36x84 pole building 1 1/2" closed cell foam on walls and 3" condensation control blanket on roof, commercial uninsulated doors 3 10x 12 and 2 12x14 figuring 125k , both seem comparable in price but hot dawg puts out quite a few more cfm. Thoughts?

when I was building, I asked a relation through marriage about a big maxx. vs modine .
He wasn't supplying me, I just asked the question.. Hot Dawg was his recommendation.
having said that, I'm sure big maxx are using off the shelf parts for most things. the heat exchanger & case are probably all they make.

I had a Hot Dawg in the past and liked it. Sold the house and moved. Now I have a 30 X 50 garage and installed a 80,000 BTU Big Maxx and it works well. Both were fairly quiet. Never had either long enough to compare reliability for what it is worth. It's like buying one furnace brand vs another.

I ordered a hot dawg. The jump from 1500 cfm to over 1900 for about a 100 seemed worth it, now to find a wifi thermostat for it and get new gas line teed off from gas company

The Hot Dawg will serve you well!

I lucked out when I found my HD 75K on Ebay........it was a "damaging during shipment" and was only $575 shipped

I sold my 45K for $400 and bought a new 75K for $575 shipped......a good price I think, plus I got the initial 45K heater for free

The outer case had a small dent on the top...........so silly. Great price though!
