I have a Reznor garage heater that I need to hook up a thermostat to.
I got a heat-only Honeywell thermostat which has connections for R,W,
and Y. The heater has R,G,W1 and W2. How do I hhok it up, or do I
need a fancier thermostat? All the manual says is to use a 24V
thermostat, which this is. Thanks.

        You need a stat with an 'HO' ( Heat Only ) terminal. Ask for
one at Home Depot.

Did you install the heater?

Well it's like this...

#1 you have the heater's installation instructions
#2 you have the thermostat's installation instructions

Having this two documents, you can't hook-up a simple control. So what makes
you think you could install the heater properly and to code?

Now, before you get all pissy and say it's not that hard and it's not rocket
science. Who's going to check and adjust the gas pressure?
Who's going to do the electrical? Who's going to inspect the flu termination
to insure it's safe?

Some things should be left to a trained professional.
