Hot Dawg 60,000 BTU Heater Part 5: Setting the Gas Pressure with a Manometer 

The first thing that stopped my hot dawg furnace after 5 years was the squirrel cage of the draft inducer, completely decengrated. Could not see that part as serviceable, without buying the whole unit. Made adapter for different shaft, hole size and used blower fan from another brand furnace. 29.00$ fix.

Great series of videos on the heater installation - thanks!

Thanks for posting this!!! I'm in the process of putting my own in and it's good to see what i'm in for. Good clear video and a sense of humor too!

Great series! Saved me hundreds of dollars following along. Now I have heat in my woodworking shop. Thanks

While searching RU-vid for a how to video I ran across your tutorial series on installing the Hot Dawg Heater. Thank you SO much for putting this video out. It has helped me tremendously as I tackle the same project. Also I must say I am really impressed with your knowledge, skills, and craftsmanship. WELL DONE SIR!

Great video. Helped me dial my big maxx in.

Thank you for this informative video, I do enjoy these videos Thank you so very much for your time and effort into putting these vids on here

I got mine fired up the other day. Your videos were very helpful and I learned a ton during the process. Quite a process but I have heat now and saved tons of $$. The 100k btu version may be a little large for my 880 sq ft garage with 10ft ceilings! Heats very fast. I’m very glad I insulated well.

Hello! I wanted to let you know that I have followed your series from start to finish. I now have a Hot Dawg installed in my garage and it’s great. I’ve heard people say they are noisy, I don’t agree. I think they are fairly quiet. Anyway, thank you for all the work you put in to creating this great set of videos. Of special concern to me were the one on venting and the one on using a manometer. I’ve had no experience with either, you gave great instruction on how do them!

good job

I worked in the oil and gas industry for over 40 years , just advice to you young man always put a 1/4 turn valve below your gauge if the gauge fails you will fill your shop with gas . and it makes it easier to change out the gauge.

Great series of videos. I have been playing with the idea of installing one myself and the videos that you have done are exceptional. At the present I am using a 30,000 btu vent less heater running off of 20 lb bbq tanks. I have 4 tanks and keep switching them out until I am on my last tank and then go exchange them. I have a 28' x 30' garage with no wall insulation and 7.5" of blown in insulation in the ceiling. Live in N Illinois and it does get pretty cold here. I only use the heat when I am actually in the garage but like you have said it sure would be nice to go out to a garage that is already at 40F. Again, nice series of videos!!!!

my hot dawg lasted 6 years the circuit board is fried in it , there pretty easy to work on .

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TWO TERMINALS ON THE HEATER DO I USE TO CONTROL THE HEATER. USING THE THERMOSTAT THAT CAME WITH THE UNIT

Kind of a good idea that you do have a gauge on the inlet just because you never know if something changes down the road but I guess your LP so whatever

If you dont mind, send us an update on how happy you are with this...

Cool video series. What part of the country are you in? I will need to put one of these in next year. Currently using electric heat in my shop and I think gas would be considerably cheaper. Running the numbers bear that out.

Did you ever do a follow up video of how it has been working and cost breakdown of running it?

I've seen in some of your videoas what looks to be a brand new pole barn. Why not make that your full time shop?

What color are those flames entering your heat exchanger? Blue or orange.

It thoughts on how the inducer motor just turned on like that then the burner came on after it

Hiya, It’s Dave again...I’m just curious as to why you didn’t adjust the outlet pressure (after the gas valve) as per the instructions included with the Hot Dawg ? I get why ya adjusted the inlet pressure from the outside regulator...but why are you using the outside regulator to adjust the outlet pressure (manifold side) ? Mine has an adjustment screw on the HD valve...Doesn’t yours have the screw on the HD valve itself ? Again, you’re (6) install videos are awesome 😎

What is the pressure you are feeding to your burners?

Where did you buy the heater from

what is the other fitting used for on top of your meter on the left?

What happens if there's too much pressure being used on that heater

If inlet pressure spec is 12 why did you set it at 10?

That's the third time you turn the heater back on

Time to change the oil in your sweat shirt!

DOES ANYONE KNOW PLEASE LET ME KNOW
