Propane Heater glass fills with black.?
We are using a propane heater in the corner of the room. It is the style that vents to the outdoors. The fire is contained inside of a glass enclosure with artificial ceramic logs to help maintain the heat. It is a big black metal box except for the glass. It seems to be venting fine as we see heat coming out of the outside vent.
The problem we're having is that the glass continues to blacken over time. It cleared up at one point, but now is solid black. Are we doing something wrong? Or is this a malfunction that could be dangerous?
Thank you!!
Black coating is soot. Combustion is not complete - too much fuel or not enough air. Adjust the air mixture (can't adjust gas) so that you see a blue flame. This adjustment is usually near the shutoff valve on the heater itself. It's usually an aluminum disk with a couple of large holes. It sounds like you don't have enough air being drawn into the gas mix. I would also have a pro check for any problems just to be safe.
