Another option is the Mr. Heater Big Buddy. You can get the hose kit that connects it to a 20 or 30lb propane tanks. They also have a low-oxygen shut-off and rated safe for ice-houses, RVs, etc so you're good to go if you do close up the gaps. The sunflower type heaters are not not rated for...

Thank you for the replies on this. I *think* what I'm going to do is use an existing 6" flange currently in place for the heater I'm retiring. I can trim back just a bit and the 7" should slide right through. I'm still unsure on the storm collar. Probably going to try and order a 7" if I can...

Hi all. Does anyone know where I can get a true 7" roof flange and storm collar to install this heater? I have a new Beacon Morris 75K unit and bought the separate combustion air kit from Menards. For those not familiar the kit combines the combustion and flue venting into a single roof (for...

Huh. I was here on GJ searching for solutions to this exact problem and here is a thread already going. Like this place. I'd like to have the drain inside the garage as well, parallel to the doors so when snow melts it has a place to go. I figure with a heating cable I can melt any ice and...

Ok, more research make leads me to believe I'm ok, good actually with the 6" going through the roof. I was operating under the assumption that I had to have two wall or roof penetrations (which is how I've seen them installed) and wanted to avoid that. I now see with the combustion air inlet box...

Happy New Year. Currently I have an old Dayton 125K BTU heater that has a 6" exhaust vent through the roof that I would like to reuse with a new separate combustion garage heater. With the new heater, can I run the combustion air duct horizontal and use the existing vertical ducting (with two...

Just a thought, but you might see a ten degree drop if you put up a radiant barrier on the bottom of your ceiling joists. I bet your biggest source of heat is shingle/roof heat radiating down. I know that heats up my back shop a lot. Something like Reflectix or other brand may be an inexpensive...

Out of curiosity how would failure happen if it did? I wouldn't expect a failure to be sudden, resulting in significant shift in the loaded post. Rather it seems like there would be indications over time of cracking or sinking of a post. Am I wrong?

You know that is good question. I don't honestly remember, range cable was suggested to me by the guy that gave me the J boxes and it seemed like a good idea that didn't add much for cost. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

Hi guys, New guy here with a question. I have a 500 sq ft, three stall garage that I currently heat as needed with a Dayton 125K btu forced air heater shown in the picture below. Its waaaay overkill but I got it for cheap several years ago and has served me well. I think the time has come to...

Hi all, I'm new here but thought I'd contribute to this thread as I went through this in ~2005 with my shed. My need was for 50 amp service in my shed that is about 100 ft away from my main house panel. To do this I ran four #6 THHN wires, three black (one taped white one the ends for the...
