    Yes and you will need a 115 volt source to power the fan and the induced draft fan. The ignition is by spark. I would recommend some sort of filtration at the back (return) of the furnace.

    Oh well now, no standing back or matches, just shoot some gas in and cover the hole and no more groundhog.

    propane and CO detectors are available at Home Depot and Lowes. Got one for us ( all propane house ) and for our older daughter ( oil fired hot air ).

    We had a REAL close call with CO from an old Servel propane gas refrigerator about 30 years ago at a summer camp. I wish we'd had a CO monitor. I think it would have made it a non-event.

    These critters are very destructive, just ask someone who had thier floor undermined. It is also a humane way to rid them as they just go sleepyby. I use a weedburner attachment on a barbeque tank cover the hole. They do not seem to come back as with other cures, rifles and such.

    .

    Yes, and NG builds from the top down and goes boom when you turn on the lights. My experience with NG is that it does not contain a stench agent ( ethyl mercapatin usually ). Propane does have a stench agent added and is detectable at concentrations of gas far below the LEL.

    Go modern, go gas, GO BOOM!
