Question 1

Can this be used indoors, like a garage with the doors shut?

Accepted Answer

My garage has soffit vents and is not insulated.  I run this with the doors all closed up.  I use a CO alarm with a meter to keep it safe.  The highest level is around 30 PPM which I actually think was from starting up the car with the door open and some wind blowing back.  The big advantage is you don't need to heat the space - if you are working in one area, just position it to keep you warm.  You can also hold your hand next to it to 'thaw' them out periodically.

Question 2

About how many square feet will this heat?

Accepted Answer

Per the manufacturer, Model F271370 will heat approximately 1250 sq ft.

Question 3

What is the blower CFM?

Accepted Answer

The manufacture does not rate these unit by CFM.  They rate them by Square Feet and BTUs.  I use mine for preheating my shop which is 25 x 40Ft.  I it first thing in the morning and take away the Chill of the metal building.  Then I fire up a Wood Burning Stove and heat the rest of the period with that.  I do not want to breathe propane in a closed building.  It also is great if your day in the shop is going to be short and you just need a blast of heat to stay comfortable.  These units move a lot of air.  It runs like a jet engine so to speak.They are very well designed and safe to operate.  The fumes is the only draw back in a closed shop.  Also it is an open flame system and you cannot have anything leaking gas around them as in a lawnmower and etc. Other than the fume issue, I highly recommend this unit if you need a quick blast of heat.  Be Safe and Ventilated!

Question 4

Is the ignitior supposed to spark all the time? As soon as I plug my unit in the ignitior activates and stays on the entire time it's running.

Accepted Answer

Mine is running all the time as if the switch is stuck.    Since many others have noticed this, and it is brand new, this must be a safety precaution.  The spark plug glows red hot during use as well.
