Hey All,

OK! The propane gas line is hooked up, leak tested and the dryer is operational. It is definitely getting hot, but the burner sounds funny. Instead of a constant quiet "roar" like the previous dryer or my gas water heater, it sounds like it is uneven or "sputtering". Kinda like a gas BBQ grill does when it is windy. Does this sound normal? Should I even worry about it?

I suppose I need to remove the front panel again and adjust the flame for optimum efficiency. Does anyone have a procedure/manual for this process?

Thanks!

Remove the panel and watch the flame. Should be a steady torch, not pulsating. Make sure the primary air shutter on the flame tube is wide open (usually, it's tacked in place, but it's still worth checking).
