Red and green color may vary. Cold campsites and frozen lakes call for the warmth of a Big Buddy heater. For your next excursion, the Big Buddy will keep you comfortable with up to 18,000 BTU of heat. Swivel regulators make for easy setup; just screw on two 1-lb propane cylinders or connect to a 20-lb tank using Buddy accessories. The 450 square feet of coverage makes any ice shanty a sauna and any deck a sunroom.

Great Emergency Backup

16 years ago
If you live in the country you know extended power outages can be a way of life. Living in a cheap mobile home without the best installation requires something to keep me from becoming a redneck popsicle and this is it. Can take the small disposable propane tanks or the large tank with the optional (not included) hose. Don't forget to purchase the batteries for the fan. Read the instructions completely to prevent making the common mistakes.

Unreliable

9 years ago
I purchased this heater, fuel filter and 12’ hose adapter for large propane tank Dec. 2016. It worked as advertised through Jan 2017 after burning 2 five gallon tanks of propane. Starting in Feb. it would quit working while set on low and became difficult to light. Now it will not work at all. I’ve followed the manual troubleshooting procedures, tried the small bottle of fuel bypassing the filter, hose and large tank. Still inoperative!!!!
