After talking to a neighbor who had the same problem with a similar heater, here is the fix. It has worked for him for years and so far works for me. The pilot jet assembly has two holes near the end where the propane line screws in. One hole is facing the front of the heater, the other the...

Thank you for your reply. It is a brand new heater. I don't believe the thermocouple is the issue. If you look at the video in my OP you can see how the pilot flame properly heats the thermo couple until the heater kicks in. Then the pilot flame "blows away" from the thermo couple, eventually...

Thanks for the info! Did they mention how they adjusted the pressure? I don't want to alter the pressure to the house. An inline regulator that I could install in the line to the garage would be perfect.

Thank you all again for all your advice. I will have the gas company look at it and if they can't remedy the issue I suppose I will have to invest in a different heater.

Model appears to be Fisher R632A-JFF I am leasing the tank from the propane company. The attached pictures show the tank with lines going to the garage and to the house, the label on the regulator and the hook-up in the garage. As it turns out I seem to have a two stage regulator with an...

Can you recommend a model to use for the secondary regulator? Is that something I can pick up at HD?

My heater did not come with an external (secondary) regulator. There is a regulator at the tank that regulates pressure coming out of the tank but that is it. Would you be able to get a part # for the regulator your buddy uses?

The heater is correctly set to LP and I believe it has a secondary pressure regulator built in. It works fine in warmer temps. Looks like I am borderline out of specs at my altitude and the slight drop in O2 levels in cold weather is enough to be out of specs. Still waiting to hear back from the...

Thank you, I will look at the models you mentioned. Certainly would not trade the location for anything! :)

Yes, there is a pressure regulator at the tank. From there it tee's to the garage and to the house. House heat etc has been working fine for years, but the tee to the garage is new. Heater instructions don't say anything about adjustment, and I read somewhere that they are rated to 4,500ft...

Thank you all for your very helpful replies. The heater is a DynaGlo "Signature Series" Model BFSS30LPT-4P. I bought it brand new and it is the first winter I am using it. There does not appear to be any adjustment for either the pilot or the main burner. But BIIIK was right: The gas pressure...

I installed a 30,000 btu wall-mounted propane heater in my well insulated 1,500 sq ft. garage. Overnight I want it to keep temps in the 40's with outside temps around and below teens. Elevation is about 4,800ft. I set the thermostat dial to about 45 degrees. Works great, but in cold nights the...

I have never tried to remove a sensor, but I think that should be possible. To change the battery in the sensor you just slide it out from the back plate that is stuck to the window/door. In 2+ years we have not had to replace any of the sensor batteries.

I had my reservations about the tape that comes with the key pad. Stuck the pad to the wall (textured drywall with several layers of paint) and that is where it still is. Strong stuff!

We have had the SimpliSafe system for at least two years now. It is super easy to install and works very well. Great customer service too. I resisted the "hassle" of installing an alarm system for years. Now I am happy I did. Don't have experience with other systems, but I don't see what they...
