What did you do as far as venting out the building. Did you just poke it out and put a vent cap , or did you have to put a elbow in it and go up. Thank you for this video

[@TylerCary]

There is an elbow that then goes up past the roof line

Does about the first foot of your tubes glow red? Trying to figure out if this is normal.

[@AmericanFarmerHVAC2024]

Nope. It is absolutely not normal. Something is seriously wrong with these 80K btu units. Mr Heater/enerco should be sued over it. Not all of them seem to glow though, it seems the 50k btu units are fine, and the 125k and above are fine. I've seen alot of 80ks glow, including mine, and also saw several that didn't. I had to retrofit a squirrel cage blower onto my unit, I like the increase in air flow anyway, but if that's what I wanted to do, I would have hung a standard furnace on the ceiling in the first place.

How many sqft did you have in that building

[@TylerCary]

This room was about 20x40. The steel roll up doors were not insulated
