Heater smells I bought this propane heater to try and avoid the smells usually associated with portable heaters. This heater smells up the garage like a lownmower is running in it. It seems like there should be a flame adjustment to keep it from smelling. It is a cheap heater and maybe this is the problem. Is there an adjustment?
I will give this a try. Thank you.I will give this a try. Thank you.

Ready Heater m30 is several years old. The gas smell has become worse. The smell burns my eyes. Is there an adjustment I can make? Or which part needs to be replaces?

I think that it is a cheap heater and the smell is the metal paint is burning .away I think that you should give it a little more time bec after that paint goes away it wont smell any more.

light, adjust or operate the heater. PORTABLE PROPANE HEATER FOR RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL USE. MH9BX. Model #. 02/09 32030. MR.HEATER, INC., 4560 W. 160TH ST., ... Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced. speciFicatiOns. MODEL NO. .... Some people cannot smell well. .... Buddy series hose.
These models require electrical power to run the blower fan.
When you connect the electrical cord, the fan should turn on, then you should be able to start / ignite the propane. if the fan does not turn on when you connect the power cord, you will not be able to ignite the propane.
You need to ventilate this area while the units running! This is potentially a lethal situation!
You are competing with a flame for oxygen and breathing the carbon monoxide gasses
from the heater! Both unacceptable scenarios! you can easily die in this environment!
I cannot stress this enough! You need to open a window or crack the door enough to allow air to circulte and gasses to vent out and escape, If the burning of eyes is really bad your unit may not have sufficient combustion air, I can t tell you without seeing it precisely, you better vent that room though!
I had the same problem. Heater was propane with a long hose for movement.
I put the heater on my garage work bench and the thermocouple tested okay.
Tried to restart and it ran like a champ. Reassembled bottom panel, retested great.
When I set it on the floor, it went out! Hmmmm.
Restarted back on the benck. Great. No good on floor....Very cold (28 F) in the garage.
Think the propane might be going liquid in the hose...when heater hose has a "drip loop"
it works fine.
Maybe this is nuts, but it works keeping the heater up a bit on a STABLE surface.
If you run a propane heater in an enclosed space, such as a garage, you can pass out and die from carbon monoxide poisoning - as well as just a lack of oxygen from running a high-power propane flame. Yes, I would say you are in Danger.
I would not use it any further, I cant say if anything is in the gas, I doubt it, However the propane at too low a pressure etc, can cause this, dont use it with eyes butrning ever!
I will give this a try. Thank you.
