OK-installing a Hot Dawg 60,000 BTU garage heater and need to do the wiring, just want to make sure I get it right, so here goes...

According to the chart on this page, the "Unit Total Amps" is 2.5.

Sounds stupid, but a simple 15 amp breaker will be fine?
Is that all the unit draws, just the 2.5 amps?

I concur.

2.5A is hardly anything.

it's just spinning the fan(s) right? The actual heat is coming from natural gas?

15 amp will work more than sufficiently.

agree. 15a will give a lot of room, especially if this is the only device on the circuit.

There will be 24V gas valve control as well.
