Is this good to control a propane fireplaces?

My use was for a natural gas wall heater. I have no expirience with propane and how their thermo-couplings work. I do believe they would function in a similar manner.

i think it should work, but remember it does not use household electricty, the heating unit creats electricty. and that is what opens and close the thermostat

It would work fine for that. There is nothing to program or batteries to replace.

I can only speak about my application. My application is natural gas with a 750 milli-volt pile generator. In this case the thermostat works flawlessly. I don't think it matters whether you're heating with natural gas or propane. Ensure the gas valve is compatible with the thermostat. Thermostats are generally low voltage items and I'm fairly confident your propane control system is compatible with this thermostat. But without reviewing the specifications I CANNOT accurately say yes or no.

Absolutely! The contact is isolated so it can switch anything up to it's current and/or voltage rating. Your fireplace mV thermocouple signal is not a problem.

Possibly, but it would depend entirely on the control circuitry of the fire place. You'd need to be able to use the timer to interrupt the circuit at a point where it won't interfere with the control settings. That could be simple, or it could be a real pain or even unfeasible. As an example, if the fireplace is controlled by a circuit board, it's very possible the board will default to the "off" setting every time the timer cuts power to it, so you'd still need to manually activate it every time you turn on the timer.

I am presently using it to control a 130 cfm bathroom exhaust fan. It works great.

This should work, it's a heat only thermostat with very simple wiring. Works great for the propane central heat in our travel trailer.

I use it for small jobs requiring more heat than a propane torch. I found it to be useful for small automotive jobs. If your fabricating jobs are light gauge metal, then you should be ok.

I bought it for that purpose -- to use on a butane camp stove when our electricity goes out. So yes, you can.

Yes, it has settings for heat pumps or natural gas. I use it on my natural gas furnace.

Yes this controller will work for you. You will need to use it to control a relay for that large of a load. I used a 60 amp definite purpose relay to control (4) 3.6 KW heating elements.

I do not know, but as jeweler I liked having control over my torch as well as my gas grill. Any adjustable regulator is much better than a non adjustable gas regulator. Thus I would think this would be beneficial? But it is your choice to use this regulator.

I wouldn't because this one puts off more propane fumes. For that I would use a Mr. Heater. It is a radiant heater with almost no fumes.

Yes, provided the control voltage to the thermostat is roughly 24 volts or less. Just make sure your wall furnace doesn't send 120 volts to the thermostat. I've never seen one that does, but I've never seen yours! I'm guessing that this will work fine. I use 6 of these to control hot water baseboard heat (which uses a 24 VAC control voltage) and 1 more for a gas fireplace (that also runs off low voltage). BTW, assuming this is compatible with your system, it is a great thermostat.

I use it for propane. I believe that the fuel type is more dependent on the regulator and not the burner though.

Yes, it will work for any propane or natural gas piece of equipment. You simply route the piping through the shut-off. We're using them for a firetable and a BBQ on natural gas with no problems.

If you have a regular electric switch now, then yes it can. I don't think it is code compliant though, because a fireplace may need to be on a timer, especially if it is direct vent.My condo fireplace had a switch, and the association came in a changed them all to timers - minimally to save money. a zwave control is interesting, cause it could be used for back-up heat if not there.

It would work okay I guess. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation. Burning propane releases toxic gases.

This is a lp gas fire place. So I guess anything that works with gas should be fine. Just don't put wood logs or charcoal brickets on it.
