View mr heater big buddy
what good is a heater that smells so bad that you can’t stay in the room with it without feeling dizzy & short of breath & sick??
Reminds me why my keroscine heaters stay rusting in my garage without ever being lite up. what a sad waste of money.
here is a heater that does not smell & won’t make you sick, even if you run it on high all day long in a small room!
and it puts out 4000, 9000 or 18,000 btu/ hour
propaine in the 20 lb tanks costs me $15.00 a week to heat a 20 × 20 room.(for 4 to 6 hr /day of heat)
if I heat 10 hr a day , the 20lb tank goes empty in 6 days instead of 7
Mr heater, big buddy model is approxamatly 18 inch wide x 18 in high x 12 in thick
& wieght is 7 lbs.
It is free standing, portable & opperates from either 1 – or 2—- 1lb propane tanks
or one or two 20 lb propaine grill tanks. It has a 6 volt fan blower built in that (takes 4 Dcells) or a 6 volt 800ma
ac to dc adaptor
It has 3 settings and two ceramic burners. left side ceramic is 4000 btu low & 9000 btu high and right side ceramic burner is 9000 btu
So you can run at 4000 btu, 9000 btu or 18,000 btu .
there is no thermostat , so it runs at what you set it at manually .
The great thing about mr heater big buddy is that it burns with no smell ,no oder because of the extremely efficient honeycomb ceramic burners.
It can burn in a 20 ft x 20 ft room all day long with no smell.
It easly moves from room to room as you do.
It can be connected with a $20.oo 5 ft hose to the 20 lb gas grill tank or if you want to be in code, use the 20 ft hose that cost $30.oo, mount the gas grill tank outside the house & have the 20 ft hose come in to the room through a 1 inch dia hole in the wall.
Mr heater big buddy runs about 1 week when you run it(4 to 6 hr a day) on the 20 lb tank, more or less, depending on room size & temp & also depending on btu setting of 4000,9000 or 18000
It has a tip over safety shut off & a low oxygen safety shut off, so that it does not burn up all the oxygen if you fall asleep in the room when it is running.
They tell you to leave a little ventalation, crack a window about 1/2 an inch but my rooms are drafty enough so that I never need to. some times I crack open a door from 1 room to the next about 1/4 inch if im running at 18,000 btu
I have 3 mr heater big buddies, I bought the first one & liked it so much that when it went on sale for 79.99, I bought 2 more.
reg price is 150.oo each but you can usually find one on sale for 79.99 or 120.oo
hunters use them in their duck blinds & tree perches and to heat their tents at night
with the 1 lb propane bottles. mr heater holds 2 – 1lb bottles inside itself because it has a left side & a right side regulator with propaine bottle screw ins on each side.
you only need to provide gas to 1 side, either right side or left side because the not used side automatically shuts itself off when ever a bottle or hose is not screwed into it.
one side hooked up will provide gas to both ceramic burners, similtaniously.
the 2 sides are so that 2 -1lb gas bottles can double the run time for camping in a tent.
Again, the beauty of the mr heater is that it is the only unit i have ever used that does not stink me out of the room And it provides plenty of heat, 75 deg inside , 5 deg outside, even for a 24 ×24ft room.
the fire dept does not allow the 20 lb tank inside the house. you will have to run the 20 ft hose through the outside wall and mount the tank outside.
You can try buying it on the internet. two web pages that have it are

and there are many more, just google,or ask.com or bing.com- mr heater,big buddy
WARNING; DONT CONFUSE mr heater BIG Buddy with (mr heater, buddy)
mr heater buddy has only one burner so there is just 4000 or 9000 btu —no 18,000 btu
BIG BUDDY HAS TWO BURNERS 4,000 & 9000 on the left & another 9000 on the right
there is also a mr heater buddy that only has 1 ceramic burner , no 6 volt dc fan and provides either 4000 btu or
9000 btu. it has internal storage for two – 1 lb propaine bottles it is 9 inch wide, 18 in high and 12 in deep and weighs about 4 lbs.
It gives only half the heat of the mr heater big buddy but for a 8 ft x 8 ft space it does an ok job.
mr heater buddy is used where 1 man has to stick it in his back pack & hike it in where weight & size is a bigger consideration than available heating capacity.
mr heaters allow hunters & campers to opperate in the dead of winter where before mr heater, they might well have frozen to death.
the 1 lb propaine bottles give 3 hours of heat each , so a full unit would have 6 hrs supply.
