Did you buy this heater new? Has it been burning dirty since new? If so, I too think you should check the orifice. Could be that the orifice installed is for natural gas which is largerthan that used for propane. If so, this could cause the soot and smell you describe. ----- Original Message ----- From: RJ To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Why does my Propane heater burn so dirty?
If not, check the jet that regulate the gas flow.. There is a name for this opening, but just can't remember how to spell it. For there are more than two letters. smile ----- Original Message ----- From: John Sherrer To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 11:42 Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Why does my Propane heater burn so dirty? If the unit is still under warranty then return it for another unit.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that very important point. This Propane heating stove is not vented to the outside. It's one of those advertised as so clean burning that it can be safely used indoors without venting to the outside.
