. :confused3:
