As I would use this off grid, what voltage range may one use for the thermostat and is the fireing of the gas by electricity or by standing pilot?

It fires off standing pilot. Thermostat requires a 2 wire to thermostat very simple works grest

Pilot is a standing pilot and the thermostat requires no electricity. No electricity of any type is needed to be hooked up to this unit.

This is a thermostat that is normally used for 220V (or even 110V) AC systems. Other thermostats are typically used for DC systems (e.g. where a transformer is present in the circuit).I would consult the gas fireplace wiring diagram.That being said, the thermostat mechanism seems to be MECHANICAL so it could switch any electrical signal...which means it could work for your gas fireplace even though that is NOT the anticipated use for this thermostat.There is no battery or control circuitry/LED in this simple unit.

I really don't know. I have a gas range. If you take into consideration that we use cast iron pans on gas as well as electric - well, I think it would be worth try with VERY CAREFUL monitoring!!!! Or contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say.Good luck

This heater uses EITHER propane or natural gas. There are TWO inlets - one for each. It definitely works when the power is out, it has a pilot light and the temperature control is not electrical.

The pilot on my 60000 btu heater is always on and it heats my 30x40x14 bldg nicely. I turn it off for the summer. I have a CO2 tester to check if the oxygen level ever gets low. It has not gone off in the three years. Hope this helps. Randy

I installed a remote thermostat to the unit I purchased. I wired it up to 240vac, since that voltage provided the highest output wattage. The unit works perfectly. I purchased the thermostat that was suggested/purchased along with the heater. You can also install a thermostat directly on the front panel of the heater.

I use natural gas, and this model is 24,000 btu.Using the thermostat control helps regulate my usage. I use this as a secondary heating source.

This unit is gas and 12v electric to control the electronic pilot assembly, or just plain 120 volts that operate with a heating element It also can operate using both, as when using gas, the recovery is much faster.

Medium to low is best on gas. I don't have an electrical but I would say medium.

what jumper? Look at the wiring diagrams of your thermostat. The power to the thermostat is only to be used if your furnace/thermostat connection doesn't use a 24vac power source. My thermostat needed the extra and I was able to to simply determine that the two wires from the power supply should be on The 3M-50 can be externally powered with a power source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at connect to the C and RH terminals (no polarity). Look at your thermostat wiring diagram to determine the correct connections. My system is very happy with this arrangement, but be careful not to mis-wire your connections. If you cannot find the correct placement, I recommend calling to your thermostat or furnace manufacturer to be sure of the placement, most 'high-efficiency' units are very computer oriented and please do not risk damage to the control unit on your furnace by mis-wiring.

It is electric. no gas involved at all, unless it is a different model than mine.

On the control is written: 120VAC, 42 Watts, 60 Hz It plugs into regular out outlet with 2 prongs. The settings are Warm, Low, Medium and High. I find the Medium setting gets plenty hot, but start there and turn it back to Low after a short time, for sustained heat.

The thermostat does not have an on/off switch.I don't know if it will work on a gas ceiling mounted garage heater.

The Pilot light stays lit as long as you supply the gas, once you turn the gas off you must use the battery operated sparker to lite to pilot light. electric start is more expensive. Once the built in thermostat calls for heat the electric start starts the flame, where the pilot light would light the gas! Again more money for the better stove!! In some cases a lot more!!

Doubt it. Thermostats are low voltage. Cost would be high but you can use a step down transformer. In real life - just turn the stupid thing on or off!

I have a gas range and it's one of best purchases I ever made! Sorry I wish I could help you further.

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.
