- Poor Mans Furnace Dyna-Glo 30000 Propane Heater Tips and Tricks
Tips and Tricks My Dyna Glo 30,000 Propane Heater Made into a Portable Garage Heater.
Call it a Poor mans forced air furnace lolol.
Put it on rollers, mounted a 20lb tank on the back and put a fan on top to move the heat around.
As with all heaters you should never leave it unattended
and exercise cautions in its use. #Shorts

I loved it so much ... I went and got a Big One 😂 lol
Oh my😂😂😂😂he likes the big ones the most 😂😂😂😂
A friend and I took an unused sauna heater from my moms house and put it in his garage. Put a box fan on it like you have done and that thing melted the snow a good 9 feet all the way around the garage generally if you were in working you would have to open up the overhead door and cool it down a bit. It was electric. I hope you have some carbon monoxide detectors…!
when my furnace went out wanted $12,000 for a new propane furnace...l figured it's just burning propane so l got a couple of big ones like yours and for 600 bucks vs. $12k.
I have the 20,000 BTU one in my shed. The only downside is they do burn quite a bit of propane so they are pretty expensive to run but you can’t beat the amount of heat that comes off of them is quite nice.
I bought mine yesterday natural gas, my home has central heating but it is electric, something was not right some rooms where to hot some to cold, with is heater warmed up the full house loved it!!! Never been so warm❤
Might have to alter the balance of the vents. Could be able to get some vents that can be closed automatically if it’s too hot or cold in a room.
@ Sams Wood,
You need R8 insulation on your garage door.
My furnace quit I bought a 20000 BTU model hooked it where my dryer went and it heats my whole house 149 for the heater all together 227 for parts I blow a fan down into the kitchen cold air return which pushes it through my whole ductwork system and heats the house
I bought the 30,000 btu natural gas heater last year. I love it. I've yet to turn it up to setting 5.
After 6 winters w/o a heater in my 20' x 20' garage that would get below freezing, I purchased the 30k heater with the optional blower and hooked up to the natural gas line. Although we have not yet had below freezing temperatures it is keeping the space at 55-60 on the lowest setting. So far I have been satisfied with it.
Great video and great heater
You got a 20lb tank hooked up but the website says to use a 100lb. Does that matter?
It gives you instruction on what to do with a 20 to 100 lb tank
I bought one a couple years ago with the intention of trying to use it off of 20 pound tank. Despite it saying 100 pound tank required. it wouldn’t stay running for long. It would draw too much and freeze up the propane tank, and the safeties would shut the flame right off.
What kind of hose and regulator do you have on the dyna glo? I used the my heater kit to connect to the tank and it keeps freezing up.
Hi Dean: my heaters are Mr Heater brand. I use Mr. Heater F273071 5 ft. Propane Hose that is made to hook up to a 20lb propane cylinder and never had any problems. if your hose is freezing up its probably passing to much propane.
OOPPSS the big heater is a Dyna Glo! sorry bout that..I have the same hose on it as the Mr Heater one.
How long will a single tank last?
i run a 20lb tank for about 1 to 2 hours a day and get about a week to 1 1/2 weeks out of it
1 gallon of propane is worth roughly 90k btus and the heater puts out 30k btu per hour. 1 gallon of propane weighs around 4.2 pounds, so that 20 pound tank has roughly 4.7 gallons so you should get a little over 14 hours from that size tank.
Thank you for sharing. So basicly because the dynaglo has a thermostat it actually will run longer when you adjust it.. So basicly a week and a half could be the max. Also you have it on a 20gal its not what is recomended in the box. Thank you for showing me it works great! I was gling to do this.
I got a small heater like that but I can't use it the stench is unbelievable even with just the pilot light lit smells like kerosene and there's nothing in my trailer to make it smell like that
I head less smell with my kerosene heater then with this propane I wasted my money
How did you mount it on rollers?
everything is mounted on plywood with scrap 2x6 runners underneath for strength and to mount the rollers on
Is this legal to use inside of house with no carbon monoxide issues ???
Ignore the law but don’t be ignorant. Just use science and math to calculate how much co & co2 will be produced per - open windows / doors accordingly.
@@dackbowland1876not a risk I'm willing to take. Install a reverse cycle air conditioner
@@dackbowland1876Well in some places I guess you don’t have to ignore the law because it isn’t against the law. We have had ours for a long time & my sister just had one installed last year, both in our homes!!! And guess what! It’s legal to use inside of a house! These heaters come with safety shutoff valves but we still bought & use a carbon monoxide detector just to add triple protection.
@@dackbowland1876 I don't burn LP I use it to move heat. It's much more efficient using it as a refrigerant rather then burn it directly
@@joshtheracistrvnerd
I’ve never had any luck and lots of wasted money with anything but furnace.
Would this work in a power outage?
Yes it would. The dyna glo only needs some propane.
Could it be used in an emergency to heat an apartment during an outage in winter?
yes but it puts out a lot of moisture
@@HughMyronM8my grandmother has one in the front of the house (living room kitchen and dining room)
And I just baught another one for the back of the house, (a den that has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom connected to it) should I use it or do you recommend something else? I baught the one that has the rock like square that turns red, does it also put out moisture and also what makes the moisture. Thanks
@@R.A.H225 It's fine to use it. If you use propane, moisture is released as the propane burns. I would recommend using a dehumidifier in the house also so you don't have any problems with mold or mildew.
@@HughMyronM8 okay great, so just found out, they charge $100 if you let it run out. Last question, why is that? And they also found a small leak at the top of the tank when they filled it 100 gallons ($500) and they told her she could still use heat and they would be back after the 1st of the year to swap tanks. Do you agree with them to use it and I havnt hooked up the 2nd heater due to that. Just was nervous until they swapped tanks. What do you think and thanks for the help!
@@R.A.H225 Not 100% sure but I think they charge $100 when it's totally empty because they are required to perform a leak test on it. When tanks get empty, it can lead to moisture and rust in the tank. If they are telling you it is safe to use, I would assume it's true. They wouldn't want to be liable for recommending something dangerous.
They are inefficient with propane
100% of the heat goes into the room , that's pretty efficient 😅
@@ironsidze1932yes and all the deadly gases
@@joshtheracistrvnerd name em
@@joshtheracistrvnerdDeadly? Hmmm I was raised in a home that used the old school type of heaters. If you research these newer blue flame types you would know that the blue flame means it burns most of the gases meaning less possibly harmful gas released. But even for the ones deadly I wouldn’t quite call it that. As I said I have decades where every year we had a yellow to blue flame heater & everyone in my home lived, no one died! Besides those gases would rise to the ceiling & leave through the vents, so it’s not like it’s burning a pile of leaves in the house.

How long does the 20lb tank run the small one
A 20# tank has 435,714 BTU so just divide it by the output and you get your hours 😊
That’s continuous. Most heaters with a thermostat won’t run continuously.
I’m also curious why they tell you 100lb tank minimum required.. only reason I haven’t bought one yet.
@@JordanHoffman1 you can call them but technically there shouldn’t be an issue
@@JordanHoffman1 they tell you that because it will draw too much off of a 20 pound tank the tank will freeze up gas pressure will drop and the safety in the unit will shut the flame off.
Trust me I bought a unit and tried messing with it myself a couple years ago.
Can't burn propane indoors
I do it all the time. I keep a window cracked open just because. In my camping trailer & my man cave.
What. Been doing a propane Mr Heater for twenty years,didn't know that.
@@markmcilrath9530 I’ve been running a couple different propane heaters indoors for a few years now.
Just make sure all your fittings are tight and don’t leak. I use the liquid sealer on the fittings to be on the safe side.
