    Hey sparky, it looks like in this video you do have cob webs in there. Does it look dusty, dirty. and spider webs? That can cause flames to go in different directions, flame outs, bursts etc. Can you blow out the furnace?

    I know mine will do almost the exact same thing when the filter gets too dirty. That's how I know it's time to change it.

    Oh, and about once every couple of years I have to pull out the flame sensor (thermocouple?) and use some red scotch brite to clean the white ash build up off of it.

    Ya, I had to change the filter often also. But when I had my last house, and my camper heater, those damn pesky spiders would get in and foul up the works with webs, and dust would collect on the webs. Little bastards!!

    I think tomorrow I will go to town cleaning it. Then we will see. I got some decent heaters that I can use tonight. The kind that turn off if tipped over.

    This thread actually brought back some fond, childhood memories for me. I grew up in a house where all we had was a fan forced, natural gas space heater. I remember coming inside on a cold day and standing in front of it to warm up. It was a 2000 square foot "ranch" home and you'd be surprised just how warm this one heater kept it.
