Hello!
For years my grandparents had this O'keefe and Merritt Gas Heater in their Livingroom, as their only heat source in that room. It was originally fueled with Nat gas, then years later after they lost Nat gas source, they switched over to propane. I remember them converting the stove over but not the heater, and I don't what you would change on it to convert it. Anyway I took it out of storage to use in my workshop, using my propane tank and hose with regulator, it burns with a mostly yellow flame... is there any way to adjust that?.
But, For all I know maybe it's only supposed to use Nat gas?
The name plate on it only says: "O'keefe and Merritt No.80" Theres nothing like a pilot light, you just use a match when you use it.
Also, even though there is a vent outlet on the back, It's always been capped off, it was never vented at their house.. that don't seem right either, but I spent many a cold night at their house as a child and I'm still alive.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
