Omg hahahaha my app wouldn't refresh so I couldn't see the new post !!! And Leo kinda scared me for a second there but!!! After Recieving this product and doing some testing and assembling. (Which I have many pictures of I boxing for you guys. ) I will post in a few.
I'm VERY glad I listened to y'all about previewing the paint off because omg the gas it gave off was TERRIBLE !!!!!
so I got the burnt off last night and already have two coats of high heat paint on it which is recommended on the directions and I must say guys. I REALLY don't think there's too much to worry about with extreme fire hazard now YES anytime there is a flame there's always a risk BUT after burning off the crappy nasty smelling paint I discovered that while this thing can really put out some heat , it is very hard to get it really going just about the only way you can get it really going is by leaving all the cents and doors OPEN once closed the flames go WAY down and I think this is because of the 2.5in. Flew pipe that comes with the kit will not allow a lot of air flow.
My review of this product for those of you possibly interested in possibly buying it in the future.
Product works great!!!! After a few modifications!
When Recieving the product I had already read about every negative review possible and as predicted its was or had to be assembled by a 6 year old. The welds are god awful. Door latch is a joke and the legs to put the product together are unbelievably terrible. !!
Welds
• look like crap
• leak air/smoke occasionally but for the most part the product itself doesn't suffer any weakness due to these crapy welds.
The Latch
• the door latch might as well be a clothes hanger with a bend in it and a nut welded on to it.
The fix
• there's a number of things you could do to fix this the main thing I fixed is just being able to hold the door closed I just took a 3.5in. Carriage bolt 5/16 and replaced the rod it came with the head of the bold acts like a wedge and keeps pressure on the door I didn't put a but on the end of it I didn't see the need.
The legs
• this by far is my most frowned on part of this product.
The legs that come with it are fine it's the ace where you have to insert them and tighten a wing nut that is my focus they aren't even remotely welded on in any orientation to have the legs match up. ! So it looked like 2 of the legs were 2in. Too short !! I ended up replacing it with some stock. 1/2 steel rod scrap from work cut to the link I would need to keep it from teetering.
But that's as far as the complaints go. For 60$ and a little diy fixing here and there I'd say it's well worth it considering the prices for a cast iron one that way too large and not as temporary as this one and way less of the cost!!! Over all it keeps my 25x30 2 car garage very toasty warm!
I'd buy it agin and I'd recommend it to any one with the warning that there will be a little bit of work to do bit yes I like it !
I hope this was as help as you guys were in assisting !!! Thanks guys!
