What is it?
Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater
What sets it apart?
This patented radiant 4,000-18,000 BTU Liquid Propane heater connects directly to two 1-pound cylinders, and is the perfect solution for heating enclosed spaces like cabins up to 450 square feet, maybe even the deck of a boat or ice-fishing shelter. An integrated fan increases the heating capacity of this unit, blending radiant and convection style heat to give you the best of both worlds.
How do I use it?
Two swivel regulators give you the ability to adapt usage from disposable cylinders to a remote gas supply with the purchase of a single hose and filter. To light the unit, simply push and rotate the knob. The built in Piezo sparking mechanism will take care of the rest. With the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safety shut-off, you can be sure that you will enjoy years of comfortable indoor safe heat.

Angler’s insight:
With two sizes of the classic Buddy Heater available, you may find the larger version more productive in a fishing situation. It kicks out more heat, but runs on twice the propane. Having said that, maintaining some level of comfort when it’s ultra cold on your boat is worth the extra few bucks in fuel. Keep safety in mind at all times when running this unit. And if ice fishing is your game, make sure your shelter is adequately ventilated.
